They could go to orgies sometimes just for the drugs and the snacks. That’s how most gays make friends these days.

When I became a father, it really struck me how lonely lots of the other (straight) dads were. I made some good friends, but some men remain very emotionally unapproachable. It’s tough for me, I’m a lovey-dovey type of person and I need at least some of the same energy back to maintain a relationship. So not that many straight male friends for me, but the ones I have are much appreciated.

It’s kind of crazy how it feels like no one is expecting platonic friendships between men.

When I go to text guy friends “how are you” or “what are you doing” the suggested emojis are hearts and kissy lips.

I don’t even use those emojis asking people I’m dating how they’re doing, it’s kind of surreal.
