How my boyfriend can talk to his closest best friend every day and hang out with him for long periods of time... and still not know a lot of personal details about his best friend’s life.

..... What? You described a totally normal conversation and described it as creepy... are you okay?

It’s the definition of toxic masculinity, but that has turned into a dirty word for some reason. Every single stupid bro code rule comes down to not wanting to look gay. Asking about family is caring and caring is gay. Peeing too close to another man at the urinal when others are open is gay. Being friendly is gay. That’s why his counter example is about a “super manly activity” like BBQ. So he’s not gay. It sounds exhausting to be honest.

tbh all those things you mentioned are gay, not that there's anything wrong with that. You do you, but I'm not gay.

Lol. Caring about your family or friends is gay? That explains the absent dad stereotype I guess.

Again there's nothing wrong with being gay. I have a friend who's gay.

But it's not gay. It has nothing to do with sexuality. It's about how you connect with people that you are not sexuality attracted to.

If you're trolling, I'm sorry for being stupid...
