Agreed, I was expecting more substance from this article.
I don't think its much of a stretch to view friendship as a concrete social problem. Especially good friendships in our professional spheres which are vital to career fulfillment and health imo.
Anyway there was (sadly) nothing realistically actionable in this article for anyone seeking something even vaguely science or stat based.

It makes clear that there is no fixed procedure for making friends, but there certainly are a lot of suggestions. I suspect the many linked stories have a wealth of information and examples, but they will all be anecdotes where none of them could be forced to happen if we tried.
