For masculine identifying folks, what were the things you did (or had happen to you) that you feel helped you transition into adulthood and find fulfilling community?

Statistics suggest that a large number of men feel isolated, unvalued by society, and dysfunctional, but it’s not 100%.

    a large number of men feel isolated, unvalued by society, and dysfunctional, but it’s not 100%.

    My solution to this has been to join a hobby that happens to check off a lot of criteria

    • Physical exercise
    • Interesting people
    • Teaching and mentorship, with opportunities on both sides of that fence
    • Camraderie
    • Promotion of positive masculinity

    For me that’s the SCA, a medieval reenactment organization. But my local area has a lot of good people in the organization and unfortunately not every area is filled with great people. Plus, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s fine.
