When I moved back to the D.C. area after several years in New York, I found myself rebuilding a social circle. Friends had moved away or settled into different routines, and finding a few guys to hang out with took more effort than I remembered.

The enthusiasm convinced me there were plenty of other men looking for the same thing: good company, reliable plans, and people they could keep getting to know.
