“Lonely men who get caught in the trap”
“Andrev Walden gives tips on the rituals of the new program”
“This is a kulturartikel which is a part of Aftonbladet’s opinionsjournalistik.”
“I have a bunch from high school who I rarely meet and have little in common with, but we never need to struggle with topics. High school was as an extension of the primary school. You had people around, and it was quite haphazard which they they were. Their jobs have never interested me, and vice versa. “
“the Journalist Andrev Walden is a good many years older than me, has children and family, and the male friends are soon lost. He is afraid to get stuck in the ”mansfällan”, and Can Andrev to get a friend is now possible to see on the SVT Edit. Mansfällan means that the children become bigger, wife want to divorce (mansfällan is probably also heterosexual and fairly normative), and suddenly you realize that all the friends have disappeared along the way. What do we do men? “
“We toned often out in a vacuum. Loneliness begets loneliness. And it feels like the loneliness is finally starting to be discussed seriously. The female equivalent is, for example, in Malin Lindroths Nuckan. Of course it does not need to be sex-dependent, but it is nice that Walden is addressed to men who are men, and that probably not is the master of communication and to show emotion. They tend to be extra vulnerable. “
“Walden’s proposal is to create rituals. In my case it is almost always beer, but there are, thankfully, a limit to how many beers you can drink to keep alive friendship. He chooses instead to play tennis or go on the football. As tennistränaren and artist Jonas Lundqvist says: Ten balls on the track is like five beers at the pub. “
