He is a married father of two. Surprising.

I left the UK and moved to Asia.

People ask if I miss my English friends, the BBC and other British TV, the football, the food and little things that make Britain 'great'?

No.

I recently moved from a large city to a relatively small one. Living in the small city, it's so much easier for me to have a social life - it's no hassle when friends are only 15 minutes away.

Since living here I have been able to make new guy friends and it has been amazing. It has made me a lot happier as a person. I didn't realise how badly that part of my life had been missing for years.

Would screaming at him that he's toxic because he's a man fix that?

Easily happens.

Interesting that he has a wife and grown kids, and yet feels lonely.

One would expect something else.

In any case, I know many middle aged men with few friends. I think bringing back some mens only spaces could help it.

We all know the vibe within a group of men changes as soon as one possibly available woman walks into the room. Would be nice if we could find a way around that.

Do you think they will let us?

It does get lonely as a mature man, I got myself some house mates because of this.

He's lonely but he's good at marketing, though.

If you go to any ´´make a friend´´ sub or website, you will quickly see the vast majority of users are men as well.
