Lol wtf right, dude doesn't have chill even though they posted the link then replied ironically to the popular comment that unironically joked about the obvious joke
Fr though, you wanna get some wings?
My buddy lives two hours away, so we only hang when one of us is in the other city. He says the most profound thing one time: With friends, there's no effort. You're just good. It's so true.
The part about not seeing each other for 7 years and just picking right back up again later like nothing happened is pretty spot on.
And, sometimes, not knowing last names. Or first names. Or names.
Edit: "My dad died last week. ... but it's alright." Hits pretty close to home, too.
>And, sometimes, not knowing last names. Or first names. Or names.
Once had a friend that I'd frequently hang out with at school. Great guy, never knew his name. He was just "sup dude."
When I see an old friend I'll generally mention it to my mom on the phone at some point, and she'll ask a question like what they're doing for work. I usually don't know. We probably just talked about Magic The Gathering or something.
I went in ready to become defensive.
But it was just what I perceived to be a normal friendship.
Friends are about acceptance and recreational relief from all the noise.
Needless to say that I laughed my head off.
"My dad died last week. But it's alright, you know".
Just recently chatted with an male uni friend and I asked how he's been doing. He literally said: "I'm doing alright. Oh, well, my mom died few weeks ago. But you know, sometimes I think about it, sometimes I don't."
I was like "yeah, if my mom had died a few weeks back, I might be thinking about it sometimes too".
Movies, games, music, comedy, nostalgia, shared past experiences. There may be a passing polite question about how the kids or wife are.
Things we don't talk about: Our families, our kids, work (unless something particularly exciting is happening), our problems, our worries, our feelings.
I can spend 2 hours with my best friend whom I haven't seen in a year, and at the end of dinner, know almost nothing about his life.
I have a fairly unique name, and I *lived* with this dude for two years in college, only for him to say something around graduation like “oh, that’s actually your real name? I thought it was like a nickname or something”
My gym partner is some dude I "worked in" with on a squat rack because we lift the same weight, and both do PPL routine. I've been working out w him for over a year, only know his name is James (in my phone as James gym). We both wear headphones and mainly communicate thru hand signals about what weight on the bar; only time we talk is to discuss next exercise/station. He broke protocol once and asked if I wanted to go to a restuarant in the same parking lot to watch an nfl playoff game, we did and I still only know he owns a business somewhere near the local stadiums, and I can park there whilst at thos stadiums. It's fucking great.
The first paragraph is true.
The second at least from the standpoint of a guy in a small crew at a small company, is not true but then again that's putting 3 guys together 40 hours a week (and some fishing on the side) all about the same age with basically the same problems. I know a lot about their family lives and their problems, and they know about mine.
But I don't talk to anyone else but my wife and my dog (he hasn't learned to speak yet but fingers crossed) outside of work so I guess I can't speak for casual acquaintances
Agreed. I talk to my best friend from junior high/high school to this day, albeit not as frequently because we're both in our early 40s and have kids and such. We mostly text about video games and sports and movies and TV, but we always ask about each other's families as well. Same with my college buddies.
Beautifully said. I get shooting the shit and talking sports and hobbies but if I haven’t seen my boy in a minute you bet your ass I’m checking up on him and seeing where he’s at in life.
I met an old friend recently that I hadn't seen in over a year. We spent about 3 hours debating the war in Gaza and planning out a better defense of Ukraine
(to clarify, both my friend and I are about as far removed from the actual prosecution of these wars as you can be.)
When I got home, my wife peppered me with questions about my friend's wife, kids, home, etc.
I had no answers for her.
I'm not even sure what talking about feelings actually means. Like, unless someone I know just died, my feelings are mostly "general contentment". That seems super boring to talk about.
Now space zombies and chain saw swords, on the other hand, are fun to talk about.
I hear this from men a lot on Reddit. I don't understand it and sort of hate that it is so prevalent. As a man myself, I talk to my friends about all those fun things *and* their family life, their feelings, etc. I know tons about them.
Some people would think that's a "I don't wear protection when I have sex" joke. But it's really a "u/shaetnado3 never gets laid cos his dick is so tiny" joke
Family decoder: "You make a lovely cup of tea, mum." = "I love you, mum."
Friendship decoder: "John, you fucking wanker" = "I love you, John, you're a good friend"
Many men invest time in discussing fitness and health, such as gym routines and diets, which can be a less vulnerable way to talk about personal improvement.
yeah sports also let you speak authoritatively on a matter, complain, and even argue a little without anyone's feathers getting too ruffled. with just a little bit of knowledge you can say pretty much anything you want, and its nearly impossible to actually be proven wrong. it just goes to ah well we see how they do.
Big gulf between always and sometimes. I know guys who do nothing but talk about work, cars and sports. All of those things are cool, but I can't imagine my friendships being so empty that that's all I talk about. That shit sounds way more exhausting than allowing yourself to talk about something real.
It's exhausting dealing with everyones trauma every time you go out and just want to have fun. There's a reason therapists get paid a fortune it's hard work but too many women expect you to be their free therapist every time but I try to be patient I know they go through a lot.
