But my guest today argues that assumption is wrong and comes from viewing friendship from a strictly female point of view. In fact, based on his research, most adult men very much want good friends but just don\u2019t know how to make them. What\u2019s more, he says, male friendships look different from female ones and we should stop judging the quality of male friendships based on how women do them.</p><p>[shortcode-variables slug=\"footer\"]</p><hr>","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/365263a7-aa57-4461-876c-75ff846be2a7/1514307283822-641c83bed12200617801f7a96cf4ef55.jpeg"}
