Do other dad’s have minimal friends and just wanna chill

r/

M34 – I’ve got kids(daughters), wife ect and friends have moved away or changed. I’m now spending all my time working and with family and don’t really hang out with mates. My wife seems to be much the same but has heaps of family (I don’t) and wants to hang out with them mostly. I dread the dead conversations and older people shit jokes.
I feel like I should join a group or club and make some friends. Is there a group for dads that like to do fun stuff but abuse the fun stuff. I also like being fit and looking after myself. I’m not sure what to do and I’m pretty high.
Thanks in advance.

    It took me 8 years to make a total of 4 close friends and one of them isn’t close anymore due to being a douche to a few people while playing tabletop games. I would like to find more, but it is very hard if you don’t go to a lot of places or live in a rural area where anything or anyone is at least a 30 to 45 minute drive away.

    I made friends by starting to play Warhammer and going to a local shop. Now a few of us get together at each others houses every other Sunday and play a game or just hang out.

    I feel like you have to actually get out and active in something you enjoy and hope to meet some like minded individuals.

    Do you want Dad friends to talk dad stuff or friends that you can have as non family space.

    Either way follow one of your interests and find people through that.
