I mean yeah, that could contribute to why there are a lot of men who aren’t comfortable being single

Maybe some, I have plenty of meaningful friendships and supportive friends both men and women. Personally though I’ve found it hard to talk to new people these days that my friends don’t already know, especially women even when the interest has no romantic intent/attraction

That is a portion yes

Yeah, I sense most other guys were raised by parents who made them into lone standing towers. Then they only seek support and all those things that are missing in them from a girlfriend and turn resentful when she can't fill the roles of a dozen people who they should have in their life to rely on. As men, we have duties to each other. It's best for everyone not to forget it.

i think that's a big part of it. there's plenty of other factors too

I got supportive and meaningful friendships it stems more from to be considered a real man you have to do/be xyz

Honestly i think its not the cause of it i actually think its how our culture has made it taboo for men to be open in general. having good friends or good family doesnt make it easier in a lot of cases

I’ve been saying this.

There’s multiple causes there’s no one cause. But yes this is one. I only have one homie who I know for a fact would take a bullet for me and I would take a bullet for him. But I’ve learned a lot of people are fake they say they will be there for you but won’t be. I just had someone I thought was a friend make fun of me after I shared some fucked shit that happened to me
