Male friendship is all about keeping each other company while collectively ignoring one's own and each other's ongoing emotional needs and trauma.
I dont really feel the need to talk about traumas with my guy friends. I like to have a good time and laugh instead. :)
Also when im at the gym, I think its great. Every guy is kind of quiet or having a good time with a friend.
The women i listened to were talking about some sad story and seemingly shared some difficult thing (I dont know for sure).
