- Are you wondering how to make new guy friends? Do you want to learn to make friends with other men? Are you missing having buddies to hang out with and do 'guy stuff' with? You're not alone...
Most guys seems to lose their friendships with their buddies at some stage of their lives. In your 30s and 40s it is easy to spend all your time with your wife, girlfriend, or partner and to neglect your guy friends.
Male friends are important and help a man to stay balanced in life. If you have no guy friends, you feel less happy and more isolated as a man. Male friendships are healthy and make your life more fulfilled.
Making new friends as a man can be tough, but it is easier when you have the right mindset. Once you learn how to make friends with other men, your life is much more fulfilling.
I have experienced having no guys friends at several times in my life. It's really tough to be alone as a man, and to want to make new male friends. Making new friends as a guy is a challenge, but it is possible.
When I moved country in my 30s, and also when I got divorced, I had to learn how to make friends with other men. Making friends with other guys is not as easy as it looks. Men aren't as good at connecting or making new friendships as women. Men tend to become more isolated as they get older, and don't stay connected to their make friends.
If you are a man in your 30s or 40s who wants to make new guy friends, then hopefully this video will give you ideas.

Brave subject to talk about, Dan. So true and this is an aspect of men's mental health we never talk about (rather we just say "it's OK to show your feelings" rather than saying "I need to get out of that endless cycle of negativity and I would like to build better male friendships in my middle age". I always see the endlessly negative posts and trolling of others on Facebook and think this loneliness is manifested in anger and lashing out at people. This has got a lot worse for the two years of global disruption that covid caused.
Great watch! I just moved to a new city and have found it tough to meet people. I have been stupidly busy and haven't found as much time to engage in the one hobby that keeps me sane, but after watching this and your other video about 7 things that change in your 30s, I'm more inspired to make time for the things I enjoy. It's gonna be an uphill battle but like you said, our mental health depends on it.
Hey that’s awesome! Glad they were helpful. Wishing you all the best for this new phase in your life! 🙏🏻
Your videos are really cool and helpful. As I go into my thirties next month, watching you talk has already relieved some fears of how life might turn out for me. Thanks!
Thanks Freddy, glad to hear that they helped you! 🙏🏻 wishing you all the best for the next decade!
Thank you for the info
You got it! Hope it helps you 😊🙏🏻
I’ve never liked the dynamic of a group of guys. Men especially tend to behave differently in a group compared to a two/three. Hence I’ve avoided this situation which has restricted my friendships. The thing is, I can’t fake it.
I understand what you mean - I think that certain types of men (usually the less self-developed) fall into the mode when around other men. But there are others who can be themselves and have higher quality conversations. You just gotta find them one at a time. 😊🙏🏻
Nice clip man! I think activities is the main way, say sport for meeting and making friends. Just by entering a game of sport you automatically create cooperation and union.
Yep, I definitely agree! It’s really been a big help for me! 😊
Thank you for this video!
I have about 10 friends whom I am very thankful for but on most evenings or weekends I am alone at home.
The reason is that it is scary for me to make plans a couple days in advance. Especially planning group events is tough because I am afraid people won't enjoy themselves and won't like me anymore because I made them sit out a boring evening.
I will face my anxiety and go for the social life I dream of :)
That’s awesome! Go for it! 😁
@@midsonshortThanks!
I have since then hosted 2 board game evenings with 3 and 4 people.
Seeing how everything went fine and everybody had a great time was one of the biggest confidence boosts in my life :)
you are someone i needed to find for a long time
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words! 😊
good to see you in good health daniel
Thank you my friend! 🙏🏻😊
hay thanks for the video, can u let us know how to be motivated all the time so that we don't lose our precious time in procrastination
That is a tough one. I don’t know that you can be motivated all the time… I know for my sometimes I am working off discipline and other times I feel motivated. You have to find a balance for yourself that works. But maybe I can make a video around this idea at some stage to share more ideas. 🙏🏻😊
Go to church. They're all there.

What if you are a woman and you want male friends, but all of them are either married and their wives are jealous or they perceive you as a woman, and not as a friend?
Yes I can imagine that is tricky at times. As long as you show their wife/partner you have no agenda, then I am sure over time they will be more trusting. Having said that, some people are just simply more jealous than others and it may be hard to be friends with men who have partners like that. Hope that helps!
@@midsonshort and what if a man has no girlfriend/wife but still there is a problem of perception. When I ask such men why, they say, that men and women cannot be friends. There is always some tint of romance
@@atl_tube I think then it's that particular guy's problem, and maybe he’s not the right friend match for you. The right friend match would see that you don’t have any intentions of romance and would view you as only a friend, maybe even as a sister. I’d say keep searching, and be clear in your interactions that you have no interest in a romantic relationship. That’s what worked for me.
@@atl_tube not true, many of my friends are female.
@@Browzan and you have never had the slightest intention to do something more if you have a chance someday?
For me it's when guy's start to get into relationship's with women and think that's enough so they either forget about the guys and rely more on the women.
Yep that’s definitely happened to me with friends and I’ve been guilty of doing it too! It’s important to maintain the male relationships in your life even when you have a partner.
