I find truth in that. Particularly with other men, which is why so many of my friends are women.
I've never found men really capable of emotional connection. They find it a sign of weakness, not being masculine.
As an example, I was in the ICU a year or so ago. I had a massive pulmonary embolism. I had a colleague emailing and texting if I could work on a proposal. He was pissed I couldn't. When I got out of the hospital he didn't ask how I was doing. He assured me it was OK I didn't work on the proposal in the ICU.
Another example is my longest male friend locally. He mother died and he didn't even mention it. Until many months later. I asked him WTF. He said he didn't know how to bring it up.
BOOM
WTF
