Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Eh, I've known a number of het guys who are all talky about their feelings - with other guys, with girls, whoever will listen. And a few who are specifically more comfortable talking about emotions with other guys than in mixed company.

If I were totally settling back on stereotypes, I'd be saying straight guys don't talk about emotional stuff, but that's patently false. I just want data that they do it with each other.

Wait, am I supposed to punch Gud in the shoulder and give him manly advice?
I think we should talk about how that local sports team is doing.
Just punch. He'll know what you mean.
My anecdotal guys are mostly in their 30s, but some older and some younger.

Cubs suck. There, that was easy.
Hey, that's not my local sports team. Royals suck.
I googled and found some advice. So, speaking man-to-man,
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
