Why most men don't have enough close friends

Research has shown close friendships protect our mental and physical health, she added. And men who prioritize those relationships are fighting off one of the most harmful things to human health — loneliness, said Dr. Frank Sileo, a psychologist based in Ridgewood, New Jersey.

"What (men) are at risk of losing is this sense of not being alone in the world or not being alone in their experience," Sileo said. Research has shown "disclosure of emotional distress improved (men's) emotional well-being, increased feelings of being understood and resulted in less reported loneliness," he added.

Just as many men strive to eat right, exercise, succeed in their careers and raise children , men should prioritize developing friendships as adults, he said.

Note to Stan, you're not making it easy dude.
