My issue mainly is that people get married and have children and then don't have time anymore.
It always used to be a hassle to get people to even show up and I feel having families won't make that any better.
As a married man with a kid, we may have less time than others, but the loneliness is still there for many men.
You will always be welcome to play some games in my home, if you're ever in the area. I have multiple computers so we can always play lan games.
But what I mentioned is what I hear most of the time when I ask people if they want to hang out. They don't have time, too busy, etc. Maybe it's me and they just don't like me?
Ironically in our group it's the people with kids who have the most availability/flexibility to meet up, but the ones who are single or don't have a family who are always busy.
