When you're young you don't care about the people that you associate with, when you get older you have higher standards and this lessens the "friend pool"
Just like booze when your young takka or old crow is good enough, would drink water before I drink cheep vodka or bourbon.

All of the few good friends I have are scattered across the country. But truth be told, I've always preferred my own company anyway.

I’ve read through most of this thread and I actually have had this same conversation with my wife and sons.
It always reminds me of a conversation from a sitcom called Rules of Engagement. If you don’t remember it it starred Putty from Seinfeld or Mr Incredible for the millenniums. Anyway, in this episode his wife was trying to talk him into meeting this new couple. She asks him why he isn’t interested in making new friends and his response always killed me. He says something like “ New friends? I’ve been trying to get rid of the ones I’ve got since college!!!”
Painfully true……

They kinda talk about this fact on Modern Family, when Jay tells Gloria he doesn’t want any new friends, he is too old and just wants friends he already has.

I can’t attest to every male over 40, but personally I’m either too busy or too tired for “friends”. I have a ton of professional relationships but very, very few personal relationships outside of family.

I haven’t seen my brother in over 3 years. We live 2:45 away. In my case, I’m the younger brother by 14 years. I’m 41 now, with a wife, active KIDS, 2 dogs, full-time job, and a side-hustle. For years, I catered to everyone, but I now focus on me.
Due to death, all of my relationships are now parallel.
Building Masculine Frame and saying F it, we ball!

When we are born we are provided with a finite capacity to deal with other people‘a shot. As men, we catch more shite than women when we are younger. As we age, it is natural that we start to stay away from situations where we are likely to be exposed to other people’s shite. This, we tend to gravitate toward solitary interests where interaction is minimized.
TLDR: people suck and are hard to deal with.

I didn’t want to say it but he is right when you get over 50 you are just tired of all the bullshite, and love people, abs being social but just over the BS, which unfortunately is 90% of life

Been married for 10 years. I have my friends that mostly live far away. Wife has her friends that mostly live far away. We've never been able to make couple friends with kids our age, which would be much more convenient at this stage in our life. Either I don't jive with the dad or she doesn't jive with the mom. Love how kids can go and make friends with anyone

Men grow wiser as they age and therefore are less likely to accept/tolerate the BS from people.

Men are mostly social to get laid. Once they marry, there's not much point anymore.

I can go either way. I can be highly social or I can be a loner and enjoy both.
My focus and time is designated mostly for my family. I love watching my kids, nephews, nieces playing sports or other activities.
I have thrown many cookouts for 30-40 and enjoy the whole process but I get the most satisfaction when people really enjoy the food I prepare, but I can also shut down after a heavy work week and not want a soul to say hello or call me. I just want to unwind and fix up my home and property., swim, fire pit, golfing, four wheeling, etc., and hanging with my wife, son and dogs.

Well, most old men are/have been married and learn after years and years of marriage that everything they say will be dissected, judged, and used against them. So they just quit talking so much.

You have buddies before you are married
Then you split time with her friends
Then when you have kids your new friends are parents of your kids friends
They usually move on and yes you have one or two peeps that have stuck with you over the years.
It is what it is.
