== What experience can adult men (25+) go through that is enough to build a lasting friendship?==

Maybe fatherhood. I’ve had some of that experience with friends I’ve made through my kid’s preschool.

This week I read an article about a local club for new fathers in Chicago. Kinda of a similar concept, friendship through shared experience.
