Mentor's for grown men

[EndwatcherParticipant 81]

So the last thread I posted on consisted of a member talking about being raised by a single mother and had no male role models and mentors.
The same was true with me for the first part, and lead me to start this thread.

How can a grown man go about finding good mentors to learn from. Im talking about from how to grow a beard, to how to clean a dear.

I am a outdoorsy guy myself and have self taught myself the normal basic camping stuff, how to fish and clean them…but I cant even clean a deer for f~~~’s sake!

I talked with one of my neighbors and confessed that I didnt know how to even field dress a deer, and he jokenly made fun of me stating how he will have his daughter teach me, I played it off and joked back and said It was hard for a grown man to admit that….Thinking about it now, it kinda p~~~es me off he shamed me like that. I wouldve immediately felt bad for any man like this and jumped on a teaching opportunity.mentor

So how does we men who grew up with f~~~ed up mommys and no dads find the mentorship we need.
I really have been feeling lately how I missed out on the masculine initiations that a father or Patriarch would have been there for,

I have no great men in my family any longer as they are dead “we went through a 15 year bout of being cursed”

As you alluded to, hunters and fisherman tend to be more manly with quite masculine skillsets. Try joining a hunting or fishing club. Blue collar professions still have “some” manly men as well. Anyways, seems like you are on track and shouldn’t be too worried.

my dad died when i was a kid but he wasn’t an outdoorsy guy anyway. it would have been nice to learn that stuff in boy scouts but we just f~~~ed around.

I bathe in the tears of single moms.
