I agree that man rarely have other people to turn to who they can express emotions around them. One issues IMO is that - to be blunt - most men don't have a decent or high level of empathy. IME a lot of men feel not only uncomfortable expressing emotions, but also feel uncomfortable being in the presence of other men expressing emotions. (IME men tend to be comfortable with women expression emotions).

IMO it's going to take men to actively search for other men who want to develop emotional intelligence for the sake of their own and their children's well being.

In the absence of real life engagement, IMO men need to focus on expressing themselves to God and the page. (Which are good things to do, even if you do have male friends to talk to.)
