Has anyone in their 30s met a partner through hobby groups?

[HeartbreakingCat]

Any time I read a thread about dating the general consensus is to meet a man in real life and to put yourself out there and go to hobby clubs/groups to meet a man. But has anyone actually met a man at a hobby group/ hobby club? I keep being told to join clubs to meet men instead of online dating but who has actually met their partner this way? I don’t think many men in their 30s join clubs but maybe im wrong. If they do then it’s probably sports related? And im not sporty or interested in sports (that also includes walking and hiking) so what clubs / hobbies do women in their 30s join to find a partner? The type of things im interested in is probably not going to attracted the type of men im interested in, if that makes sense! And I also don’t want to join something im not interested in in the hope of meeting a man (if a man did this to meet women he'd be considered a creep) Would be nice to know how many people in their 30s have actually met a partner at a hobby group?

My DH has played in the same tennis club for decades. I always imagine that if something happened to me, he'd easily find a new woman at the club. He's always telling me where X or Y woman (who I have never met) went on holiday or the issues her teens have. He also talks to people at the gym. (He talks to men too, I don't suspect him of trying to cheat!)

Walking groups are a good way to meet people, so it's a pity you don't like walking (I can't fathom why someone wouldn't....). You get a mix of people, you don't need to keep talking to the same person all the time and its easier to talk side by side than face to face. My best friend met her DH through a walking group - she was late 20s, he early 30s. Another met hers at wine-tasting.

I met a long term friend through a language class - there were men that attended, though I already knew my DH to be by then.

I think the point isn't necessarily how interested you are in the activity (though it helps) but that you keep going which enables you to get to know people over time - focus on women as well as men as it will broaden your social circle.
