As someone who belongs to subreddits with mainly straight men…difficulty making friends over 30 seems to come up often enough. I sort of see it on gay subreddits but not as much. I do wonder if most of us not having children helps. Also, if we are partnered it just seems like it’s less of an issue for us to take some time away from our partners compared to men partnered with women (my personal experience with my straight male friends and online spaces). Also, more social spaces geared towards us. Granted, it’ll vary because no two people are alike and geography plays a part, lifestyles, etc. All that said, in your opinion, is it easier for us to make friends after 30 compared to men who are heterosexual or live in heterosexual lifestyles?

This may track. Hard to say because though I was a girls’ gay, it was back when I was very, very young (16 to 19). I didn’t have a single male friend during that time. That gradually changed to the point where when I got to age 26 I had equal amounts of men and women as friends. I remember hooking up with a much older guy when I was 20 who warned me about how women will leave your life when you’re older. I never consciously thought about it but I think it maybe had a subconscious effect. Fortunately I am very happy to be a guys’ gay. We understand each other perfectly and I know they’ll be around to some extent. Hell, even my straight guy friends are relatively available. It’s mainly straight women who just kind of vanish after 30.
