      I was a firm believer that all the really close personal guy friends I’d ever had, I made in high school or before. The idea that as an adult male that I could expect to make another real bond with anyone new, outside of this circle of old friends, was impossible. Until it did. In my mid to early 30s, my dept. merged with his. We had talked a few times while making fun of clueless users forgetting their passwords, so I already knew we would get along as coworkers. He was a groomsman at my wedding many years later.

      I know it can seem insurmountable to find meaningful male friendships in mid-upper 20s and 30s, but it does happen. I’m rooting for you friend. Take care of yourself.

    Assuming we had friends in the first place - something I haven’t had for about 25-odd years now…

      Go find a discord server related to something you like

      Just chat with people, text or voice

      If you are open and real I’m sure you could make a friend :3

    Most of my friends are women, as I only have two close male buddies and a little brother I love. I’m a sentimental guy who likes to yap and preach, and my friends are also sentimental and often want advice, everybody wins! 😅

    Deep relationships happen over years of continued interaction irl

    Or sometimes instantly over the internet

    It’s not gay to tell your friends you love them!

    Hug your bros <3
