> Here's an easy solution guys - make friends with more women

I'm male. And I'm going to say that most of the women I know would prefer you didn't offer this advice. Women frequently do a ton of emotional labor for men and receive little back. There's already quite a bit of imbalance. Many men rely on the women in their life for support rather than the men.

Most women I know do enjoy their male friends but still wish the men in their lives had more male friends.

Who on earth are you to tell someone not to make friends with women? I struggle to interpret that charitibly

That is an interesting point. I know that in my case I give as much as I take emotionally - in fact I think I give more.
