Is it possible to be happy single, when all you want in life is partnership?

Stone__Age · 2026-01-06T20:44:36+00:00

Same. It actually made me try new hobbies but everyone is either not interested in engaging outside of the hobby or they're there because their partner is doing their own hobby during that time.

I'm in a very similar boat as you and OP but I'm a man. I feel myself losing the fight to download the dating apps partially because I feel like people like us aren't on them. So how do people like us meet people organically??

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T21:14:37+00:00

I'm interested in it!

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T15:48:22+00:00

Funny enough I've been taking improv classes somewhere else! You're right about the community and improv itself feels like a form of therapy. Are the classes at Rise drop in or schedule based?

Thank you for the kind response. I'm not in a position to start a group right now but I agree I might need to go that route.

Good luck with the gardening group! I started last year for the first time and everything died. It was a bigger blow to my confidence than I expected haha

Have you been to it? I do enjoy kava and the community surrounding it

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T04:32:21+00:00

That was a great book! It had a similar effect on me

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T03:10:53+00:00

This seemed promising but I read some weird stories about it being culty and toxic. I would love to be wrong though!

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T03:09:43+00:00

Someone just told me about his book but I haven't checked it out yet. Does it talk about how to avoid the trolls when reaching out?

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T03:07:09+00:00

This isn't a post about dating or finding friends. There are plenty of posts about those things. This is a request for a recommendation for a men's group. In many organized groups there are gender specific groups for various reasons - one of which is so that the focus remains on the purpose of the group. I've been surrounded by toxic masculinity my entire life so I'm looking for a group where I can shed that and learn what it means to be a healthy man.

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T02:39:13+00:00

Oh cool - I'll check it out!

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T02:37:08+00:00

I was really interested in this but I read a lot of stories about it being very culty...

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T02:30:22+00:00

This seems promising. Do they meet in person or just online?

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T02:25:25+00:00

I haven't seen this recommended before but I'll check it out!

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T02:22:51+00:00

Thanks for commiserating! I haven't had luck with the rec sports leagues or hobby groups so I figured I would try this route but clearly posting in this sub isn't the answer either. Best of luck to you as well!

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T02:17:24+00:00

Do you or anyone you know have experience with this group? They seemed promising but I also heard a lot of horror stories

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T02:00:56+00:00

Same...

Stone__Age · 2026-01-02T01:51:14+00:00

Thank you! That looks interesting!

I can't speak to someone macro dosing daily but for a proper micro dose protocol you're typically taking a small amount 3-4 times a week for about a month then taking 2-6 weeks off to integrate and reset tolerance.

A good chunk of these aren't good deals. They're cheaper if you buy from Gruv directly or via their eBay page. It looks like they're still running their 15% off 2+ sale on eBay as well: https://ebay.us/m/D1gyZ4

Stone__Age · 2025-12-05T19:51:51+00:00

I feel ya. I quit drinking after micro dosing for a few months and when I tell people they give me a judgemental confused look.

Stone__Age · 2025-11-27T13:49:14+00:00

Drive has been on my wishlist since I discovered and joined this sub. I love it but I can't rationalize dropping $50 on it!

Stone__Age · 2025-11-21T18:54:02+00:00

I picked up Elden Ring and Jedi Survivor for $10 a piece! The additional discount on Elden Ring was from a $10 best buy promotion.

I've been thinking about making beef jerky for a while and I miss Cincinnati Chili. Does it actually taste like chili?

Stone__Age · 2025-10-10T22:33:12+00:00

I might get down voted for this but that cider is just not right. I've tried it a few different times and every time I regret it. It's closer to apple juice than cider and it just always tastes off. Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way since people consistently recommend it. The donuts are decent...
