Hi everyone!

I recently moved to La Crosse and I don't know anyone here yet. I'd really like to get out more and start meeting people.

I love hiking, so I was wondering if there are any hiking groups, meetups, or places where I could join others for a hike.

I know a lot of people have been in the same situation based on what I've seen in this subreddit, so I figured I'd ask.

Anyway, good luck to everyone else who's new here, and I just wanted to say I'm really enjoying La Crosse so far. It feels like such a welcoming town.

I'm not a student.

Hey everyone,

I recently moved to the La Crosse area and I'm looking for places to learn or dance salsa.

I'm especially interested in beginner friendly options.

Thanks in advance! 😊

Hi, I recently moved to La Crosse and I'm looking to meet new people. I've been trying to find activities like book clubs, hiking groups, or other social events, but I'm not a student and I work second shift, so finding activities for young non-students during the mornings has been a bit of a challenge.

If anyone knows of any groups, clubs, organizations, or has any recommendations, I'd really appreciate it. I'm open to pretty much anything.

Thanks!

Hello, I’m looking for a place (preferably a studio) to move. I’m looking for something affordable, my maximum budget is $1,000/m, and most importantly safe. Any recommendations on where to look, and more importantly, any areas I should completely avoid?

Hello, there’s something I don’t understand about the manosphere and I’d like those of you who are part of it to explain it to me. I’m doing a research project as practice for a journalism course, and I’m focusing it on the manosphere, and there are things I don’t understand.

Basically, the foundation of everything is that women are hypergamous, and due to social media, dating apps, and the flood of stimuli and access to men with more money, better looks, taller height, and fame… what are stereotypically known as “alphas.”

Since women are hypergamous, they will only go for them, and then they become incapable of desiring or feeling attracted to someone “normal,” meaning an average man.

Under this premise, the only options are:

1. Improve yourself to become an “alpha.”
2. Be part of a “boycott” and try to create a movement where men go on a kind of “strike” and refuse to date women.

Keep in mind I don’t know much, but this is what I understand so far.

I would also like to ask: why do they think this way? Do people who think like this actually have real-life experiences that confirm it? In my case, I feel it’s the opposite— with so many options, it seems like the best time to meet someone.

I feel that a person who works on their personality, has basic hygiene, knows how to dress, and is in relatively good shape shouldn’t have any problem.

Which seems to be what the manosphere originally focused on when it started with PUA (which I don’t have much negative to say about).

Again, I just want to ask if I’m understanding it correctly and if you can argue your point of view, because it seems like a very large movement and I’m interested.

The report will never be published; it’s just for a journalism course assignment, so don’t be afraid to share your opinion.
