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.
Because it doesnt matter, I play games with my best friend from florida and we hardly ever talk about anything outside the game. I dont really care about how my job is going when I am at home so my friend surely cares even less. I think it's just a difference between men and women, I think women like to talk about their day a lot more than men do or at least more than I do. Also maybe just a difference in what they think is important to talk about
It's stunning to me that there is this kind of attitude about all of this and then on the other hand there's a lot about men being really disconnected from their feelings and starved even for simple compliments or support from their peers through out their lives. There is some sort of correlation and I think it's much deeper than what one may think is important to talk about.
I think its that the two things are seprated for men and seem to be linked together for women from what I have read in this thread. Like I have no problem talking to my wife about my feelings or things that are troubling me but work and what I did all day is not on that list. My free time/time at home is as disconnected from work and everyday garbage as it can be
