QdB Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Man I wish all the guys on LS that's been burned could just go to a bar and down a few beers and talk about this stuff face to face. What our expirence was, what we learned, everything. Women do it all the time. Vent to there group of friends and have their feelings validated by them and even still come here for support. As men we tend to bury it unless we need to vent and we do so here. Think about her all day but never share it with anyone. Most of our friends aren't gonna want to talk about this crap so we can't share everything with them. The only dudes that will talk with you about this are men who've been burned recently or been burned so bad that they still can't let go after a long time. We should use a better support system than we tend to do. LS is helping me a lot but imagine if you could really discuss this with a group in person...like women do. I know nxt time one of my friends gets burned by a woman ill be there for him in whatever way he may need. I'm not an emotionally guy AT ALL but damn dealing with lost love has to be the worst pain one has to endure. Shouldn't have to do it alone
Sav Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 I dont know about other men but i talk to my female friends and they are more than willing to listen
Author QdB Posted November 15, 2012 Author Posted November 15, 2012 I dont know about other men but i talk to my female friends and they are more than willing to listen Yea I have too but they've been more like a listening ear to me than someone who can relate to me. Women love different so they don't understand me quite as much as a fellow man would who's in or been in a the same situation in life. So advice I more in depth and besides...sometimes a woman's advice can be shaky because they tend to romanticize. For instance my sister (close friend I grew up around) still tells me I shouldn't give up lol horrible advice but par for the source giving it
Mme. Chaucer Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 There is NO reason why you shouldn't. You SHOULD. You're not the only guy who feels that way. Male friendships can have an emotional level to them, too, even though it's not society's "norm."
Sav Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Well, I think it's better for men to get the viewpoint of women because honestly, we men are quite blunt and tactless, not to mention dense when it comes to certain stuff. Having a female friend can actually help you see things from a woman's point of view and why the relationship did not work out from their viewpoint.

Especially if the woman was older and has experience
