A common way of bashing women is to make male friendship sound like this super magical thing while simultaneously claiming that women make shitty friends to each other. I am here to show you that your assumptions are wrong: Men actually make shitty friends to each other and usually rely on women for any sort of intimacy or emotional support.
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00292464
Findings from this study support American research suggesting that women are more intimate and emotional in their same-sex friendships than men, and tend to place a higher value on these friendships than men do.
Men, in contrast to women, derived emotional support and therapeutic value more from their opposite-sex relationships than their same-sex friendships. Finally, more men than women stated they would not cancel an engagement with an opposite-sex friend in order to go out with a same-sex friend.

It also found that men are more likely to rely on their partner for support, while their female counterparts were more willing to talk to family and friends.
And THIS is the real reason why so many men are devastated by divorce. It is not about money. It is actually the women who have more to lose by divorcing when it comes to finances. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5992251/
Third, the key domain in which large and persistent gender differences emerged were women’s disproportionate losses in household income and associated increases in their risk of poverty and single parenting. Taken together, these findings suggest that men’s disproportionate strain of divorce is transient, whereas women’s is chronic.
The real reason men are devastated by divorce is that they lose all emotional and social connections. You see, husbands like to fully rely on their wives when it comes to emotional support. They also fully rely on their wives to maintain any social relationships. I see it all the time. Many men only socialize to find a woman and then give up when they get married to become uber introverts that have to be dragged around by their wives to do some basic socializing.
Men have no real friends and it's every man for himself. Women's friendships are actually much more intimate.
