Published on July 19, 2019, a woman shared her concerns about the growing influence of 'the boyz' in men's lives, which she believes is causing problems in relationships.

She noted that men's friendships have become more important than their relationships with women, and that they often prioritize time with their male friends over quality time with their partners and families.

According to her, men's 'boyz' have become their go-to advisors, career mentors, and even relationship counselors, often dictating how women should behave and what they should do.

She also shared a personal anecdote about a friend whose husband spent most of his free time with his 'boyz', leaving her with only a few hours of quality time per week.

Men need to recognize the importance of being individuals and not relying solely on their male friends for advice and companionship, she argued.
