FOUNDER’S NOTE:
Hi. I’m Tony. Welcome to DUDEFRIENDS. I am truly grateful that you’re here.
I never imagined that I’d be working in the self-development space, helping men live more fulfilling lives. But I was once in a very dark place, struggling to find meaning and purpose. I was depressed. I was frustrated. I was lonely.
Perhaps you are feeling the same way. Or perhaps you know a man who is.
In 2013, I lost my father, suddenly and unexpectedly. This sent me spiraling down a path of deep self-exploration, on which I realized that life is too short and too unpredictable to settle for less than what you really want. And so, I began to make some profound changes in my life. I was lucky enough to find some incredible coaches and mentors who guided me along the way.
When other men began asking me how I’d helped myself, I uncovered a passion for helping them.
Since 2017, I have worked with hundreds – if not thousands – of men, and almost all of them have told me the same thing: I don’t know where or how to meet them, but I need more dudes in my life; I need more dude friends.
Certainly, the statistics speak for themselves. Male depression and loneliness has become a profoundly serious problem. But I’ve also seen and experienced it firsthand…
DUDES NEED FRIENDS.
When men have good male friends, every aspect of our lives improve. That’s why I created DUDEFRIENDS.
DUDEFRIENDS provides men a place to comfortably interact and cultivate lasting friendships with other men. So, don’t be shy. Jump in and start connecting. You never know; it just might change your life.

A SINGULAR MISSION:
DUDEFRIENDS was created with a mission: Put a dent in the male loneliness problem.
In 2017, the U.S. Surgeon General penned an essay for the Harvard Business Review, in which he declared loneliness a growing health epidemic. He wasn’t wrong. And the problem is getting worse, particularly among men.
Far too many men today are struggling. They are depressed and isolated. They lack community. They are suffering in silence.
There is also lingering stigma around men’s mental health.
DUDEFRIENDS enriches the lives of men by providing them a safe space in which they can converse, connect, and cultivate lasting friendships with other men.

THE REMARKABLE BENEFITS OF MALE FRIENDSHIP
Strong male friendships are essential for men’s health and wellbeing due to their unique capacity to provide emotional support, companionship, and a sense of belonging.
