I’ve recently been watching Ted Lasso, and the thing that probably I appreciate the most about the show is the Diamond Dogs. It’s a group of men in the football club who all meet specifically to support each other emotionally, offering advice or just emotional support. I was looking on Lemmy, and couldn’t find any men specific groups that offers the same thing. Do you know of one, or if not, should one be formed? Also, should it be restricted to only male identifying people?
I would be in on this idea, but personally would prefer it be something that was done over Signal or another chat system versus a lemmy with posts that stay up for anyone to come across and see.
Not a support group but you have: group of friends which could be a good thing, or Freemasonry if you need a change in life with a light side of spirituality without being a religion.
I have attended 2 support groups when I was young but it often encouraged bad behaviors because everyone understands you, you don’t get concrete advice from people who have the opposite behavior. You’re not “challenged” if you know what I mean.
This is called “men’s groups” and it’s something you do in person (or sometimes on zoom), not in an online forum.
Just google for men’s groups in your area. Two larger organizations that do this on a larger scale are The Evolving Man and The Mankind Project.
