I needed a hobby, and like you, have a kid. Child care is always an issue and I feel guilty leaving my daughter at home with my wife while I go off and have fun, so I found a group of dads who got together regularly and did kid stuff with their kids. Zoo, museum, park, backyard, picnic, lunch at somebody's house, whatever. Over several years I met maybe 20 different guys through this group, a handful of whom are basically my best friends now. To me, hobbies where you constantly buy stuff and make stuff and have projects going... that's loving work, and it stresses me out. I don't want to learn underwater basketweaving, I just want to hang out and bullshit and blow off some stress. I agree with much of what that guy ^^^ said, in that men are basically loners and there's nothing inherently wrong with that. Also, getting out of the house once a month will do wonders for you... not necessarily 3x/weekly meetings or building your own scale model rocketship every day for a year, but just meeting a friend once a month for dinner... I am a better person now.
