No homo. How to make guy friends in new town?

Been living in Oregon for a year now, and this quarantine makes it real hard to meet anyone. Of course, making guy friends is extra hard because we're all no homo.

How the fuk do I make guy friends? I've started pickup soccer games and chatted with a few guys there a little. Should I take up crossfit? One guy I made friends with at the gym is super dull, so I don't really like hanging out with him much. Maybe make more gym friends once I start going back?

Change your dating app settings to search for men then put in the description - “not gay just new to town and looking to meet a few bros to chill with”

I've considered, but don't really want to drink that often, plus I feel like young guys don't go just hangout at bars alone unless they've got some issues.

Nobody becomes a regular at a bar without issues.

And if you don't have any friends, you clearly have an issue.

Pretty easy if you're not autistic.

Do activities other men enjoy doing and over time you'll meet the right guy. You guys can both suck each other off later with the possibility of anal.

What made you move? How’s the experience been so far? How long you staying? I’m trying to convince the wife to move to Austria.


As for op
Join clubs, groups, etc. like to hike or bike ride, look for a group or club. Want to learn Jiu jitsu, join a gym (Jiu jitsu is the goat for making friends).

yeah, I'm thinking about group-based activities. Everywhere else I've moved I've made friends by playing soccer, but soccer isn't as big here. Didn't think that through very well lol.

Nobody’s your friend dude. Other guys will cockblock you , put you down and trash talk you just for a sniff.

Ride solo.

Back when men where men they had a little more integrity and used to help each other out. Not the case anymore.

What part of Oregon? If you're near portland, just identify as an it, dye 1/2 your hair purple, wear some shirt showing you hate trump, and insert an anal plug as well as wear a mask 24/7 and you'll find some friends.
Or you could meet up with wincel and befriend him

Got into a GOAT grad school here, so far it’s been pretty great actually. I speak German because I was raised German. Most likely will be here for 2-3 years. Still taking care of small things got a bank account and gym membership this week, still need to get a new SIM card and a few other things

Weather is great and the Covid situation (at least in this small city ~300000) is chill af

Mirin. I’m gonna enroll in German courses at a local community college out here, the wife used to be fluent but “use it or lose it” sort of a thing. We just have to figure out employment. Repped and hope you share stories of your experience
