Is it normal for guys to talk to their female friends about girls?

I mean, I've had oodles of guy friends, and not all of them are very open about talking about their relationships or who they like.

Currently one of my guy friends has been pretty candid about talking to me about things like wanting a girlfriend, and sex. It's just sort of surprises me.

Do guys normally feel open about talking about these things (with their female friends) or do I just have weird guy friends? .-.

  • I talk to a female friend about my relationship. I don't talk about it to my guy friends, it would just be weird.

    If he does that...means one of two things. He's comfortable with you and he wants to keep talking as just friends.

    Or if he's sorta bragging about his achievements with his girl. He's being sneaky...talking as friends but setting up for you to like him incase things go down the crapper with his girl.

    I got a girl I've been just friends with for the last 7 years, she's been great. Gives great advice on girls even if I don't always follow it she's still there. So I think it's normal because that's what I do. But some dudes may say its not cause they like to bottle up crap and be all macho lol...

    A guy friend talks about his love interests openly to me, and I've liked him loads for the past two years. It feels like someone's pouring salt in an open wound practically, haha. I'd be thankful that he feels that comfortable with you, but I have several male friends, and they're never that open or blunt, so no, it's not necessarily normal. Maybe he just trusts you a lot, is brutally honest, or has no filter between his mouth and brain. Who knows, haha!

    Hey, it means he trusts you enough to be honest and open with you about his feelings. My guy friend does the exact same thing, although I expect him to trust me, we've been best friends since we were like 3. Haha but he probs goes a bit far (he told me the other day that his penis was hurting... Awkward) lol. Anyway, maybe it might be a way of trying to get you to express some of your feelings which might make him feel like you trust him too. Give it a go :)

  • I guess it would make sense now that some of you guys put it that way- haha I never thought about it but I guess if I was a guy I wouldn't want to talk to other guys about relationships much either...

    I don't think there's anything wrong with that. This is the 21st century, it's perfectly normal for the guy to occasionally open up. Admittedly, this is rarely done with other guys because they want to appear macho and all.

    For this reason, if I want to open up at all, it's normally with a girl. You shouldn't think it's a weird thing. In fact, for his mental health and sanity, a guy must learn to open up occasionally. In this case, he must really trust you to be able to open up with you.

    I know that the town I currently live in, well, the guys act very different in comparison to the previous town.
