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
You gotta meet some other straight men, maybe younger. But for your own sake don’t settle on this way of thinking.
Unfortunately, for myself, I’ve been burned nearly every time there. Not ruling out the possibility of friendship with cis/het men but, I’ve got too much of my own shit to deal with, making my patience for problematic behavior or taking on someone else’s emotional load pretty low.
This is a really unhealthy worldview to carry around about cis men.
Unfortunately, it is in part a reality. Not that it’s the fault of cis/het men that society has willfully and unconscionably failed them, but, in general, cis/het men need a lot of growth and personal development that they often are not aware of.
