Men making new friends...

I find myself agreeing with the concept of men needing true friends to do life with...and I agree our spouses can not be that person.
I am sensing from your posts that your definition of a true friend may be a little different than mine however.
What I mean is that you seem to want a clone or “foxhole buddy” for a relationship centered around pushing each other to be tougher, more physical, etc...sort of a macho man or alpha male thing.
Nothing wrong with that on some level but my list of candidates for a true friend would focus more on authenticity and humility...being strong without being prideful about it.
I’m looking for a few good men to work through the following book

I'm not a man of faith, but that's an excellent book.

I understand what you are saying, I am just built different I guess, always been a loaner, maybe because I am an only child. And life(crappy friends and family) have made me a little(a lot) jaded. I am thankful for my grandfather being a guiding force in my life.

Oh I get it. I was an only child..well I have a half sister that was a lot older so we don’t talk. I was left to figure stuff out alone and self soothe. It does make a person different and deal different. Kind of used to disappointment. So one tends to seclude so we don’t have to deal with that.
