I'm trying to remember where it was, but I think there was actually some social research exploring why coupled men in their 30's only make friends through their counterparts connections. If I can remember where it was I will bring it up.
Wasn't really looking for advice, on the hockey thing. Not really interested in joining a team where people feel any level of competition at all, I really just can't stand the way grown men behave in a hockey game. Played pickup with some guys to get a bit of exercise without emotional involvement of a scoreboard. Like a great many things people scattered over the last two years and it just never came back together. Moral of my post, I'm with the OP it's hard out there for a 30 something guy, and the last two years certainly didn't help.
