Some call it a friendship recession: a time when close male friendships sink to their lowest. Here’s how friendships for straight men fall to the wayside – and what could bring them together
To counterbalance the “woe is me” (which is a perfectly valid life experience, and I do not mean to diminish it). I am posting so that people with no life experience do not think the “woe is me” is the only experience.
Decent adult straight men exist. We are just busy with family, careers and volunteering. One will not meet us in a bar as we, collectively, don’t have time for that. Volunteer for a cause one supports, and one will meet people one likes more.
As an aside, do men have the same issues as women in meeting “good” men? And is our collective taste in men rubbish? Is it something “we” are all watching on TV?
Edit: Really great article by the way. It is long with lots of examples and personal stories from men around the USA.
