More than half of all men report feeling unsatisfied with the size of their friend groups.

Also featured in this special broadcast was author Richard Reeves. He stated: “Sometimes, as men, we struggle to say ‘I need you’ ... We (in society) have a really difficult challenge right now to help men find places, spaces, and ways to be with other men and to sustain those male friendships. We do need to be intentional about male friendship, and intentional about combating against male loneliness and we have to create the spaces... because they are not going to create themselves.”
