Abstract
Outsourcing relationality through gender relations was not enough to fully satisfy the masculine need for meaningful bonds, however. This chapter contends that men also needed to perform this unacknowledged side of their identity through other means. Throughout history, males have joined all kinds of peer groups, from craftsmen’s guilds and bands of warriors to professional associations or sports supporter clubs. In this chapter, archaeological and historical evidence will be used to demonstrate that when men separated themselves from the collective (in their individuation process), they always joined another group (acting relational identity), as it is impossible to remain completely alone.
