The Male Friendship Recession | Ep. 8

63% of men under 30 are single. 15% of men report having no close friends. And yet the real problem isn't the number of friends in your phone.

It's that no man in your life is authorized to tell you the truth about yourself.
In Episode 8 of The Maxximus Show, Ryan Poole breaks down the Male Friendship Recession not to scare you, but to give you the honest picture, the actual mechanism behind why men lose each other, and the four concrete moves that fix it.

What you'll hear in this episode:

* The four counterfeits men mistake for brotherhood (and why the hype man is the most dangerous one)

* What the data actually says — and the part most people in the men's space won't tell you

* Why having friends didn't fix the loneliness

* The real word for what men are missing: witness

* Ryan's own story — and what it cost him

* The Brotherhood Audit: four moves you can start in the next ten minutes

Nobody is coming to tell you you're drifting. That's the whole problem. And it's the one you can fix today.
