    It makes sense for guys 10-25, and also for men 55-80 but the average man 25-40 having 2 "guy nights" a week would probably end up dead if it was only done in person. because at some point one of the guys is going to suggest something wildly fun, but also wildly dangerous and from 25-40 is 15 years at 2 nights a week thats 1,590 outings atleast 90 of those outings will be near death and if 10% of that is fatal thats 9 times they probably got themselves or a bro killed.

    I'm a father, 45 years old with 2 young daughters. Both my wife and i work full time, we barely get time to tread water with all the household chores etc. My best mate who was best man at our wedding comes over on a Saturday night every 6 weeks or so. He brings his guitar and we sit and have a jam for about 4 hours. This time is so good for me, even though I'm happy with the rest of my life.

    There’s undoubtedly a lot of pressure on men. There’s a lot of pressure on women too. There’s a lot of pressure on relationships. There’s pressure on children. But let’s talk about the bigger problem too. Financial pressures could be somewhat alleviated if we didn’t live in a culture where what you own and image matters. Mental health would improve if we were all weren’t addicted to our phones and screens. Relationship pressures would improve if both people were present and committed to partnership, not their phones. Physical health would improve if our society didn’t keep creating things to make life so easy you don’t have to move. I can control my washing machine from my car for goodness sake. It’s ridiculous. Easy lives make weak people. That’s just a fact. And I’m not saying there aren’t people who have very really difficulties and these solutions don’t apply, there’s definitely more than one crisis situation going on. But let’s go upstream to how we got here in the first place. We mock the old days of gender roles, but families all ate dinner together without a phone and talked. It used to be a village did in fact raise a child, and now you have men and women all alone raising children by themselves without support. We’ve broken down so many systems that helped us all stay healthier in many ways. Women are at the end of their rope now too. It’s so disheartening to sit in a public space and watch humans these days. We are like robots, being controlled by our phones, and what our phones tell us to do, think, and prioritize. It’s time to look up, put down your phone, and face what life really is in front of you and deal with it. Stop running from responsibilities and procrastination.

But there is also a part of my identity that needs other kinds of interactions.

    I'm 41yo. Used to have great friendships in my youth (up to 25), and male parties were common. Slowly but surely, I lost all my friends, except one. Now I barely know anyone. Somehow loneliness still isn't considered as a real problem in our society, especially when it concerns men. If ever, it'll be seen as primarily their fault. I reckon I/we can be "solitary animals", but it's also what is expected from us. I found women to be often disapproving of my former friendships, pushing me to spend even less time with them. It's just unhealthy overall, for men, women, society.

    Woman's perspective here: I've ALWAYS thought that relationships were far HEALTHIER if BOTH partners get both some alone time and social time with friends. It's NOT healthy for men to ONLY have their female partners for support. Two evenings (or one evening and some time on a weekend day) seems REASONABLE to me. That doesn't mean that men shouldn't be dong more DOMESTIC labor than they usually do (if BOTH partners work outside jobs)--but, that's another issue). Some women's resentment of men having time with their male friends might come from their BFs/husbands ALREADY spending a lot of at home on video games and/or watching sports--while doing very little at home chores.

    Hey homies - I agree with the sentiments expressed. BUT "the study" was bogus. It was funded by the Guinness beer company where they wanted Dunbar to team up with Danny Wallace (british humorist) for an ad campaign. The funding source doesn't necessarily mean the study's bad, but it was only done on a group of five guys. The only place the research was published was on Guinness's website and they've since taken it down. I don't think this takes away from the commentary around men needing to spend time together or that the backlash from that very notion being ridiculous. Yet, I just wanted to give some extra context in case you all reference this study later and open your central point open for attack. The core studies on social connection and the disproportionate impact on men because of how we construct our social circles (or lack thereof) should be enough. :)

    I agree completely. Men need a brotherhood. Men need men to do manly things, to have encouragement, understanding and accountability. Men motivate men to be MEN. I need women around to understand me as a woman. In my marriage there is no designated time for socializing. Like everything else in our marriage, we compromise. Sometimes he needs more time with his mates, and I pick up that slack. Sometimes I need rest and he does the same for me. Because we love one another. Funny how easy things become when you love your partner.

    I think this research is probably accurate and useful, for an awful lot of men. Personally, I find the notion about as unappealing as two weeks on a cruise ship. However, my personal (probably rare) idiosyncrasies are not to be recommended, on the whole. I raise them simply to suggest that individuals should find what works for them. Either way, effort should be made to find peace of mind.

    There are millions of men who would spend lots of time with their partner and not seek time out socializing but women don’t want them lmao. They want guys who other women want and actively desire. It’s a self destructive ego game. I am glad to be a man though. Running around partying, drinking and having everything given to me, crying to get my way and posting my Ls on social media for everyone to see. It’s great.

    Female here, I have 6 brothers. Absolutely, males need male time ! 💪🏻 It makes them better brothers, husbands, and fathers. Key is, being very selective on hanging out with males that will support and encourage you to be the best possible you. Emulate the man that you want your daughter to marry. You are the number one prototype that she will go after.

    Years ago, in every pub in every town, sat a lonely figure of a man, hoping, waiting, and insisting on being heard. Others would whisper in the shadows "Be careful! Don't get too close, he's the pub bore..." Drunk on his own intellect, yearning to be special, situationally unaware, he always missed 'the point'. He always went home alone

However, from past relationships and friends stories I’ve found that guys night often means getting shitfaced and coming home way too late etc etc. I’m sure some women are being way too controlling, but I think a big percentage have been burned by bad behavior around this.

    I, also, think a lot of it depends on the association their partner is engaging in. What kind of friends? What activites are they doing? Is his best friend a known cheater with shady characteristics? I think age has a lot to do with it. Are the two nights at the bar? Or are the two nights gaming at home? Fishing at your local lake? Golfing? Are you home by a reasonable time? There's a lot that the couple need to reason on and let be known what they are willing or not willing to except. It boils down to communication, kindness, and respect.

He reached out to my husband for help and decided he needed a new filter. So my husband jumps up and goes to his house to pick him up to make a Walmart run. Well... apparently his friends woman was NOT happy. Acted super jealous and annoyed. Like... girl... calm down... There's so many insecure women out there that can't even handle their man going to Walmart past 7 PM.

    I think a lot of people, especially women, are confusing what a guys night can be. I usually have 2 guys nights a week and it's me playing basketball at a local gym for 2 hours. And then my in studio podcast which usually ends up being around 2 and a half hours. I'm a dad and i still help out with the baby and stuff around the house. And yes i afford my wife the same kind of opportunities when she wants them. I think it may be a little easier for me because my wife is a stay at home mom. But it can be done and that time away from her allows me to miss her and enjoy my time at home all the more.
