Am I less of a man?
I have always had a number of close female friends. My wife is very tolerant.

On the plus side, when you are friends with women, you get to sit around and hear there tales of seduction and other men's sexual inadequacy, which is always entertaining. Few things are better than hearing that one of your big-talking lothario pals has a tiny dick, shoots too soon, or is otherwise lousy in bed.

The weird thing is that being able to make friends with women is considered a little queer. One particularly sexy friend of mine told me I am "in touch with my feminine side" and told a friend that it was ok to speak freely around me because I was "one of the girls."

No one would mistake me for gay: I am married and have three kids, over six feet tall and hairy (I was told I was too scruffy to appeal to boys). But it has something to do with not conforming to a narrower "lad" stereotype of what it means to be a man, or a "jock" in North America. I don't give a fuck about sports, and I like books and music.

What I don't understand is why it is considered more masculine to sit in a lockeroom with a bunch of naked men talking about blowjobs than it is to be the one man in a room full of women talking about blowjobs.

But there you go.

Getting, not Giving
Umm, maybe because the guys are talking about getting blowjobs, and the girls are talking about giving them?

Also, if you're not getting erections from the girls sexy talk, then you might have some unresolved issues, yes.

Feminine snyde?
I don't know, but if one of my mates started talking about who gives the best blowjobs, I would think he was less than a Gentleman. He would be an Asshole of the first water.

However, the same goes for the ladies.

What do you think your Wife talks about with these girls behind your back. Just a thought. ps Happy New Year

When you're not there...
Your wife tells them just how crap you are in bed and that she thinks you are a closet fudge nudger.

Stay ignorant, talk to blokes.

This kind of evaded the question...
and turned into a self-absorbed narcissistic rant, no?
