Max Dickins' story of male friendship and how men can learn from the bonds between women.
‘I realised I had no male friends - here’s what I did about it and what I learnt from women’
“I went home that night, got a piece of paper out and a pen, made a list of the candidates I'd consider and I realised that I work with most of these men. The rest of them I haven't spoken to, in some cases, for one or two or three years. I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, where have all my friends gone?’ “I spoke to the world expert on friendship, an evolutionary anthropologist called Dr Robin Dunbar. He said to me, essentially, female friendships tend to be face-to-face and based around talk. There's quite a lot of emotional disclosure and women will often say they have one best friend that they often know more closely than their romantic partner. Men's friendships tend to be side-by-side, based around sharing activities together and often in groups.
