Five things men do not do with other men

I always have funny conversations with my homeboys. We can also chat for extended periods of time on the phone. This week the topic of discussion was what guys don't do with other guys but may do with chicks that they are friends with.

5 THINGS MEN DO NOT DO WITH OTHER MEN

1. Sit next to each other in a movie theater



"Guy's shouldn't sit next to other single random guys. If you see another single random guy, pick a different row. In fact pick a different auditorium. And if you attend the movie with another guy, put an empty seat between yourselves and use it to store your jackets, umbrellas, popcorn bags, candy boxes, etc."
For some reason, I found this absolutely hilarious. However, I have heard it from so many guys that I guess it must be true. Men do not sit next to each other in movie theaters. They leave a seat in between no matter how many of them go to the movies together.

2. Talk on the phone longer than 5 minutes


Whereas I can spend hours on end talking to my homeboys, they don't talk to each other that much...apparently. 
Depends mainly on the frequency. I talk to one never married no kids friend every other day for about 5 minutes but my divorced one daughter college roommate I talk to about once a month for damn-near an hour.--B.G.
3. Cry about their girlfriends


I've come to the conclusion that the reason many men do not know how much men whine and complain about their relationships is because they never show that side to each other. I get most of my relationship topics from men. They email me, call me, text me, FB inbox me, tweet DM me, etc. with a lot of questions and complaints. But if I bring up the same topics in front of a room full of men, they will feign amnesia! Then they swear up and down that "men don't work like that"! You're BSing me! LOL. Y'all DO work like that and you try to keep it on the low! 

4. Reveal their shortcomings 


I get it. There is a pride and ego thing that goes on between men. Since they were able to walk, many men have been in a day to day battle for dominance. Think about how boys play...everything is a competition. "I bet I can run faster, throw further and drink more water than you..." Or burp louder, make more arm fart sounds without stopping, hold my breath longer... You get the picture.

As the female friend, I may know that he's still trying to figure out his way in life, but another man? Ha! Nah that dude will not know that buddy is coming up short in any area!

5. Be compassionate 


I know I can lean on my guy friends' shoulders while crying rivers full of tears. But I seriously doubt I will ever see another dude blowing snot bubbles on any of their t-shirts.


What are some other things you think a guy may do with his female friend but not his male friend?
