I'm pretty surprised by the friend-making info you shared. Do you have a source? I'd like to read more.

In terms of making friend stats I don't know of any study's but I do find it extremely believable from my life. My dad is probably the only man I know of to have a friend group and even then it's just him and one other guy. Meanwhile I walk around and see women walking around exclusively in groups. I suppose it really doesn't help that in the place I'm from socializing with coworkers is considered lazy and generally shushed.
