As a middle aged man this hits home. There were a lot of good observations in this article too. The photos of men staring at the world together, while women tended to face each other, was a fun observation.

Having lived a bit of a nomadic life, and now in a new city since last year, connecting with old friends in a meaningful way is hard.

Old friends? As if I had any of those. I agree with you hits home. Father of 3, between work and family it is hard to connect with anyone. I have no father, mother, grandparents, uncles aunts etc. Alone is the new normal it seems. My local church has male gatherings but I am the only one under 60. Fun!
