Survey: Men are less likely than women to receive emotional support from their friends.
Even at work, men fall behind when it comes to friendship.
Palentine’s Day may be a good time to connect face-to-face and build stronger male friendships.
Men may feel more comfortable opening up to women but male friends can provide perspectives and support.
As Brené Brown puts it in an episode of her “Unlocking Us ” podcast with guests Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman , “Meaningful connection requires meaningful work.” And Friedman adds, “Who gets anything nice without working?” If men could celebrate Palentine’s Day with the same gusto women celebrate their female friends on Galentine ’s Day, I’d be willing to bet there wouldn’t be a male friendship recession..
