A recent poll carried out by The Movember Foundation on YouGov has revealed millions of men do not believe they’ve a close enough friend to discuss serious issues with.
The poll revealed that 12% of men over 18 years old have no one they turn to in times of need, and that suggests a staggering 2.5 million men across Britain face the same problem.
9% told they cannot remember when they last spoke to mates, and over a quarter of those polled told speak to friends just once a month.
Based on the accounts 6 men all aged between 19 years old and 30 years old, Vice found a wide array of reasons why men felt their friendships had slipped away.
The reasons included moving away from their oldest friends to new friends, opting to move into the world of work instead of continuing in education, associating mates as drinking friends instead of confidants, career goals, time pressures, and relationships.
