Geoffrey Greif

Geoffrey Greif, a sociology professor and author of "Buddy System: Understanding Male Friendships," challenges the misconception that men don’t value friendships like women do. He reveals that many men desire deep connections but struggle to form them. The conversation explores the unique nature of male friendships, including their four types, and the crucial influence of fathers on sons’ social lives. Greif also discusses how these relationships evolve with age and the importance of meaningful interactions over superficial ones.
