It could be easy for guys to make friends if men didn’t think it was weird to make friends with other men

For whatever odd reason that is.......
It’s not that men find it “weird” to make new friends..
It’s trusting them..
Also men(after a certain age) are only friends out of necessity or politicking to move up..
Most men develop those close friendships through high school or college..
Those friends saw you at your worse, been through fights, helped you get back on your feet after your first breakup, etc..
So trying to translate that into adulthood when you meet a bunch of new nikkas is hard because there is no trust or shared memories..
We may think a nikka is cool but men are always cautious of intent..
It’s very rare we let our guards down unless said new friend is heavily vetted by the person that introduced us or some kind of past experience/job/hobby we may have in passing..
