Awesome and so time relevant. Male thinking needs to change! Time was when men were taught not to get emotional, share their true feelings. Talk of sports and business. Hopefully, being more open about the struggles of males will allow for a time for this to change. Yes, it’s okay for men to cry, and it’s good for dads to lead the way. I believe the first step is to recognize that male friendships are inportant to living a happier life. And, then, to work on making that thought a reality. It’s a bit time consuming, but the rewards are tenfold. As many a woman would say, as this one would, my good friends are like family! ❤️Hugs and love! Z
I read this piece and found it interesting and thought-provoking. Many of the same aspects are true of female friendships, especially with other women. What is that usually more natural? Myron had a large group of friends acquired from various stages and interests of his life. People were not as mobile then. Groups were more cohesive. People tended to routinely do more with others. Free time was not spent on electronic devices. And, there had not been a pandemic in their lifetimes. My takeaway is that maintaining relationships takes commitment and effort. The value end result is fulfilling.

Always enjoy your wisdom.
Yeah, I think that element has really shifted the dynamic of friendship. Certainly technological innovation has offered a lot but there are drawbacks.
Always appreciate you reading and commenting!
