Active leisure is far better than sitting in front of the computer all the time. I think it is instructive that you went out with your husband…a lot of people don’t have anybody to go out with and that’s a shame.

Which quite naturally flows into “how to make friends”.
This is something I personally find excruciatingly difficult and I know many others that have similar problems. I really believe men and women are gender unique in this. For example, my wife has a lot of friends and they are mostly close & reliable. I, on the other hand, might send an email and never get a response from my buddies. I have many acquaintances that I haven’t heard a peep out of in years. I think for many guys, you need to have an activity that bonds you.

I’d be very interested in learning how men and women compare in friendship making. “Other People Matter” C.P. from the Primer in PP.
