Well to bring up developmental theory...Young men in early adulthood often need far more social contact because that stage of life is about exploration, building identity, and expanding networks.

By midlife, most men have shifted into a stage of consolidation where priorities narrow, relationships deepen, and the need for frequent socializing drops.

Sure I could put in citations, but its Sunday and I'm relaxing....So here's a quote from Aristotle instead:

The aim of the wise is not to secure more friends, but to find enough good ones.
