Why are you asking so many questions? Are you a cop?
I'm asking the questions here.
What is this guy, a cop?
Answers: We talked about this hobby; kids are irrelevant to our friendship unless they a) join us, or b) cause scheduling conflicts; we're collecting things related to this hobby; and I honestly don't care about his volunteer interests. Our friendship begins and ends with our mutual hobby.
To be clear, I'm not joking. That's essentially what many male friendships are like. If I find out they're a Nazi or something, the friendship is over, but most other things are irrelevant.

Most people are not their job.
I understand. But the type of job you have, and the requirements to get it, can often give people a general idea of what type of person you are. It's also an indication of your socio-economic position, which also lends some insight.
