After Zach heard our “<a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/how-to/2021/10/how-to-make-friends-as-an-adult">How To Make Friends as an Adult</a>” episode, which coincidentally featured all women, he and a few other male listeners wrote in questioning how useful it was for men. He wondered if we could address the unique challenges men face when it comes to making new friends. On this episode of How To!, we bring on Slate staff writers <a href="https://www.dankois.com/">Dan Kois</a>, author of <a href="https://www.littlebrown.com/titles/dan-kois/how-to-be-a-family/9780316552615/">How to Be a Family,</a> and <a href="http://www.aymann.com/">Aymann Ismail</a>, former host of the podcast <a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/man-up">Man Up</a>, to coach Zach through a few easy tips. “You just gotta be shameless about it,” says Dan. Whether it’s balancing parenthood or playing the numbers game, Dan and Aymann share practical ways to put yourself out there, even if it means being a little bit vulnerable. If you liked this episode, check out <a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/how-to/2020/01/girl-wash-your-face-author-rachel-hollis-breadwinner">How To Put Your Wife's Career First</a>. Do you have a problem that needs solving?
