What Is a Man?
Men's friendships aren't represented in the modern conversation because we're measuring the wrong thing. Men talk a lot in moral terms men about friendship, which is superloyal and resilient. And that's what closeness is. Shared adventure used to be a big iconography of male friendships. You think you really miss it when your friends are 18 years old? That was for me what i missed as a man. I looked at my life from an adult point of view - i can do that with my mate, metaphorically, and they'll still be my mate.
