Making male friends?

Small example from my own life. I'm new to the area I'm currently in for work and don't know anyone. Walked up to this gigantic dude squatting a good bit and asked him how long he'd been lifting. He really wanted someone to talk to as well because from there it was just bullshit about gym, work, women, whatever. Offered to buy him a beer. Bought him a beer. He goes to some church and he's big into god because he's an ex-addict and whatever. So I asked if I could tag along one time to see what it's about. Met his best friend and their wives and some other people. So now I have some cool friends to hang out with while I'm here.

Most of my male friends in my home city I met through pickup groups or playing tennis.

So basically go do shit you like doing and just introduce yourself and be cool. Guys are easy.

There's a book written by Dale Carniege "How to win friends and influence people" It wont give you BFFs but it can improve your relationships quickly without effort. But yeah, I'm looking for the answer too. Personally I'm trying to get my shit together, not be suicidal, etc. Then you're able to make friends as u're not more a person you wouldn't like to befriend with

Try something completely new that you have no idea about. It can be piano or turtle cunnilingus- doesn't matter. Someone with more experience than you will take you on their shoulders and show you the way. You will get friends.
