1. A yoga studio. I practice practically every day and have made many good friends. We started an informal "outnumbered yoga males club" that meets for tacos and ice cream every other weekend or so.
2. The local summer garden/community theater. I help build sets and paint. Occasionally, I run the spotlights.
3. Your neighborhood's local botanical club. It's just me (a middle-aged man) and a bunch of old ladies who run something called "weed warriors" where we go to local parks and beaches and eradicate invasive species with great prejudice.
"But my neighborhood doesn't have a botanica..." I'm willing to bet it does, you just don't know about it.
4. The local volunteer fire department. I am a volunteer EMT and Firefighter who got started when I fell and injured my back and my barber showed up on the ambulance. I rehabbed (hence, the yoga) and got into shape and signed up. EMT-B is easy to attain and Firefighter-I is even easier. I do one shift per week on average, usually Saturday nights and gained an instant group of people from which to make friends.
