I'm thinking of taking my own advice. I've recommended to others to look for men they can talk to on a regular basis, friends/dudes/bro, but I've fast found myself out of friends due to distance (and time zones). I've thought about picking up old sports, because trying new ones hasn't worked out. I tried jujitsu and was injured on the first day, but I have old soccer and football skills I can dust off.

Athletics were the easiest way I made friends in the past, and now, in my professional life, no one can ever know if I can't stand their guts or nothing will ever get done. So, I have plenty of "friends", but no friends.

Are there better ways to meet male friends than in athletics when I don't have special skills for hobbies?

Thanks.
