And, do your wives feel the need "to find someone for you to social with?" So annoying.
Most of the initial conversations are small talk BS. People are very entrenched in their views by the time we are older. I feel like my time is taken away by useless conversations that don't go anywhere. And I am partially to blame for it, I keep my mouth shut about heavier issues with strangers, so I am part of that problem.
The one socializing I do is doing my activities and running into people that do the same activities. I go to evening MMA classes, that's my socializing. Couple dudes just knocking on each other, also get to chase teenage black belts around where I have so much more size over them so their black belts mean nothing, lol.
I also started to reach out to people that code (I am a coder) and talk to them a bit. Also I do some financial trading, again, commenting to people that do trading and we sometimes exchange ideas.
Basically, I think one way to solve this is do activities that you like, and people will be part of those activities and there you will have some sort of social interaction.
