In Part 1 of our Men’s Friendship episode, we met several men who shared their experiences of male platonic relationships. Despite the differences and the nuances of their various situations, their stories all supported the recent findings that most men are having fewer friendships that they had just 30 years ago, and that the friendships they do have fail to offer a safe space for them to share emotional support. 

In this episode, our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson explores what we can do about this issue, and the men share their advice for other men, and for us women, on how we can support the men in our lives.

Danielle also speaks with Melanie Hamlet, a journalist who wrote an article for Harper’s Bazaar, entitled “Men Have No Friends and Women Bear The Burden”, and they dive deep on the many implications of this.  

And as always, stay tuned for your homework.
