Keep in mind they call each other bro because in 45 years they don't even know each others names since they met.

Would die for each other tho.

I have friends that i know for 10+ years and i don't know their real names

[–] RQG@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

I picked up an order at a stor for a long time friend the other day. They needed his last name. Luckily I was able to reach him via text.

I learned someone's name at work yesterday. We've been at the same location for like 8 months... and we have nametags...

When offer to go to lunch with someone you haven't seen in 15 years and they respond with as long as its not within 100ft of a school

also men: "WE HAVE A LONELINESS EPIDEMIC!"

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Yes. That's a big part of what's going on. A lot of men, particularly poor and middle class, have no real culture of interaction and have been told they are worth the money they make a month and nothing else.

And it’s ultimately insulting to men too, like the idea of being excited to share personal news is somehow anathema to the male experience.

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 23 points 6 days ago (5 children)

I don't know how serious one has to take themselves to find this "ultimately insulting". It's a silly meme and it's funny because most men can relate to it.

I enjoyed the stereotype to laugh it but I feel obligated to state one thing. Relationships require maintenance, that's it regardless of boy or girl. Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn't mean they're a friend.

[–] Dumbkid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 6 days ago

Idunno I have quite a few friends where we only interact like every 4-8 months ish. But when we do we talk everyday for a month or two, then go separate ways again. Lifes busy we all know that. Not being in contact does no mean losing a friend.

Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn't mean they're a friend.

True. But I've had some great friendships grow after years of just "hi" in passing. We weren't friends yet, but we were destined to become friends.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

True, but I also don't want to be friends with you if you get upset because I'm not constantly sharing my whole life story with you at all times.

I've had my share of high maintenance friends, and I burn out so quick.

As a woman, yeah i totally accidentally told my bros I got married a few years after the fact. In my defense we eloped and my friends and I sometimes go a few years without talking much

[–] oppy1984@lemm.ee 24 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Shit, that reminds me I should text my best friend, he might be a father by now.
