I don't recall being laughed at. However, I have had no success trying to convince friends and acquaintenances to join my league.

My next door neighbor convinced me to join league, but then he quit.

Because of this, my own interest is waning and my average has taken a big hit lately.

It can be extremely demoralizing if your teammates quit on you. I had two fo mine quit on me within 2 weeks. I would quit just yet though. I met two of my really close bowling buddies because those two left. Have some hope my friend, they will find you, not the other way around.

I routinely bowl practice with a group of 8 bowlers. Most of us are in the same league, but do not bowl on the same teams. We prefer it that way.

We have friends throughout the league, not just on one team.

Laughed at for bowling??? Not really. When I mentioned to most of my friends that I'm joining a bowling league again, most think it's pretty cool. Even the co-workers at my summer job think it's cool...most everyone I talk to seems to enjoy bowling, even if they aren't the league bowling type (nothing wrong with that). I had one friend who used to crack jokes when we went bowling, because I brought my own ball...but he would then ask me for tips on how to bowl better.

Besides, I play the tuba (something I'm more likely to mention than bowling when I meet new people), and I have NEVER gotten laughed at for that. I'd expect to get made fun of for that way more than bowling.
