Men over 30 make friends with their kid's friends' dads. It's easiest if you have a school the young kids can walk to, as then the parents congregate outside at spit out time. If it's a roll up and toss your kid in the car type, there's always swim meets, cheer practice, PTA, whatever.

This probably wasn't always the case, but there's loads of dads and even grandfathers on school duty these days.

I have no idea what deadbeat dads and childless men do, but I am seeing a theme here: partner's friends, kids' dads, dog owners = use something friendlier than yourself as a crutch.

Can confirm.
Baby is still sub 1 but I've been talking to/hanging out with other dads.

Buy a dog is good advice actually. It is a wonderful icebreaker, and taking your dog to a dog park is another great way to meet people.

This is better if you're interested in meeting women. They are programmed to pet any dog that walks within 10 feet of them. If one is cute, that's your chance to make conversation. Men aren't like that.

Normal city residents are fine meeting others who aren't like the homeless blocking the sidewalks, the criminals shooting each other and breaking into cars, the idiotic ATV and dirt bikers tearing up the streets, or adult-sized NEETs loitering on corners.

yeah, when men don't have a love life they revert to sulking in loneliness, its family and women who bring men back into society.

an overtly men-only group in current year would be packed by grifters trying to brand it as some manosphere "chad versus beta" grindset bullshit and it would become flamingly gay before the first woketard even notices it on their radar.
 
Unfortunately modern life for men is loneliness. The only escape is traditional marriage. Which leads to another conclusion: Only a woman can be a true friend to a man (and only in the context of a marriage). This is the case with me too.
Another thing to consider. If you have daughters, there is no way for you to trust another man as a "true friend". Anytime you do you are putting them in danger.
 
Um. Well. My dad met his current best friend because his son because friends with my brother? It's a marvel really.
 
As it has been pointed out already, get into a hobby then look for groups. From the people I know DIY seems to attract like minded men whether in socmed groups devoted to sperging about it or simply looking for materials for your next project.


Alternatively, I've heard of people making new friend by just getting involved in their local community, join neighbors assemblies I guess.

Ah yes, the Goldman-Murphy phenomenon. Very keen of you to point that out. So as I said earlier, these are discouraged and thus a vacuum is created. Galvanize demand with many fatherless bastards and this is ripe for exploitation and grift. It's something any man should be cautious about.

Sometimes it really is that simple.

It's usually co-ed but volunteering for construction like Habitat for Humanity is a two-fold benefit. First you socialize with that group directly. Second they can take even the most hopeless of tards and teach them something worthwhile that will open more doors.

If you are from the city please do not move to a rural area, fuck off, we're full. The ruralites will not like you; you are driving up home prices and you're going to start trying to turn it into the city you already fled from. Please stay there.
 
I forgot to mention that a lot of dudes meet friends from work, especially tradies. Cheers.

If you think one of your friends would rape a child then you need to stop hanging out with degenerates.

The only option for disillusioned urbanites is to start their own farming commune and build a community from scratch and not get raided by FBI

That reminds me need to call my buddy I haven’t talked to in months.

It also depends on your definition of friend. Mine is, someone who knows my business and I know his; neither of us would backstab the other; both would be available in time of crisis; both would tell the other if he was fucking up. By that count I have… Three friends. Lot of buddies and acquaintances, but only three friends. Met through work, if that helps.

It amazed me when I found out both of my sisters talk to our mother every day. All I could think was “about what?” I call about once every two weeks. “Yep. I’m fine. Working. You?”

I had to break up with a girl I was dating because she called me for 45 minutes every single night to pore over the inconsequential minutia of her day. Nobody anywhere has a life that interesting.
