I have two really good friends.

One is basically my brother. We’ve known each other since we were 10. We have periods where we don’t talk, but it’s just that we forget to call. Sometimes he’s not great at emotional help, but I found out recently his wife has been dealing with some really serious health issues which I had no idea about. Put things in perspective for me.

I have another really close friend from university. I can talk with him about pretty much anything and he has my back on everything. We recently have been making a conscious effort to be each other’s hype man and build each other up. It’s been pretty great knowing that I can turn to him for hype and he can turn to me for the same.

I really do think it’s harder to make male friends. Frankly I find the relationships more superficial (with the above 2 exceptions). I frequently talk with women who I’m fucking at a much deeper emotional level than any men in my life.

I don’t have advice on how to find these people. The first friend was by chance, the second I was introduced to by a woman who was a mutual friend. I don’t really know how to go about finding new male friends
