Men, especially heterosexual men, tend to have very few deep, emotional connections, and of the ones they do have, very few of them are with other men. And that’s a serious problem.

Men are dealing with an epidemic of loneliness and isolation and it's literally killing us. But despite the damage that loneliness can cause, men have a hard time finding and fostering emotionally close and intimate relationships. Why are male friendships so shallow and transitory and what can we do to build the relationships we need? 

//Show Highlights://

▶︎ How loneliness is literally hurting men 
▶︎ Why men have a harder time building closer, stronger social ties than women
▶︎ How society teaches men to avoid close friendships with other men
▶︎ Why toxic masculinity prevents men from from building the relationships we want
▶︎ How the ways men try to bond actually makes it harder to actually become close with their friends

... and so much more.
