Anti Loneliness Club

In the childhood friend thread, more than one person remarked how difficult tf was for adults to make new friends, especially men

First of all, any theories on why that is?

This club is an interesting idea, curious if it will take off and spread

But as someone said I can see it easily becoming a business networking group like BNI, or guys trying to pick up women "I know you're lonely"

Perhaps because as we age we may not know what we want but we're pretty in tune with what we don't want. Also, politics have divided us further. I'm 62 and won't waste anyone else's time or my own time if I don't enjoy their company,

In short, we meet fewer people because we are busier, long since tired of the bar scene, and thus in many cases our worlds have become smaller.
