Where to meet guys without using the internet?

Facthunt

I’m planning on cutting down on my internet usage on my mobile so hence going to delete/avoid some apps for a while! Was even contemplating buying a very basic mobile phone!

Hoping by doing this I can meet someone genuine! At the moment my life consists of Grindr and the Boilerhouse!! Where do I even start??

Facthunt

Guess it’s stay on the apps then!! Lol

I mean I guess the only place you're guaranteed to actually meet gay men without any use of the internet is in a gay bar/gay club. Other than that it's all pure chance.

Well, there are gay social/community groups focused on particular interests — hillwalking, running, various sports, literature, etc. Could be worth participating in some of those.

You want to meet someone genuine but goto the boilerhouse regularly. Doesn't add up. 🤣

I know I know 🙈😭😭😭😂😂

But …. It’s acceptable… right …. RIGHTTTT 😊

@Peregrinus Good idea! Can you steer me to any active groups?

Yeah of course. Going to the Boilerhouse is acceptable. The stories just don't add up

Peregrinus

No, I can't. I have no idea what your interests are. Plus, I'm not gay, so I'm not really well positioned to know what groups are active. But if you go hunting for them online or through gay community networks, you'll find them without too much difficulty.

Music? Sports? Books? Movies? Fine Dining? Socialising?

Give us a few ideas of what exactly you are looking for

You are a tough cookie!! 😜 I think I’m just a bit lost atm. Not depressed or anything like that …. Wandering aimlessly I guess! And the dreary weather probably ain’t helping!

Facthunt

And yes I like music, sport, Parkrun if that counts, drifted away from pub scene a bit tbh, do read but mainly autobiography type books!
