  1. THE ISSUE: Men Are Lonely Not too long ago I would return home from a round of golf with friends, surf session with my brother, or a visit to a bar with a couple of buddies to be greeted by my caring wife where she would immediately ask me… How are they doing? How are their kids? How is their wife? Guess what? I had no idea!! These questions didn’t come up during my hangouts and I didn’t even think to bring them up. So, I chirped back to my wife with some snarky comment along the lines of, “guys don’t talk about that stuff” or “we didn’t get to that” or “we just had fun and mostly talked about sports”. Why did I chirp? Why was I snarky? And why did my wife’s entirely fair question make me feel so frustrated? After some reflecting, I realized that the source of my frustration wasn't my wife, but myself. How could I call myself a friend if I didn’t ask my buddies about their well-being? It’s simple. I fell into the trap that most men fall into… The bottom line is that most men are not willing or comfortable to engage with male friends in deep con- versations. Instead, social norms dictate that conversations between men should focus on surface level topics such as sports, vacations, home improvements, or ego inflating story-telling. Guys simply don’t open up about challenges they are facing with their physical or mental health.

  2. They don’t ask for advice on how to deal with stressful situations at work or with finances. They don’t admit that feelings toward their wife are fizzling or their communication with their kids is fail- ing. Basically, men avoid any topic that would make them appear vulnerable. Oh, and let’s not forget that al- cohol (and sometimes drugs) are often present by habit - initially serving as a social lubricant but regu- larly becoming a distraction. All of these dynamics have led to a loneliness among men - and due to the limited opportunities for social interaction caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, this loneliness has only been exacerbated. If any of this sounds familiar and you are inspired to engage in deeper conversations with friends, the good news is that it's an easy fix.
