Ask HN: How do I start a mens social group?
I just finished listening to NPRs Hidden Brain episode on male loneliness[1] and I want to do something about it, both for myself and for other men in my area. I think starting a mens social group in my area is a good place to start.
How do I start this group? How do I find men to join? What sort of things should the group do?

- jimmyvalmer 7y agoI wouldn't worry too much about it. It's NPR's job to make something out of nothing. Also, you're using "astronomical" wrong.

- corecoder 7y agoBut why should lonely men decide to meet other men rather than other people?
