How do you find a male mentor outside of your family?

9 comments

1. People you encounter.

   If you participate in a church/mosque/synagogue then you may feel comfortable speaking with your deacon/priest/rabbi/imam.

   If you go to AA or NA or other meetings, you may find you can confide in your sponsor or the group facilitator.

   At school, if you spend the time to get to know an instructor/professor/dean, you may be able to rely on them for advice and consultation.

   If you meet someone at work whom you find reliable and level-headed, you might lean on a supervisor, trainer, or co-worker.

   You might meet someone in your local tavern; at your local bowling league; at your Tuesday night D&D/board game club; on the nights you volunteer at the library, or the weekends you volunteer at the animal shelter.

   The family of your friends or dates are eligible, too.

   You can look anywhere. Find someone who seems like they have some sense, at least in one or two areas. Identify someone who doesn’t mind answering questions. Over time, build up from just asking occasional questions to asking more often. Build a relationship – invite them out for coffee, or ask if you can bring pizza & beer, ask for small favors, and return favors.

2. I’m a female, but I want to work on a farm and a man named Kevin with my male mentor

4. You meet people and hope for the best. You cant control who you meet, some are good some are bad. But if you meet no1, thats something you can control

5. Craigslist, Personals section.

6. Show great attitude and work ethic at work or school and in everything you do, ask questions and try to gain knowledge from experienced people. They may see your spark some time and want to help you.

7. Through YouTube interviews of whoever you admire

8. Military, join up.

9. Mentor?

   Men are lucky if they can ask for advice from a few friends with good heads on their shoulders.
