Is the Cure to Male Loneliness Out on the Pickleball Court?
- mrlinx 3y agoFunny enough, as a man, I find this idea of "play sports with others" as a bonding approach, way too impersonal. I can also find myself being competitive or taking things too professionally, and spent too much time discuss technical aspects and not fostering a more deeper connection with others.
- aamoscodes 3y agoGroup activities like this are great for finding your people. You will likely encounter another competitive, technically minded person and no one will be offended if you split into your own group/universe
- h2odragon 3y agoThe marketing folks at the American Pickleball Association have been spending heavy this year.
- aamoscodes 3y agoI think some of it is organic, but it has been interesting to watch city park organizations build (or convert old tennis courts into) new pickleball facilities. It helps to have something that is both active and easy to start. You don't have to be particularly in shape at the beginning, gear needs are low, can be done year-round.
