[quote=Anonymous]This was a pretty introspective discussion typical of how we lose friends. Men pivot to the family and in a way that doesn’t easily beget new friends (I’m friendly with my kids other dads but rarely had time to have those long idle hours where friendships bloom, proximity is key you know).

I am good at staying in touch with friends from high school and college, but only see them sporadically — like every few years but getting better now that kids are older and I can maybe go away for a weekend without undue hardship for family.

In articles like this do they mean no local regular male friendships or none at all even long distance?  I can’t image in having lost touch with everyone — but it’s possible because we moved to DC for work and had kids right away so no time to build friendships here.

Also, side note, the bike ride altercation sounds completely out of character, and I wonder if it’s from the podcasts binge? It was crazy based upon the image of what kind of mellow dude the author seemed. [/quote]
