HERE'S WHY EXPERTS SAY MEN NEED MORE FRIENDS IN THEIR LIVES — AND HOW THEY CAN
MAKE THEM


AMERICAN MEN ARE IN A FRIENDSHIP CRISIS — BUT THERE ARE EASY WAYS TO BUILD
BETTER BONDS

At a midtown Japanese restaurant the other evening, I found myself seated near a
party of four men in their thirties, doing just what groups typically do in
restaurants — ordering large platters of appetizers and rounds of beer. It
seemed like a normal night out for a quartet of buddies. What was unusual about
it was that they didn't seem to be having any fun at all. As I leaned a shoulder
in their direction to eavesdrop a little on their banter, the explanation became
clear. They were just gathered for an after-hours work meeting. They weren't
really friends at all. Maybe every man at that table had a rich and fulfilling
social life outside of their corporate one. Yet I believe their gathering had
caught my attention because it had just seemed so strikingly lonely.

Isolation is a public health crisis that affects everyone. In May, the U.S.
Surgeon General released a report on the "epidemic of loneliness and isolation
in the United States," noting that "Even before the onset of the Covid-19
pandemic, approximately half of U.S. adults reported experiencing measurable
levels of loneliness." Yet men seem to be uniquely vulnerable.

"Fifteen percent of men have no close friendships at all."

In 2021, findings from the Survey Center on American Life put the problem into
stark context. "Thirty years ago, a majority of men (55 percent) reported having
at least six close friends," the report revealed. "Today, that number has been
cut in half. Slightly more than one in four (27 percent) men have six or more
close friends today. Fifteen percent of men have no close friendships at all,
a fivefold increase since 1990." Similarly, a 2016 U.K. survey by the men's
health foundation Movember found that "One in ten men couldn't recall the last
time they made contact with their friends."

The male "friendship recession," as the Center refers to it, can have serious
implications. Sustained loneliness is a contributing risk factor for heart
disease, stroke and dementia. The Surgeon General reports, "Lacking social
connection increases risk of premature death by more than 60%." And in a 2021
report on men's mental health, the American Journal of Men's Health states that
"The suicide mortality rate of men is nearly four times the rate of women." For
men, making and keeping friends might literally save their lives.

American boys and men are suffering — and our culture doesn't know how to talk
about it

Part of this friendship deficit problem is that we don't prime men adequately
for friendship when they're still boys. Writing in the Journal of Research on
Adolescence a decade ago, New York University professor Niobe Way found that
"While boys often had intimate male friendships during early and middle
adolescence, they typically lost such friendships by late adolescence, even
though they continued to want them." 

"Boys have these really close, intimate, friendships. They love being together,"
Kevin Roy, Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Family Science at the
University of Maryland College Park School of Public Health tells me. "Then
about the age of 13, we implicitly and explicitly tell a lot of young men that's
not cool. You should be a lone wolf, should be able to stand in your own." He
adds, "I think that just comes out of all the messages they get from all of us,
not just media, but families and communities."

What follows feels painfully inevitable. "I don't think that boys young men
develop the relationship skills, the muscles to have that kind of sharing go on
later in life," Roy says. "So they don't know how to share their grief, to deal
with loss. They keep it inside. Ultimately you end up with a desperate need to
process a lot of stuff, and I think the consequences of that long term are
depression, isolation, feeling sad." 

"You end up with a desperate need to process a lot of stuff."

And sadness, for a lot of men, often looks like just one thing. "I ask all my
undergrads the same question the first day of class," Roy says. "What emotions
can men express? Everyone says one emotion, and it's anger. That's what we
expect. That's what men think they do. Even if men feel sadness and frustration,
they express it as anger, or people perceive it as anger."

Christine Yu Moutier, M.D., Chief Medical Officer for the American Foundation
for Suicide Prevention, echoes Roy's observation. "Anger is a vastly
misunderstood warning sign," she says, "because it looks aggressive. But
oftentimes, when a man is struggling, that has become the socially acceptable
way to express distress." She says that breaking those one-note patterns and
expectations can be "something as basic as getting beyond our own unconscious
bias about gender, and really helping people to understand that men, like all
humans, have a full range of emotions and sensitivities. We just need to start
assuming that that's fair for everybody."

