Why don't we men support each other?

When we men are suffering and going through hard times we have no one to rely on or even talk to right? I was just thinking, why don't we ever talk and support each other? Its clear we can't open up to women even if they say we can but bros understand bros. We know what each other goes through. We understand the pain and hardships, we can relate and empathize. So why do we ignore each other? I'm not trying to be melodramatic or anything, its not like I've suffered trauma or loss of a loved one but I do understand pain. I understand loneliness, feeling worthless or unwanted, feeling like you're not enough that you'll never amount to anything, feeling that all the work and effort you put in is wasted and goes unnoticed. I've had sort of a crappy year, sort of why I'm spilling my guts. I wouldn't say I've had a great life but neither have I had a terrible life, I'd say more of a drab and mundane life. Devoid of meaning and purpose, just grinding away, stuck on survival mode.

It's not good for reproductive success

@JestAJester These types of men do not reliably mate so they do not pass on this trait. A man who is vulnerable among other men is likely highly conscientious which lends itself to being cautious to a fault. This lack of drive for a primal fulfillment is not attractive to women with that goal because he does not share it nor could he make good on the role since his alternative pursuits of success do not facilitate it. This man is more likely to take in an orphan or raise the child of another out of empathy for humanity. The women who do find him attractive will share his genetic demise because they think alike.
