Advice younger to older on bromance?

We have much to learn from millennials. Im in my 50s, have needed strong male friends and have suffered from straight men thinking I was gay for it and gay men thinking I needed to come out of the closet. By nature, its been emotional and physical rather than sexual.

Heres a link and quote from an interesting article exploring how men in Great Britain have pushed the limits of traditional straight male friendship to include kissing and cuddling.

Its just not gay men and women whove benefited from advances in gay rights over the past decade. Wider acceptance of homosexuality has allowed straight men to forge deeper emotional bonds with each other, Robinsons study finds.

How do you younger men advise us older ones (regardless of sexual prefix) to develop stronger friendship bonds?

My last relationship he was 15 yrs my senior, it lasted for 28 yrs until he passed from cancer.
I don't have a problem with any of the reasons you listed.
My problem is where do you meet younger men?