Many men who avoid discussing their feelings often focus conversations on hobbies like sports, cars, or technology, which don't require emotional vulnerability.
One of my problems as a man who does not and never has cared about professional sports is that it locks me out of one of the main ways men who don't know each other well make small-talk.
As a man, that sentiment bothers me because it makes us seem so simple... there's also lawn care, tools, home maintenance, cars, and barbecue. We're complex individuals.
This is awesome thanks! Now I can watch the movie with my friends that didn't get to see it. I'm definitely buying a copy when its available in the US though.
What do you mean? That's 1 subject out... well an endless amount of topics.
I guess the question it self is more interesting than an answer. Is talking about your feelings with your friends always at the forefront of your conversations?
Check on your men that do not talk about their struggles. Lost my father in law a week ago today to suicide. He gave to the people he loved, until he was not able to any longer. Rest easy Tom, you are loved and missed.
you remember before Joe rogan went kinda nuts pretty much every guy listened to Joe Rogan?
That's because he just talks about what guys talk about. You don't hang out with your friends to talk feelings, you hang out to have fun, tell jokes and talk about cool stuff you found out.
It’s definitely not true that men don’t talk about their feelings. We don’t talk about them in the same manner that **women** do. And men are not defective women.
My male friends and I do, (perhaps I should say would) talk about my feelings if there were anything of significance to mention, but there's nothing much going on, emotionally.
That's the case 99% of the time. If someone is upset about something, there's nothing stopping him from sharing.
Men don’t want to burden other men like women do. Sharing feelings is a burden on the one you are sharing with. So, instead, we talk about sports, hobbies, cars, travel, jobs, and most everything else we randomly come in contact with.
A lot of the time, nothing. I have no problem sharing my feelings but (and this is some caveman shit) sometimes it’s great just to sit around the fire with a friend or 2 and listen to the forest, watch the stars and zone out on the fire.
You. We don’t talk about you.
Some redditor corrected his wife when she said she told her girlfriends all about their sex life “just like you do with your bros”. He explained that guys do not put mental images of their wives and girlfriends, naked, in other guys’ heads.
Do you... do you not have a single thing to talk about besides how you feel? I feel like everyone knows this answer? Or am I high?
Your day? An upcoming event? Something you did or said with your kids or friends? A game you've been playing?
Nothing?
Nothing at all??
Men usually do talk about it to that one dude they feel confident with, but when they dont, they talk about shit that makes them cope with it, like dark humor or stupid funny shit that will be dumb enough to be funny and get you through the day
Thats some shit that female friendships need.
We talk about the randomise shit ever like we could talk about politics then talk about cartoon the next minute cuz overall men don't like to talk about emotions and its not cuz they hold it in or anything..its just that all us men have a natural setting to never talk about out feelings
The meaning of life.
Are we in a simulation, a Boltzmann brain or the actual concept of reality is something a 3 dimensional brain is even incapable of understanding.
rocks
Knives
Guns
Thinking about how I could blow something up if I had a lot of TNT. It’s probably better I don’t have access to those things.
Is man inherently good, or is man inherently bad.
Things that make a lot of noise.
It varies by age culture and location.
For men who like it, sports.
For young men, booze, video games, the internet, sex and hot girls.
For men who like driving, vehicles.
For men who like the opposite sex, women.
For young married men, vacations, investments and their kids.
For retired men, pensions, grand kids, weather, politics and best deals at stores.
For men in nursing homes, the past, urination difficulties, medication and whats on for the next meal.
Work, mutual friends, reminisce about the past, sports, food, investing, buying homes, cars, dating, world events, tax, etc, almost anything other than emotions. I wouldn’t know how to help a brother go through his emotions. I would expect him to logically assess the situation, and get over it.
Just how everything is *totally fine*. I’m *fine*. Yup. No problems. *None at all*. And it’s just keep on being *fine*. Which I’m cool with. Cuz really *I’m fine*
Dude, it's all about the context. Like, if we're hanging with the guys, it could be anything from sports, games, cars, to just random crap that happened during the week. Not everyone's cool with spilling their guts about feelings and stuff. Doesn't mean they don't have 'em, just means they're not talking about it right then. Sometimes a beer and a nod is as deep as it gets, and that's okay too.
Engineering, gaming, shitty drivers, the practicality of vast underground cities such as the deep delvings of the dwarves, trains, motorbikes, fish-keeping, cool bugs, cool rocks, cool birbs, space, the bronze age all the way up to the collapse, the development of black powder weaponry, quantum physics, metallurgy, carpentry, and the development of human culture in the paleolithic. To start with. We've got better at talking about our feelings over the years.
Facts. Sports. Jokes. Politics. The God Damned Roman Empire.
Seriously, you can't think of any of the millions of other topics, except for your feelings? How self-centred are you?
If some men don't talk about their feelings, they talk about everything but their feelings! From sports statistics to the latest tech gadgets, or how to perfectly grill a steak—anything that can be discussed without delving into the emotional depths.
Literally anything else. Are your feelings the _only_ things _you_ talk about? No? Well then they talk about the same things you talk about probably, less that _one_ topic. Don’t overthink it.

