So what do you do?

So you want for whatever reason - there are many good ones- to be closer to men. You have felt it in the past - mostly during a conversation after everyone else fell asleep around a campfire, walking home from the movie with a buddy at night. or on the walk home after your school won the big game. You felt really close but that was hard to recapture later -- but still, you remembered and treated each other with more respect.

I am pretty convinced at this point that male bonding isn't magic and doesn't just happen. I think it happens less now because we pay little attention to it and each other. So much of our lives are digital and disconnected.

What do you actually do to bond with other men? ( I doubt writing posts in Forums really counts) How do you connect and stay connected?

RE:So what do you do?

So let me see if I got it: The point being is bonding - deepening your relationship with men. your relationship

Invest the time -- Isn't instant - takes time together - and your visits are long -- like the whole day and maybe the night before
How important is being naked? Are you all nudists?
Physical intimacy -- massage and washing each other.
What part does sharing meals - watching ball games - is that part of sharing time together?
So How do you feel about these friends from doing this? Do you feel like you know them better? - more kinship? Are these men important to you? How is your relationship with these men different from other male friends you have?

Thanks
