Might be a bit challenging to find in Dayton

Actually, though, that reminded me (for no discernable reason) there is a curling club (two, actually) in the general area. I don't expect to do well, but unlike, say, bowling, where other people would do well and get pissed that I suck, I assume most people aren't great, so I'd fit right in.

Any suggestions on social hobbies to take up? - By Damaniac September 14, 2026 at 08:27:26 PM
- Pickleball - Most parks/clubs have kind of a pickup basketball feel. Put your name on a board and you are up next. Easier to meet people than tennis which can also be great. At least half of our/my friends are tennis.Was it any easier in Guam? nm - By sim September 15, 2026 at 08:58:36 AM
