Men are horrible conversationalists. A guy will ask you out, tell you everything about himself and won’t ask you a single thing about yourself💀

The gap between male friendships and female friendships is also what plays a huge part in “the friend zone”. Women ask and answer questions and do emotional labour for each other while men don’t do that with each other so when a man and woman become friends she’s offering him a deeper level of friendship that men dont offer each other. So he’s been offered emotional labour and delving deeper and to him hat isn’t friendship that’s more so he starts to catch feelings while she’s just doing what she usually does in friendships and thus creates the friendzone.

This idea that the way women handle friendships is somehow superior to how men do it is asinine. Male friendships aren’t lesser just because they’re built on action, shared experience, and loyalty instead of constant emotional probing. We connect differently not worse. Just because we don’t treat every conversation like a therapy session doesn’t mean we lack depth. Some of the strongest bonds out there are between men who say little but do everything when it counts. Stop acting like difference equals dysfunction.

The fact that men have to “train” themselves to care about people is wild to me

‘Socialised into bonds that are formed side to side, not face to face’ - mind blowing.

I'm not convinced these are actually friendships, when they're formed around hobbies and interests only, and they know nothing about each other's lives. Maybe we need a new word for this, like: hobbyship

My husband has a weekly PlayStation “date” with his lifelong friend. After these, I ask him about his friends life, his new baby, wife etc and he often says they didn’t even talk about these things at all

100% agree men can't view follow ups as invasive. I think their is an energy spend to being vulnerable/open and sometimes men need that scaffolding to get up above life's problems and for a time be free of the weight of things.
1 friend broke up with his gf. I left dinner not knowing anything deeper than, it wasn't working.
Think as men we confuse deeper with prying and don't want to pick at a sore point.

Dating apps for 4 years. Men ages 28-50 cannot hold or maintain a conversation. They’re not curious. Cannot communicate. And honestly there isn’t even kindness or empathy present in them. I’m convinced most men don’t even like women, or at the very least don’t see them as a human being. It’s horrifying and sad. But I don’t care. I’ve lost all empathy

its so sad how differently socialised men are. i'm not particularly sympathetic to men but i cant imagine how isolating it feels to be so emotionally distant from your friends. its not that its easy to be vulnerable when you're a woman, but you get accustomed to it and its a lot easier to take that first step when the people around you are being vulnerable as well.

A male friend of mine is on holiday atm. My gf asked where they’re going. I had no idea. I got the information of holiday and that was that. He and I were playing BG3 at the time…

It comes down to vulnerability. Male relationships are cooperative without vulnerability. This is different to trust as well. Male relationships are often high trust which is why the breaching of these boundaries can feel extreme.

Yes it’s why they don’t feel settled without a romantic partner because they aren’t fulfilled by their friendships

So asking your buddy a question is prying but asking a woman what kind of underwear she's wearing is not

I swear, people come here and just generalize 🙄. I’ve had women tell me I ask too many questions 😅 like, how else is someone supposed to get to know you? But I never let that stop me from asking. And I don’t lump all women together or assume they’re hard to get to know either.

I think we can go deeper.. do you think men lack curiosity about others? My experience is that their curiosity is satiated a lot quicker than women. I think curiosity is a muscle that has atrophied in men. :(

Makes so much sense! Everytime my husband tells me something our mutual friend told him, he has no further details! Like, our friend’s partner is sick and in hospital. Doesn’t know why, where, how long..! Drives me batty!
