Where can guys meet and interact with other guys in or around Columbia, South Carolina? I'm married with daughters and my job keeps me around mostly women and children (elementary school teacher) - so I need a way to let loose with men. The problem is, I'm not a sporty guy, but more of an intellectual. A group of guys to play a card game like spades would be great - or a hiking group. I enjoy plants (bonsai, Ikebana, and terrariums).
