- watwut 7y agoI have job and kids. And I am already using my allocated "for me" time for sport. It gives some social contact, but not enough. Social hobbies require significant time spent hanging out, but are not child friendly so they are out. Besides that, walking groups or book reading clubs don't exist here. Photography or creative clubs exist only in form of structured classes, where you pay for two lessons a week. Adults/older people, they mostly come and hurry back home - which is what I would do too I guess anyway. They are not really social places where you come for idle chat and build relationships that survive end of semester. So it does not even matter that none of these activities appeals to me in any way - I could not belong to creative group, because I completely sux at art and find it frustrating.
- prox 7y agoThat makes sense, tbf you do have a family, for a moment there I thought you were alone, alone. Another suggestion (last one ;) if you have a family is board games. You have adult / kid games,lots of banter to be had and can be played with other families for a good time. Also everyone sux at art in the beginning :)
- fenwick67 7y agoI highly recommend DND if you can find a group or feel like starting one. Requires no talent and is basically all structured socialization. You can play with your kids if they're old enough and you want to.
