When Max Dickins started to think about proposing to his girlfriend, he realized there was no one he could call on to be his best man. This realization sent him to examine the friendships he had had over the years, and where they had floundered. Men are, on average, more isolated and lonelier than women. Dickins' disarmingly honest and witty interrogation of traditional masculinity is a personal quest borne of inner crisis, providing a platform to intelligently explore the connection between widespread male loneliness and isolation and the recently christened social phenomenon of toxic masculinity.
