How Much Time Do Men Need to Become Friends?

My next post in this series, New Year; New Types of Friends describes how much time it takes for men to make friends as an adult. I will reference a study about the amount of time needed to make a casual friend and how long it takes to move through the deepening stages of friendship. I also explain some differences between male and female friendships and provide guidelines for how to get started. You can catch up on my earlier posts in this series at these links:  The Philosophy of Friendship about how brotherly love (philia) adds emotional depth to your friendships, which makes it a “friendship for the good.”  The History of Friendship explains that friends served utilitarian, companionship, erotic, and spiritual purposes over time.

My hope is that this entire series helps you see why having a small group of men –what

The Physiology of Friendship

The physiology – the physical aspects of friendships, is the next topic in this series on man friends.  This post covers the benefits of physical activity with a friend, but also how testosterone affects men, which can add risks to his relationships. Upcoming posts will cover how friendships change throughout our lifespan, followed by several posts with examples of good friends in sports, literature, and entertainment. My hope is that this entire series helps you see why friendships are so important to men but also why a GodBuddy is the most preferred type of friendship.  The Physical Aspects of Friendship My last post, The Psychology of Friendship, stated psychology studies the mind, whereas similarly-spelled physiology studies the body. Of course, there is a crossover between these two words since our mind controls our body’s actions.  Neurochemistry, the molecular, cellular, and biochemical aspects of the brain and nervous system play an important role
