And this one even has a little homophobia sprinkled in.

Woman bad

"I barely talk to my friends lol."

"There's a male loneliness epidemic."

I have friends that i know for 10+ years and i don't know their real names

I learned someone's name at work yesterday. We've been at the same location for like 8 months... and we have nametags...

Idunno I have quite a few friends where we only interact like every 4-8 months ish. But when we do we talk everyday for a month or two, then go separate ways again. Lifes busy we all know that. Not being in contact does no mean losing a friend.

Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn't mean they're a friend.

True. But I've had some great friendships grow after years of just "hi" in passing. We weren't friends yet, but we were destined to become friends.

SNL did it

The guy didn't explicitly say he married a woman, might still be gay.

Also it's not manly to share your life with a friend apparently.

I'm 40+ and a couple of months ago started therapy. I didn't even knew I needed therapy, went with my wife for couple therapy and it quickly turned into personal therapy.

What I learned after some tests is that I fall into the top 4% of men who are emotional closed off. This is pretty extreme, but maybe the worst part is, I never even knew. This is the stereotype we teach boys, men don't have emotions, they don't talk about emotions, etc.

And we wonder why there's a male loneliness epidemic

Plot twist!

And it’s ultimately insulting to men too, like the idea of being excited to share personal news is somehow anathema to the male experience.

Soon maybe not anymore

Oh, friends assume sexual preference based on other things too. Like the way you eat a hotdog, what kind of car you drive, how quickly you can recognize that the song is by Kyle Minogue, how long you hold a sloppy french kiss with your homies, wether you you sit with your legs crossed or slow down on a yellow light.
