Being a dad is hard—but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Dads Need Friends is a community where men connect, laugh, game, vent, and support each other through every season of fatherhood. Whether you’re a new dad, a seasoned pro, or somewhere in between, you belong here. Pull up a chair.
Stories shape men—and fathers shape stories.
The Archetypal Father explores the timeless truths about manhood, responsibility, sacrifice, and legacy as they appear in the art we already love: movies, books, poems, and more.

This isn’t just a blog—it’s a compass for dads who want to lead with purpose, live with honor, and find meaning in the modern world.
