Men’s Mental Health Challenge

[Speaks]

Good thread - will add that one thing I find helpful is a brutally hard workout first thing in the morning, makes everything else I have to face in the day easier.

Voluntary adversity solves a lot of problems.

I’m not in a similar situation but I am moving into my own place alone after living with someone for 15 years. I’m in town for now so friends are close unlike for you. Do you have a dog? Look into dating or talking to women just for companionship?

I’ve been given advice for getting a dog. I love dogs and they’re great company. Big responsibility though to do it right. My concern is when I’m not home and/or go on my out of state hunts. I am blessed that I can physically and financially still do those!!

Dating? Yes I have. Just haven’t found anyone I want to “lock it down with”. Women companionship? Yes. Tried that. What I’ve found both times is the gal (s) start out as wanting to be my buddy then next thing is they want more. Odd as it sounds I find that a breech of trust so I shut down and lose someone I thought was my friend. Both times these women meant more to me as friends vs a romantic relationship and I told them up front that’s what I was interested in. And…. Have you tried finding a nice, sane woman in today’s society? Mid sixties age range? Ain’t so easy. Dead serious.

But, I push on. I will not give up.

Happy new year to all.
