The whole point of reversing loneliness is to not go bowling alone. Make a couple friends and go with them. You’ll find you’ve been missing something substantial.

It’s the making friends that’s challenging, and we definitely have -the internet -on smartphones -and social media to blame for it. We used to know how to talk to people, which is how you make friends.

The number of men who report “no close friends” has gone from 3% in 1990 to 15% today. That’s so sad, my heart aches for these men. I started a social club for men in my city. This is my issue.

This is missing the point of what I said. It was contextual:

I don’t see much of any room for socialization (where I live, sparse plus I have issues stacked up). It’d even be a hassle to go bowling alone and it’d not be worth the price

I’m not saying it’d be a fix (though in the long-run would likely be better than nothing) but that I don’t see any organic options for me. Especially now that it’s too damn hot to get there via the trail.

I don’t like the idea of needing a corporation to handle it either (heard people complain about meetup), though I just don’t even want to deal with more accounts either.
