Guideline for Men: How To Meet People
t can be hard to meet others when people are tethered to their devices. Social media does not take the place of personal connections. You might be introverted. Or on your own after divorce or death of a spouse. When suddenly single, you can be at loose ends how to pick up your life without your social director (spouse). Or you may not feel comfortable sharing your fears and concerns with co-workers. etc. It’s easy to feel you are alone and not realize many other men are also going through transitions such as divorce. What is the remedy? Join a men’s group or club.
Ways to connect with others
What sport did you enjoy in the past? Get back into rugby or whatever and have fun while making connections. Sometimes after playing, there is social time at a pub.
MeetUp.com has groups for various interests globally. There are hiking ones, social gatherings, photography, food and movie ones. Also, for specific concerns, like the wonderful divorce one in London. You can make friends with other guys and women.
Volunteering is a way to help out and meet others at the same time. My divorce friend met her second husband at an animal rescue charity.
Check with your local church, synagogue or mosque to see what men’s group is available. For example, Rothley Church Men’s Group in Leicester (RCMG ) has The Men’s Breakfast Club, and various events such as a walk in nature. Their Monday night men’s meetings have lively conversation with guest speakers. Their aim is “to offer the opportunity to all men to meet in fellowship: sharing and learning from life’s experiences….”
Men’s Groups
Groups vary in different ways. Some are social and others more like group therapy. In all, you will meet people and possibly make new friends. The websites show the nuances between them. The rule of confidentiality is common for all. What is said in the room stays in the room. Men’s groups provide a safe space for sharing concerns and problems. They are non-judgmental. You learn from others what has worked and what did not. The men’s groups listed are suggestions to get you started.

Boost Your Confidence With These Moves
One’s confidence level can dip during divorce. We may feel less self-assured or are fixed in one spot, not sure which way to move. Proceedings are stressful and leave us questioning ourselves. There are steps to take which can boost confidence.
Do a self-analysis
In what areas do you feel could use improving? Think about where you excel, such as on the job, connecting with others, etc. Your talents and abilities, may have brought accolades, such as when winning a contest for writing or artwork. A person may have a magnificent voice which is central to their choir. One may be surprised at how many areas of confidence outweigh what scares them. People sometimes focus on the negatives instead of the positives and feel that they lack confidence in general, rather than in a few specific aspects of their lives.
Fix your weaker areas
Learning new skills, is a way to fix the areas which are weak and lacking in confidence. Building confidence is like building up a muscle when lifting weights – it benefits the whole person and not just one part. Take a computer class if feeling wobbly about IT on the job. Some people have stated they feel awkward trying to make small talk. Small talk is a way to connect with others and is important socially as well as in one’s career. Joining groups with a purpose, such as hiking, photography, chess, books etc. makes conversations easier. The trick is to discover a specific step you can take, as people did in this example, to increase your confidence.
Follow dreams and passions
Divorced people have gained confidence doing mountain climbing, running marathons or doing treks. They got out in nature and were surprised at the feats they accomplished. This sense of achievement spilled over into other parts of their lives, boosting confidence. An animal-loving friend opened up a sanctuary. She had been a bit unsure of herself after her divorce from Hell. Running this animal sanctuary pumped up her confidence and she began to explore what else she could do.
