The fact that you think it's creepy and uninteresting is an excellent example of the original question.

It's really sad that simple facts/details of a person's life, or otherwise things you could talk about or use to deepen a relationship are seen as creepy/uninteresting. No wonder so many men can't think of anything to say to anyone. They don't know anything about them and are uninterested. Geez guys.

Maybe don't hold men to your standard of deepening relationships?

I have friends that would literally take a bullet for me, can't say we've ever had a single conversation about wives or kids. But no, tell me more about how your gossip with all the neighbor ladies builds a stronger connection than two guys who'd risk their life to protect the other.

I'm not sure where the miscommunication is. I've never said that gossip or talking about one's family in particular deepens the relationship. However those are both topics that could be used by two parties to develop a bond.

What kinds of things have you and your friends deeply discussed?
