How do you think men and women experience friendship (and lack of friends) differently?

I recently started working as a friendship coach for men, and the reason I focus on men is because I'm a man myself and I know there are differences in how we approach friendship.

And while I also think men are particularly hit by the loneliness epidemic, I've noticed a lot of women posting about their struggles to make friends.

If you don't have an answer but would like to share your personal experience with this issue (and mention your gender), that's great too.
