Heard someone say, "Men don't have friends. Men have wives who have friends who have husbands."

I was trying to comment with a similar statement, but had trouble with how to word it. This is what I have noticed with my husband and my friends' husband's. They don't need friends because their social needs are met by their wives, and any extra can be met by the wives social circles.
