Males dont have as many friends as Females and find it hard to keep them. This causes mental health issues.

I think men are designed to spend more time alone or in small groups. Women on the other hand thrive in larger communities as it's the hierarchy they spend most their time climbing.

Women prefer sitting in front of people, a group. Men stand beside the person they are talking to, and looking outwards.

"What’s more, over half of the men surveyed reported having two or less friends they would discuss “a serious topic” with, and 19 per cent of men over 55 said they lacked a close friend — period. "

I feel this is obvious but, who needs more than two friends to discuss a serious issue? I feel this study is comparing men against women in a way that doesn't make sense.

Would you not be better off comparing men to other men at different time periods?

Once you try to see who is there for you and who isn’t, you will understand that no one cares about you.

That’s when you understand this is all bollocks. Live for you and let people go out of your life as soon as they are out of your view.

With no expectations, no risk to wake up one day and be depressed because no one think about you.

Be your one and only friend. Else, take a dog.

Frequently that's because their female partners systematically isolate men from their friends and families. It's the most common form of domestic violence in our community.

Just some anecdotal advice from me. Being an only child, I used to tie my happiness to my interactions with friends, who were friends only by association through work/university etc., but you soon come to realise that these utterly superficial relationships were as short lived as a pint of beer.

I’m now learning (albeit slowly) that true happiness lies in being happy in yourself-and that ‘friends’ are only barriers to your achieving this, as you slowly find yourself living their lives and not your own.

While going out alone, travelling alone and eating out alone, you soon start to realise what you’ve been missing out on, and how many real connections you can make with mere strangers.

Most importantly though, you learn to be content in your own skin and that life is often better for it.

I guarantee that a big part of this is that when people enter relationships, women tend to go much, much farther than men in demanding that the they and the relationship be the most important thing in their partner's life. Whenever there are threads that talk about the red flags that people should watch for in relationships, one thing that always gets brought up is when your partner tries to isolate you from your friends and family. Women engage in that kind of behavior so much more than men its not even funny, yet society only views it as a problem when men do it.

Because females don't have "friends" they have associates that they call friends. The bitch in the article is fucking lying her teeth.

How do I know? Because on average look at the amount of gossiping, backstabbing, betrayal. and drama that happens with females and their so-called "friends". Friends don't do that shit, associates do.

Important to note that the article low-key blames "Toxic Masculinity" for everything. They just call it "masculine socialization" instead so all the retards and disingenuous fucks can state:

"Huurrr Durrr., DeeRE No BiaS Here. DEy Didn even use noT 1 FemInisT buzz WoRd!"

Interesting, unlike most things in this sub, this is one issue that we can do something about without the approval of anyone but ourselves.
