"Male bonds" refer to the close friendships and emotional connections that develop between men. These relationships often involve shared experiences, interests, and activities, such as sports, hobbies, or work. Male bonds can provide emotional support, companionship, and a sense of belonging, helping men navigate life's challenges. Research suggests that male bonds may differ from female friendships, often emphasizing shared activities over emotional discussions. However, these connections can still be deeply meaningful. Understanding male bonding can shed light on the importance of social networks in promoting mental health and well-being among men.
