I have found that most men crave for deeper friendships. Wishing we had a friend whom we could call our brother. A person who had our back, and be there for us. A man whom knows everything about you, and you with them. Recently on netflix the movie, The Old Guard aired. Many people wrote in regarding the Gay male relationship. They were thrilled to see a gay couple portrayed as super hero’s and were impressed with the deepness in their relationship. Now why can’t friendships with men be this deep? Can you imagine having a friend who says you are like a solid foundation in my life. I know you will always be there for me. You help me out of darkness when I’m down. Your kindness touches me. I know you love me deeply, and we will be friends for the rest of our lives. Can we love a friend beyond measure and reason?

One man when asked if he had friends proclaimed that he did. I asked him if any of these friends knew the difficulty he was having connecting with his spouse? He said no, but that they were still good friends. The next week he questioned how close the friends were. He shared while playing baseball, he slid into a base and injured his leg. His leg was covered in blood. He was obviously injured, and in pain, but he said his friends took one look at him and said, ” come on you wimp get up, lets play ball” He told me the pain was so intense he doubted getting off the field without help. He then understood what I was talking about regarding true friendship. He said, he wished that he had friends that could have recognized he was in pain, and helped him off the field.

Many societal norms keep men from true brotherhood. I once asked several men how long does it take you to call back a friend after he calls you. Most answered two to three days. They admitted it took days because of not wanting look “too needy”. They admitted feeling touched that the friend had reached out.

Counselors who specialize in working with men will report that there is a deep sadness in most men, as a result of not being able to be their true selves, and be close with other men. During men retreats they get in touch with the deep sorrow and start to connect with men, only to return to a society that doesn’t allow deeper connections with men.
