[quote=scaredyclassic]Is this intrinsic to men or is the above description the result of the last generation of mothers screwing with their sons heads.
I say the latter.
History is replete with great friendships of men. The above post sounds like men can’t be friends because they aren’t “nice”.[/quote]
Having the same confidence-with-guy-friends issue as scaredy and having had a mother who looked down upon any kind of manliness, I’m going to agree with scaredy here.
“Nice” (I use the word “nice” but what I really mean is closer to “good friend”) among men might look different from “nice” among women. What might look to a woman like a man being nice to another man might look to the recipient man not like nice at all. And what might look to a woman like a man being “not nice” to another man might feel like gold to that other man. A woman is not in a position to judge that. She never has been and never will be.
