I like the ceegar idea, I have a few here I need to fire up on the roof, barring a nude hangout.
The male bonding i've enjoyed most has been hanging around a patio table on a warm summer night with a small group of guys, just talking, maybe after a low-key board game or two. It's then I've really felt the bonding, and it has a certain power and "magic" to it.I haven't been naked camping and would really like to do this to try out the bonding experience by the campfire. Just have to find the buddy/s to go, the place, and an open three-day weekend.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with you, Timborn - most men (heck, PEOPLE) do not know how to be real friends, as in the "talk about anything" and "call me anytime you need me, I have your back, you have mine" type.Although bonding is part of how those kind of friends are made and maintained, it's not all of it - gotta be open, mentally and emotionally, too.
I like a lot of the ideas you guys have put out there. The ones I've had the most experience with are campfires and running with a good buddy of mine. I don't think I saw anyone else mention running in this thread. Two guys sweating and maybe doing a little suffering together along with the need to keep eyes mostly forward during a run can set up some great conversations. It's cool to see so many ways that guys bond on this thread. I guess any time it's all guys and we can let down our guard we an bond.
I love bonding with my buddy over a run. The conversations. The fatigue. And the rush afterwards is really excellent to share.
