A lot of men find a hobby to get involved in so they are doing "something" they can use as an icebreaker when it comes to having discussions. It also gives them something that they can look at rather than looking at the person they are talking to.

I think it was in one of your threads that I posted a youtube video of two boy toddlers who were up all night. If you sit and really look at that video what those little boys are doing is they are interacting with each other in an activity, in that video what they kept doing is piling up pillows. That is where most socializing begins in playing like that.

One of the activities a lot of businessmen engage in is golf. This game of golf gives them something to "play" together while they slowly work on having a discussion at the same time.

For a while there was also the use of having long business lunches and "drinking", that drinking was done (and this goes way back through human history too) is engaged in to help reduce the inhibitions and social stress, by drinking alcohol. Actually, the problem with alcohol that a lot of people develop was due to their struggle when it came to relaxing so they could socialize.

When you went to that wedding, one thing you probably did not notice is that a lot of the people there probably consumed some alcohol to help them relax.

It's important that you understand that a lot of people have a degree of social anxiety.
