I don ' t cuddle with my friends when we watch movies together but do have a few friends that I ' m very close with . We talk about anything and have had emotional conversations about family or relationship issues . I have male friends that I hug every time I see them , not that bullshit handshakeone arm bro hug , actual hugs . We don ' t get to see each other often due to living in other states but call each other just to see what ' s going on in life . No need to hide emotions either . My friends and I got together as a going away party before I moved out of state , as we we ' re pregaming before going out I said a toast to my friends thanking them for everything and started to tear up a bit , got emotional , and no one thought it was weird , no one made fun of me , we took our shots of whiskey , hugged it out then proceeded to go out and party like a bunch of degenerates as any group of bros should do . A few years ago I went on a brodate with my friend . We got dinner , a couple drinks , and went and saw Lone Survivor in theaters , at the end when they we showing the tributes to the soldiers lost in the mission both of us teared up . Nothing gay or un manly about it . Nothing wrong with guys having close friendships , hell I ' d say it ' s weird if a guy doesn ' t have close friends like that .
