I have a retired, divorced brother who doesn't have any interests outside of his grandson and visiting family members, even extended ones. And eating out (he eats out for every meal....and talks to strangers for social interaction).
I and others in the family have told him that he needs to find some things that interest him, and make some adult friends (outside of kids in the family and adult family member). He says he has no interests.
What do men do to bring some passion and contentedness to their lives, and meet other men to hang with? He doesn't drink, so bars are out (and I don't think that would be a good idea, anyway).

Thanks. But I was wanting things that men do to meet other men to hang with. He needs friends and activities. In his current state, he would be too intense with a woman. He would focus totally on her and drown her.
I am way too many miles away from retirement, but a hobby is a must. Around where I live many are former soldiers, and they hang around the vfw drinking beer and whipping out their war stories to see whos is bigger. Others buy old automobiles and restore them, or practice carpentry, or even work menial jobs like walmart greeter so they can always meet people.
Myself My newest hobby is welding because I can make cool stuff, but also fixing cars, restoring old computers, fishing etc. For him it does not matter what the hobby is, it is almost guaranteed there is both an online and offline comunity who has the same interests, and these people tend to hang out.
lol... twas just teasing anyhow. I'd like to see what you get him doing. I'm curious myself. You always hear about folks retire then go get a job because they don't know what to do with themselves.

Ohhhh ...Thanks. But I was wanting things that men do to meet other men to hang with.
I hope he finds something to do. How can someone have no interests? He spends hours at family members' houses because he has nothing to do or anywhere to go.

I agree everyone needs hobbies but are you sure he needs new friends? He may just be an introvert. And there is nothing wrong with that. Some people just plain enjoy themselves more alone. Now, i know nothing about him and if he actually feels lonely that is a whole other matter. Just keep in mind there are different personality types.
In Texas, the 2coolfishing site is very active, quite a bit more than fishing.Thanks. But I was wanting things that men do to meet other men to hang with. He needs friends and activities. In his current state, he would be too intense with a woman. He would focus totally on her and drown her.

I suggested bowling, joining a gym, but he wasn't interested. He's not the golfing type. He doesn't drink or gamble (to his credit). I just don't know what men DO to interact w/other men. We women have all sorts of things we do to meet other women, to the extent there are women in the area. Book clubs, gardening, gardening clubs, walking, bowling, pet groups, pet rescue, sewing, quilting, cooking, etc., etc. All chances to do something you like and interact with other women with like interests.
I don't know how one can have no interests either. I never have a problem with boredom.
