Where do we men hide when we want to get away from women for a few hours or a day?

Not sure I understand what you're asking Justin. Do you want to get away from ALL women? Particular women? Do you want to be alone or with spend time with just members of your own sex?

Anywhere you want to! And...you don't need to "hide". You learn to set healthy boundaries and give yourself space, time away from women.

I think this is Justin's attempt to prove a theory. The less you try to meet or connect with women the more the seem to come to you.

Uh, I mean I want to get away from women for a few hours or a day. Guys can be around, but not women.

The shooting range, a boat fishing at a lake or river, the airport to sit around and tell lies about flying, take up R/C model airplane flying..

Shot, I thought I was being funny.
I had thought of Turkish Bath houses and tough-guy gyms, but somehow, I settled on the gay bar.
After all, it's unlikely you'll get many woment there!

Are women bothering you in some way? (I know the women here are...but we're special!) Do you not have "space" without women in your home, work, or activities? Are you constantly surrounded by females?
Or were you looking for more specific answers like Pariah's?

I do feel kind of sorry for men. They don't have any clubs any more. I do think men and women need safe havens. We women have a lot, including the mall, beauty parlors, exercise clubs, and so on. What have men got? Nothing. Only a few super-testosterone activities are still the male inner sanctum.

Every day my brother in law goes and flys his airplane or just hangs out with the other guys at the airport.
Every Sunday after church we either fly somewhere or go shooting.
Friday nights are family nights so we all go out together and eat.

Pariah, I wouldn't suggest the airport or flying RC planes. I have my private pilot's license and I flew a radio-controlled Fokker D7 biplane with my Dad before I graduated to real aircraft. He's not "safe" there... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

JE, How about just hiding in a stall in the men's room? Or the "NO GIRLS ALLOWED" special - build yourself a treehouse and just pull the ladder up? And if they persist, just pelt them with water balloons.

[color:"purple"]JE,
Someone used to recommend to me that I could go to a cloister where these nuns had taken a vow of silence. It was supposed to be a good place to go to meditate and have peace and quiet.
I could imagine that there might be something similar for guys like a monastary that lets in guests??
I'm not joking with you - this is said in all seriousness.
You did not, however give us enough information to be able to think of a retreat that would align with your desires: such as all male companionship, no female chattering but guys can talk, guys can't talk, activities, no activities, etc.
