Mostly because I grew up in the south and have never had a problem with this, but have witnessed a LOT of men who do.

Can you acknowledge when another man is really good looking?

Do you tell your bros that you love them?

yes to the first one, but not really to the second.

the only people I tell "I love you" to are my mom and aunts.

I interpreted it as in general.

To be fair, it's more of a "love ya, man" and usually after a few drinks

Yes, and on occasion. If there's a particularly sappy convo going on it tends to end with someone saying ya'll are my family and love you guys and stuff like that.

Then people make fun of them and we all chuckle and move about our lives.

For me its sober or otherwise. To be fair, my two best friends and I have known each other for 20 years and still stay in contact and meetup when we can.

In general I don't think about telling my boys that I love them but some do say it sometimes and I reciprocate but yeah just depends on the person.

My closest friend hits me with an "I love you" pretty much every time we end a call and say bye

I felt kinda felt weird about it at first but it's down right adorable and I've grown to appreciate him for it

  1. yes, but your response must be "He's a good looking guy" stated with furled brow and with a questioning tone.
  2. Only, you're true brothers(you'd never refer to them as "bros"). Everytime you say it, the words mean less, so save it for when it matters most.

I can honestly say that Ive never been insecure about my sexuality.

Nor have I ever given thought to insecure people who think expressing emotions for your best friends makes you a homosexual.

I wholeheartedly disagree on number 2, but I do agree that you should reserve that word for people that you actually do love.

Well, I can identify when they look bad. I tend to associate conventional stylishness negatively, though. It's just not something I've ever prioritized. Maybe subconsciously it's jealousy or something, Iunno.

LonelyStoner posted...
Do you tell your bros that you love them?
Of course. When it's true, that is. Seems to me this struggle would be a failure of understand of the English language.

I can see why women would find a guy attractive, yes.

I dont have any close guy friends. Acquaintances, really. My best friend is a woman. All my close friends are women.

I acknowledge when other men look good, when they have a look that I am like, "Damn I'd love to look like that"

I also tell my male friends I love them. I do love them. They are amazing people.

In a general sense yeah I can tell when a man is attractive. But most people can do that. I am often surprised tho. The rough around the edges attraction that some women have is definitely hard for me to pinpoint

Q1: Yep, no problem. Like Idris Elba is a good looking dude and I have no problem admitting that.

Q2: Also yep. I tell my best friend "love you bro" all the time (all completely sober). I've known that dude for 24 years and he always has my back if I need it and vice versa.

I won't fault anyone who doesn't do those things, but the guys who get really upset by it are definitely insecure. You don't have to do it, but getting upset by it is something else lol

Absolutely to both. I can acknowledge when a dude looks attractive. My friends and I all have a list of male celebrity crushes, even though were all straight.
Ive only told my best friend that I love him, though. Weve been friends for like, 30 years so when its appropriate, or when Im drunk enough Ill let out a good I love you man/bro/dude, yknow?

I had a good friend who was one of those mythical 10/10s. Like constant double takes, if you said his name people started looking around for him types.

I have no problem saying he's an incredibly attractive guy. And I also tell the homies that I love them. Somebody has to at this point.

So, for me and most guys i grew up with, bros were the shitheads you got drunk with while you were avoiding your responsibilities. Definitely, no real depth in those relationships just the stereotypical things you see in media about male relationships.

For me, I absolutely got fucked up with my two best friends during our teen years, but weve all three grown since then and maintained healthy friendships while cutting off others in our circle that couldnt.

Weve gotten each other through very difficult times. An ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, etc.

Its not as common with other people, but if you have someone like that you should maintain contact.

Idk. Hes got a great jaw and a handsome face.

I think a better person for that example would be Walton Goggins. Hes unconventionally attractive and his personality/confidence/charm gets him everywhere.

Cillian Murphy is like that for me. Like I didn't think he's got 10/10 good looks, but damn his charisma puts him up there.
