Men confess: Shhh! Yes we discuss you with our male friends
It’s normal for women, blessed with the gift of gab, to share all with their female friends or family members. We know that as women, our friends are the go-to gals for everything from fashion advice to relationship drama consultations. But is it the same for men? Tradition has it that men are expected, for the most part, to be less inclined to share. But how do they vent? Do they discuss their women with their male friends?
Richard, 38:
I do. But that person has to be really close though. I can’t just sit down and chat mi girl with my homies just so. Mi best friend, yes, but not with a group of guys. I have to limit the number of persons who know my personal business.
Miles, 34:
A manly man wouldn’t do such a thing because he wants to appear as if he has everything under control. If he should talk about his personal business like that then he might be seen as soft, especially if he is the alpha male in the group. He would be more likely to ridicule the other guys in the group for having girl problems in the first place.
Tyrone, 36:
I don’t mind. As men we just joke and laugh about things most times. We offer each other advice on what to do in such a situation. Most times we will take our friends’ advice.
Gavin, 34:
I discuss my relationship with my friends all the time and they do the same as well. For us it is a good way to destress and to laugh about silly things. After a session with the guys, it’s amazing how great you feel. Just by talking to them you can get rid of all the pent up anger and frustration you might be experiencing.
Dilan, 29:
When you’re in a relationship it’s you and your woman and not the world. I believe that I should be able to talk to my partner about any issues that we are having before I decide to bring wi business go outta road.
Willy, 38:
Women love to do this but men don’t. And even if we do end up discussing our relationships with each other, man nuh carry news like how women do. Still you won’t tell your homies every juicy detail about your relationship, just enough so that you can receive some advice from them.
