Men losing friends

Non-erotic male companionship with other males is on the decline in North America, according to a study in the American Sociological Review. Conducted by sociologists at the UA and Duke University, the study found that men have one-third fewer close friends than they did two decades ago - about 2.08 today compared to 2.94 in 1985. The study pointed to the Internet as the primary detractor from friends.

pick3 saw the words "non-erotic male companionship" and completely lost interest in this thread.

I just think people don't have time or patience to put up with A**holes anymore - thereby reducing the people you are in contact with.

I prefer the sausage.

Yes...you made us all aware of that.

i've lost several good guy friends due to the disease called marriage.


but gained a few back from the antidote called divorce.

is the traditional family unit on the rise over the same period?? that would explain it. . .i know that i sure as hell don't have near as much time to spend with the boys (or the desire to do so) as i used to. . .it's all good, though.
