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).
See this is why men collaborate on being crazy together at the same time. I think it's called "politics."
Unnecessarily gendered?
So male friendship is then taking turns being an idiot.
If you collaborate then you can be simultaneously crazy for longer - it's multiplicative based on the number of participants. I'm pretty sure the world record is 9,654 years and still going strong.
Just guys being dudes
