    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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

          Lmao you could have just written “it’s not that serious bro” like the worthless bottom of the barrel dumbfuck you are. Now tell your moral and intellectual superior how serious an idiot has to take itself to respond like you did.

        Low maintenance friendships are the best ships 🛳️

        I’m no psychoanalyst but it sounds like someone is insecure in their ability to love and be loved and would prefer to guarantee a balanced reciprocity of low effort on both sides.

        Maybe we should think about these memes less as complex thought-out statements, and more as reflections of the times they are created in, just like all art.

        I think homosexuality has reached a level of societal acceptance(at least in the west), that it is ok to be ironically homophobic again.

        Then again, some might argue that being against nazis was a societal norm, so being ironically nazi was fine too. Yet here we are now, where being unironically nazi is somewhat acceptable by a large part of the society.

        I wouldn’t say this is an insane take from that person, or misandrist really. I have no other meanings in regards to what that person says, but in this case this is a sensible take.

        The whole meme is about how women are “hysterical” and overly emotional. While men are calm and chill creatures.

        It caters to stereotypes that view women in a negative light. I know exactly zero women who act like this. Most women are calm and chill people as well. Unless you of course call them hysterical or overly emotional, then they can rightfully get a bit mad. You would probably react that way also. It kinda infantalizes you.

        I would as a man, expect my best friend to tell me if he’s moving, expecting a child, or is getting married, within a reasonable timeframe. That is within a couple of months.

    Stereotypes, get your stereotypes, fresh gender stereotypes right here.

    Men who don’t marry are gay and woman are always mad at each other over nothing.

      Also it’s not manly to share your life with a friend apparently.

      I’m 40+ and a couple of months ago started therapy. I didn’t even knew I needed therapy, went with my wife for couple therapy and it quickly turned into personal therapy.

      What I learned after some tests is that I fall into the top 4% of men who are emotional closed off. This is pretty extreme, but maybe the worst part is, I never even knew. This is the stereotype we teach boys, men don’t have emotions, they don’t talk about emotions, etc.

        How about transitioning to a woman, then marrying their female best friend? I feel like that would at least be slightly less gay

          It is a little weird when you meet an old friend and they are now trans

          I respect but it was a culture shock