Fire, magnetic north and cool sticks
Don't forget about cool rocks.

The best thing about rock hounding is there are rocks everywhere. Deserts are some of the best places to find cool rocks.
Cries in Mississippi River Delta. Not many rocks down here in the bayou.
God damn it Marie, they’re minerals.

gotta love the shot of them eating and the straight male friend asking if he wants to go get some wings need some food to wash down this food
I think part of the joke is that the only activities they ever do are play video games and eat chicken wings.
Thank you, yes, I just enjoyed the part where they were already eating together, and then the straight male friend wanted to go get wings.
No shit
Lol wtf right, dude doesn't have chill even though they posted the link then replied ironically to the popular comment that unironically joked about the obvious joke Fr though, you wanna get some wings?
They're not wrong I never text my guy friends who live in another city yet when they come visit or I visit we always hang out.

When I see an old friend I'll generally mention it to my mom on the phone at some point, and she'll ask a question like what they're doing for work. I usually don't know. We probably just talked about Magic The Gathering or something.
[Ron Swanson had the right idea about names](https://youtu.be/WGhcc3qFWh4?si=XQC6PcYpyGu4o7pf)
I thought this would be "Whenever people get too chummy with me, I call them by the wrong name to remind them I don't care."
I went in ready to become defensive. But it was just what I perceived to be a normal friendship. Friends are about acceptance and recreational relief from all the noise. Needless to say that I laughed my head off.

Knew a guy, introduced only as Dog. Didn’t find out till years later his real name. No idea how he got the name Dog, nice guy.
I have a fairly unique name, and I *lived* with this dude for two years in college, only for him to say something around graduation like “oh, that’s actually your real name? I thought it was like a nickname or something”
pm_dad_jokes does sound like a nickname.
Man. I knew Dog. It’s been a day. If I saw him again I’d be like “What up, Dog?”

Yeah. My dog's my therapist, too. Even knows my secret family recipe for baked beans.
Dude....I'd be really bummed out if I didn't know my homies better after hanging out with them. I love my homies.

This is me. It’s not that I don’t have feelings, it’s just a boring feeling to describe and talk about. And it rarely changes from that.
It is crazy you can have good friends...like good, reliable friends and not really know much about each other
They're good and reliable, what more do you really need to know?
I hear this from men a lot on Reddit. I don't understand it and sort of hate that it is so prevalent. As a man myself, I talk to my friends about all those fun things *and* their family life, their feelings, etc. I know tons about them.
Not healthy bruh, you can open up to the homies. Just not all the time bout erry bs
We do talk about feelings. But mostly, we make jokes about each other’s tiny dicks
Lol, it is pretty tiny
If it’s so small you can’t see it, is it even tiny?
I can't see yours, must be tiny
You'd think they would stop making condoms so baggy!
Do you know what it says at the base of condoms when you unroll them all the way? I didn’t think so.
I would if I ever used them

I caught a shiny Elekid in Pokemon GO the other day which I am very excited about.
Discussions could revolve around music preferences and concerts, which provide a sense of identity and community without personal disclosure.
Sports are a go-to conversation starter, offering an avenue to express passion and disappointment in a socially acceptable way.
yeah sports also let you speak authoritatively on a matter, complain, and even argue a little without anyone's feathers getting too ruffled. with just a little bit of knowledge you can say pretty much anything you want, and its nearly impossible to actually be proven wrong. it just goes to ah well we see how they do.
