Question for the men out there: Why would a man withhold this information (above) from his BMF of 30 years? .............and.........How much does your BMF's opinion influence your decisions?
Other men feel free to chime in, but I think it is b/c we men don't usually talk about that kind of stuff to other men. Women (I think) tend to discuss with other women friends how they are doing, feeling, etc. Men just don't. We tend to talk about sports, news, work, maybe about the kids some, but not our R's. We just aren't programmed that way.
I think this is why my W is amazed when I have a conversation with a man friend, and she asks how's he doing? Response: Good. W: Well, what about X, Y or Z? Me: Well, I don't know, we didn't talk about that. W: What DID you talk about? Me: Just small talk.
