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 best part about this whole thing is that people ask people they are interested follow up questions. If he’s not asking follow ups you’re just his temporary entertainment

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.

Why wouldn’t people just share the information that they want to share?

Ah, I remember being afraid of asking follow up questions, not to be perceived as too prying, as a teenager.
And just yesterday I finished a relationship with a lovely man, because I felt completely invisible because he never asked any follow up questions.

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.

Idk it feels more surface level to yap about your life than to experience it together, through a shared risk or a shared goal. I’ve gotten along with girls through sports, group projects, even library reading… and then I allowed a surface level connection. Maybe adulting flipped the script

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.

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

It's so disheartening to try and connect with others on a deeper level and not be able to. I luckily have a very few select friends I can just sit with and talk. Or even when it was around playing magic, we would be able to go so much deeper. Now friendships with women? If it's not worship, then they typically don't want it.

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. :(

As a female, I do this as well. I want people to want to tell me things, not to ask questions that they may feel are invasive, so I end up talking about myself way too much waiting for them to say something.
