How to meet guys (for my husband)?
My husband moved to the Chicago area to be with me and hasn't really met many guys to hang out with. Husbands of my friends aren't necessarily into the same things as he is. He's still driving hours to fish with his old buddy from Indiana, and has no good buddies to fly his RC planes with. I feel bad leaving him for a ladies night out. Any ideas how I can help him meet some man friends around the area?
Re: How to meet guys (for my husband)?
Is he athletic? Maybe he could join a city softball league or something. Those are usually good for making friends..... If he's not so athletic, a bowling league could be fun. There are curling clubs around the North Side (if you don't know what curling is... Google it.)
If he's into music you could find a choir or musical group he could join. I know from experience musical groups produce lots of friends
Maybe a manly book club? I'm sure there's something like that around here (besides the Gay Men's one........)
Hope that helps!

Ditto joining some sort of competitive (athletic or non athletic) club. My husband didn't have any friends here when we first moved to Chi, and he joined a dart league. He's made most of his current friends through that, and they've all become great friends.
Also, I know this sounds lame but work is a great place to meet friends too. You guys could have a bbq or something and encourage him to invite over some people from work, if there's anyone there he thinks he would like to hang out with.
Are you involved in a church? My husband joined the mens group at church and now he's hardly home! lol
Meetup.com is great. We have found some great people that share our interests on there.
