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.

But with age comes some responsibility for yourself and your family and I think the average man is smarter than that
My husband has a night a week with his snooker buddies for last 17 years and he rarely misses it. On Sundays he visits a mate for an hour or so and they help each other out with mechanical jobs when needed. It’s healthy and necessary and I encourage it. I have plenty of girl time and we have couples time and our time. 33 yrs of marriage we’ve learnt we don’t have to be joined at the hip to have a solid relationship.

Sadly, most guys are horrible at making and keeping guy friends. The moment the guy gets married, he's gone. Only when he realizes later that he needs his bro's, it's too late, cuz those friends have moved on. Guys need to learn how to have genuine friendships that aren't romantic in nature.

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.

The path is to seek truth, work on self & be of service. Socialization - “we can keep going on less attention than we crave”, we know this from times we’ve indulged in socializing & walked away with nothing but lost time & neglected duties. Depends on the individual, I have enough on my plate.

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.

@@Planeet-Long That sounds about right. In any case the book is a short and easy read, but contains such a wealth of insight that it takes multiple reads to fully understand and practically integrate into your relationships. I'm not a young guy, and that book has been incredibly useful. It also explains 'the how's and 'the why' of the deterioration of many a male/female relationship.
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.

Married to a Slavic woman, where international women's day is Valentine's day. You learn of the analogue, defender of the fatherland day. If you don't get a gift, you don't owe one back. I gave up on hunans early. When I read all my mother's books, psychology, sociology, feminism, etc. Married twice, neither time to an English woman. Getting into AI, i got into hunans, because "AI" is deeply surprisingly human. So sitting back and observing my wife change day to day is really odd. I found Stoicism as a way to deal with my wife, because "I am going to have to accept that some things will not change" I can honestly recommend it, got me through cancer. Never would have expected that. Great show by the way.

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. :)

Some prefer the control and autonomy that comes from singleness. I'm not the one putting a moral judgment on that - I'm explicitly saying that it's *actually better* to know that about yourself before trapping a wife and kids into a life and relationship that none of you wants. A lot of men are in denial about it.
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.

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

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.

There is less time for everyone to do what they want or to allow partners to be social as there is less time, a lot of women feel unloved if you’re not with them 24/7 and if your girl wants girl time and you can’t that’s a big red flag already.

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.
08:20 This actually points to a lower glass ceiling for talented men, if less accomplished women are more likely to be appointed CEO purely because she's a woman you need to be much more competent as a man, meaning that for men and women of the same level of competencies a glass ceiling exists for men that doesn't exist for women.

"Guys night" is such a weird concept to me. All the way back to high school my friends group has been mixed men and women. My wife is my best friend. I dunno, true for populations but not all individuals is a category I suppose.
A directly quotable video title, wish me luck, lads ...But in all seriousness, if there was a comparison of what women want for their sons, versus from their partners, it would be revealing in this respect. Of course there would be a range of responses, but they would be distributed differently.
Science
What are friends. I have a family. How can anyone be a good father a good husband work 50 + hrs a week and still have times to go hang with the boys twice a week. Not saying I wouldn’t enjoy it. But too much to juggle without dropping something.

100%, you have to make sacrifices if you're married with kids! Hopefully you can get some of your hobbies back once they're grown up
I cant imagine anyone other than my wife wanting to see me every week lmao! truly. I dont want to see my friends every week. oh well! my goal right now is once per month see friends or family outside the house. Probably very unhealthy but its improvement for me. 35 yo, married, one kiddo. but i also play video games with my wife almost every day, which is so fun. if my wife saw friends once per week i would be so proud of her and i know it would be huge for her health, same for me i know.
That all male house party sounds great haha
If anyone wants to golf hit me up! Come out with my friends and I!
Men don’t need a day. We’re the basis for stable , safe, prosperous society. Days are for the weak.
Science says, 2 SPA days per week and 8 hours sleep for young mothers to remain healthy.
If no alcohol or other drugs are involved.

Only the cleanest MDMA for me.
It used to be a night at the local pub - NO girls.
uhm...do I have to feel bad now if my husband prefers to spend time with me? will he die earlier if I do not force him to spend time with his friends? serious question
I always try to advocate to women to make sure they find hobbies or activites that are for themselves... not as a couple. You BOTH have to have your own time. I think a lot of women expect to fulfull ALL their man's needs and desires and that's just not realistic. This is why tribes were so important. Men get their pack of brothrens while the older women can calm down the younger women. LOL
I have 7 guy nights per week. Sometimes I even sleep through them.
Shit I haven’t had a guys night since my bachelor party. I’ve been married 7 years end of this month.
Hanging out with the bros is overrated 😂 I'm always so bored. That shit was fun when we were kids but watching the game, drinking brews and shooting the shit gets old.
At 38 I have no desire to see friends once a week let alone twice 🤷
Do 2 alone "Guy's Nights" per week count? That's how many friends I have xD

My wife's brother's "guy nights" are spear fishing on midnight low tides. I want to join 'em.
Haven't had a guys night in 7 years and i feel like im dying.
Wait, you guys have friends to do a guys night?

Then you're doing this right.
2 nights a week seems excessive....and i'm a dude. A full quarter of nights every month spent away from your family doesn't strike me as reasonable.
The comments show how widespread the issue is when men are married with kids
Fuck that. One or two a year max
“GUYS NIGHT”
The study was comissoned by Guiness. That's all you need to know
Me surviving on zero in years 😅
Is it toxic masculinity if a trans man is being aggressive? Asking for a friend
*You know it is truly a Guys Night when* *_''There's a giant banana hanging from the ceiling that everyone's trying to kick''_* 5:06 *This is somehow the most dude thing ever* 😂 Addition: And it is true. Males in particular like to be more alone and isolated nowadays and social interactions in general lift the spirits and allow you to forget about the world for just one day.
Who's this Science guy, he says a lot of stuff but no one has ever met him?
Some guys are just arseholes. But... most women who do not get as much attention from their guy as they need are dating out of their leagues. They are 6s hanging out to 8s thinking its long term relationship while for him its just a fling.
I think a guy's night is a healthy need for a man. And it releases stress and built up emotions. Its a necessity to have it in some form.

I use to think this…but as I got older I don’t have time to spend 2 nights with “the bros”. I got gym, work and rest to catch up on. If you need 2 nights a week to spend with the boys every week, I guarantee you that you’re unsuccessful in live.
