Same problem.
First of all the problem is you: you're looking too much from platonic male friendship.
After you address that your expectations are too high for what you're looking in friendship, you can address other issues.
Find commonalities: sports. Even if you fucking hate football, it's good to be able to bullshit about it in the US and you can build friendships about that. Other than that, talk to groups of existing friends at places like music concerts, football games, gyms, etc.
Little by little those casual conversations turn into friendships once you realize your expectations right now are too high for what you consider a "friend."
