I'm new to the city and I can't help but notice most guys here are either worker drones or spineless betas who let women run over them. This has created a situation where women are way overstepping their bounds and acting as they their actions have no consequences.

What I want more than anything is to build a tight-knit group of male friends who are consistently bettering themselves and are not so easily swayed as the rest of the beta males. Have you ever had a good group together that jokes around constently, discussed how to solve the world's problems, and are generally a great way to unwind and let loose? This type of thing I haven't had in years and it is driving me to turn into a rigid and angry person.

I know the idea here is to get out and do more things, but I simply don't know where to start or what activities to do! I am self-employed and most of my work can be accomplished from home, making it especially difficult to meet new people. I don't want to frequent clubs and build a social network that way. I want it to be through mutual interests and goals, but the only events I can really find are cheesy meetups on meetup.com.

I've been struggling with this aspect for quite a while now and it has been bottling up into a deep frustration. It's the kind of feeling that no one really understands you, no one is genuinely connecting with you, they are only speaking AT you.

Good people of r/asktrp where do you go to find NO BS males who are strong willed and looking to go against the mindless ambling of most beta males?
