How often do you seek out emotional support?

Rarely. Though a lot of that is due to few long-standing relationships with other guys.

How often are you vulnerable with other men that you’re platonic with?

Same as above. I have two friends that I can share things with that I’ve known for about a decade each from college, but those kinds of topics rarely surface amongst us. I have another friend I’ve known for about two years now that we can go deep on conversations like that as fellow leftists who have tried to understand mental health and trauma and things like transformative and restorative justice in group settings and relationships, but I moved a long ways away from that relationship and we talk a lot less. Plus our time knowing each other is much shorter, so there are just a lot of things we likely don’t know about each other and our pasts and such. Without understanding the history as well, it makes it harder to relate and attempt to diagnose issues.

One more thing to add - my experiences with these conversations is always pretty amazing honestly. I feel like they’re super healthy for stronger relationships, and I’ve gotten to know my friends much better through these talks.
