Why
Millions of boys and men throughout the world want stronger friendships in their lives, but as a result of popular culture's perception of masculinity, love and connection between men, many live without such friendships. Some guys have given up on close friendships, some have settled for mediocre friendships, and some have told themselves that they don't need close friends at all. The lack of these vital relationships in a man's life has serious effects on his lifetime, physical and mental health, family, marriage and professional life.
