I enjoyed this discussion on Woman's Hour about male friendships. Based on Billy No-Mates.
"Men treat women like their HR department"
"Men don't have friends. They have wives who have friends who have husbands"
"The best way to have a friend is to be a friend. Men don't put the effort in"
"Show up when you're asked. Go first when you're not. Keep going even when it's hard"