Steve Siple, a previous board chair for AFSP, knows personally the ways in which
mental health issues manifest differently in men — as well as the power of
having friends in your corner. After losing his father to suicide and becoming a
volunteer leader for AFSP, he says that "Despite the fact that I have been for
the most part successfully coping with my mental health challenges for several
years through ongoing therapy and other means, it took the external observation
by a friend with unique background and experience to recognize my struggle at a
critical time."

He acknowledges that now as he and his wife transition to becoming empty
nesters, "Maintaining a healthy male friend group (or ideally multiple ones) is
critical for my mental health," adding, "but it is not always easy to establish
or maintain these connections."

Fortunately, "not easy" is nowhere near the same as "impossible," and dormant
friend-building muscles can be built up. It's just about starting small, and
remembering that friendship is actually supposed to be fun. 

Just as social isolation can create a snowball effect of mental and physical
health problems, the camaraderie of fandom can have a powerful benefit

Siple says, "Many men (myself included) struggle with being proactive in our
male relationships. It is important for men to explore any and every outlet to
make and maintain these connections. Formality isn't necessary. Whether it's a
running group, trivia team, Bible study, or whatever, I believe this social
connectivity is an incredibly important aspect of our mental health."

Another path to creating or strengthening friendships is in the form of a
unifying love of a favorite team. Writer Ben Valenta, coauthor (with David
Sikorjak) of 2022's infectiously persuasive "Fans Have More Friends,"
acknowledges that we are living through "an era of rising loneliness, and this
predates the pandemic." But, he says, "Alongside that, there are mechanisms that
create opportunities for connection and interaction. That's what we're arguing
for with sports."

In researching for the book, Valenta says that he and Sikorjak found that "The
more engaged you are as a fan, the more friends you will have. That's true, no
matter the demographic in question, no matter the gender, ethnicity, age. Fandom
creates social connection, and it results in a more active vibrant social
network. You will have more friends if you are an engaged sports fan. And," he
says, "that's not where it ends. You are also more likely to interact with those
friends more frequently. And you're more likely to value those relationships
more." 

Just as social isolation can create a snowball effect of mental and physical
health problems, the camaraderie of fandom can have a powerful benefit. "It's
not just that fans have more friends," says Valenta. "As a result of that social
interaction, they're happier, they're more satisfied with their life. They are
more grateful, they are less lonely, they experience more belonging, they are
more likely to give to charity, they're more likely to be registered to vote.
There's a whole host of objectively positive metrics that correlate with
increased engaged sports."

Of course, as Valenta points out, everyone can benefit from fandom. But because
generally "Women tend to socialize face to face, and men tend to socialize
shoulder to shoulder," he suggests, "you need an activity, an anchoring
interaction." And having a more expansive group of friends benefits the women in
men's lives, who are often called upon to do the emotional labor in
relationships, serving not just as partners but de facto besties. 

Regular, sustained, often enjoyable interaction can in turn help make it feel
safer for men to then go deeper when needed. "There are ways to facilitate
opening up and disclosing what's going on on the inside," says Dr. Moutier.
"That happens most readily from one man opening up first to share something more
personal that will signal to the other man, this is something we talk about.
Sometimes part of that opening up the dialogue towards deeper discussion, and
potentially even asking about suicidal thoughts, is actually just taking that
risk to open up and disclose what's going on at a deeper level oneself."

The podcast bros profiting off the loneliness epidemic

It can start as simply as sending a funny text, making a plan to meet up at dog
park, or watching the game together. Valetta says, "I'm actually from Denver.
The Nuggets just won their first NBA championship. As I'm watching the game live
when they got title, my phone is just exploding. It's all because of this team
and this game. We tend to read that as not as vital social interaction, but as
something kind of mindless or trivial. And it's not. Those are all meaningful
interactions for keeping me in touch with people that live where I'm from. That
connection, to my family and my friends, is critically important. These little
things that we can do that are so practical, that have such a big impact that
people, are just right under our noses. And if we leaned into it, then the world
would be a better place."
