I am interested in male-male (straight) friendships. Particularly any comments from those (men) out there who have a very close and meaningful relationship with another male. Am particularly interested in any crises in the friendship, or personal crises that have been shared in the partnership, and/or discussions with the other person on the quality or mutual meaning of the friendship. Do men VERBALLY exchange messages of caring, tenderness, etc? Or in what various ways is love shown for the other guy? Any comments and expressions of feelings and awareness of the other would be of interest. Do any of you ever feel particularly "tuned in" to another man, emotionally, mentally, etc. Info needed for research project.
