Men in general are poorly socially connected unless it's through women. They have their friendships but they are rarely "deep" and it is only through an SO or female friend that they experience true social integration.

Yes male/male friendships can much more easily brush off disagreements but it's because they are not as a general rule emotionally close or particularly empathetic.

There are a ton of young, inexperienced, socially inept men on Reddit who have nothing more than a superficial understanding of women and don't value how we as women connect communities together. They see our arguments as nothing more than bickering and jealously and their way as "rational".

Yet men do extremely poorly without an SO and women do the same with or without an SO.
