So are we like girl friends or guy friends
I once studied the difference between guy friendships and girl friendships. (Yes, there are advanced degrees in that. No, you can't have mine. They actually take more work to earn than you think.) I wouldn't say that I uncovered anything surprising, but sometimes having the obvious pointed out in quantitative measure is startling none the same. It turns out that girl friends relate to each other through conversation. That's right. Girls-talk makes the relationship. SPOILER ALERT: Guys don't relate that way. They connect through activities. As a result, if a girl hasn't talked to a girl friend in a while, well, that friendship is O-V-E-R. But guys? Guys take a different approach. They, like Dwayne Wade, take the inbound pass like no time has passed. They are just one pick-up game away from renewed understanding and connection. They can pick up right where they left off. That leaves this question: Are we "guy friends" or "girl friends?" Can we pick up right where we left off? Or will we hold a grudge, and say nice things but secretly devise the demise of this blog? Time, or passive aggressive behavior, will tell.
