Do you have friends?

r/

I mean, friends that you see and talk with at least once a week. Male friends who you talk about your life every week or so. Or guys you go to bars or do trip with.

    I do. Not sure I can say I talk to each of them every week, but at least one per week. Some we go months but it’s no issue. Some it’s a few days or a week or two. One works for me so I can’t avoid him…

    I would not want to see my friends once a week lol.

    Known then since kindergarten. That’s 30 years. But once a week? I’m an introvert. Once a quarter is plenty.

    Nope I lost all my friends because I stood up for myself and wouldnt tolerate constant disrespect and fake friends for the sake of saying I have a social circle.

    BUT I compensate by going in to the office every work day and play social mixed gender sports 4 to 5 days a week so I’m still laughing and chatting with people even if it’s just on a surface level. I also foster animals and talk often with my elderly parents.

    Life is hard for most men in some way form or another you need to adapt and do what you can.

    I do, thanks to motorcycles. I’ve got a nice smallish group of guys that I’ve met over time and we’ve all become pretty solid friends. We go hang out downtown on the weekend evenings, people watching, talking, and just hanging out.

    No. I don’t need friends when I have my wife.

    No, not really. Sounds nice but just didn’t work out. I’m out of drive or passion and have ran out of interests and hobbies. So not a lot of common ground or opportunity to meet people.
