Because modern therapy is based off methods designed to treat women by talking about something face to face. Men don't do this.
Men share problems the same way they share burdens: shoulder to shoulder.
If you are a guy and one of your friends is going through shit the second best thing you can do is not ask about it. The best thing you can do is spend time with your friend doing stuff like hiking/exercising until he feels ready to bring up whatever is going on. But I bet you he won't be facing you when he starts talking about it and might never do.
Exactly. Talking is overrated. Much of it is pointless fluff. Taking your buddy out shooting, going to the gym or a sauna together is much more effective at reducing stress.

I think that might be a tad too far. Having a deep conversation with a friend, that helps them sort themselves out, and find a way of fixing what's wrong is very beneficial. Just talking for talking or de-stressing is a different issue. Your friend might actually want help, rather than just want you to listen to him bitch.
