Heard the radio program as I was heading to work after dropping my daughter. Off the bat I had a few questions:

• Is this phenomenon unique to America / Western World
• Is this a new development. I.e, was this not a issue 10 / 50 / 100 years ago?
• Is the assumption that the friendship has to be between men?

– manzoor

• On Point Radio – Middle-Aged Men Need More Friends
