This is embarrassing for me to say as a male whose almost near starting my professional career. I’m a guy who grew up surrounded almost entirely by women. I was raised by women, my closest friends have alwavs been women, and most of my emotional support has come from women. I don’t dislike that, but it means I never really learned how men build friendships with othermen. I’ve always struggled with finding male friends, and honestly, I’m not great at getting my point across in general. I’m not super emotional or Into long, feelings-heavy conversations. Recently I’ve been getting a better feel of my hobbies as for awhile I didn’t have any. I’ve been enjoying a lot of DIY tasks such as landscaping and working with my hands, and it made me realize I’d actually like to have more male friends. g Guys I can do things with, talk to, learn from, or just hang around without it feeling awkward. The closest I ever got was in college when i had one male friend I really connected with when we were roommates, but he moved several states away after graduation. We still talk, and he’s planning on moving closer again, so we’ll link up at some point, For the men here: • How did you build solid friendships as an adult? • What helped you go from casual acquaintances to real connection • And how do you even start when you feel like you’re late to the game Any advice or personal experiences would help a lot! submitted by /u/yelious
