S6E8 - Welcome to the Men‘s Club

As young boys, one could say male friendships tended to come more naturally for us.

But as we’ve grown older, you can argue that men mostly have associations they share a common interest with - replacing interpersonal bonds that arise from a relationship of mutual affection with mostly a system of social hierarchy or activities that don’t require talking or conversation.

Maybe it's because society by default tends to breed men who are meant to be autonomous and emotionally stoic, and so this results in men who see and build friendships through the eyes of “markers of manhood” - like wealth, status, physical prowess, and sexual achievement.

So on this episode, we took a look at two things: 

1. Why it is that men sometimes find it difficult to build friendships
2. How men build friendships amid social hierarchy

Enjoy the listen!
