Men and Their Hidding Feelings Pg. 242

1)Men can't be best friend with each other, they are more of buddies and pals, something to get along with, rather than opening up to the person, in a way the writer was right about this not been a real friendship because the definition of a best friend is somebody who you can be yourself around and many times men give enough of themselves, and hold the rest back.

2)Men keep things to themselves more rather than women. Woman are social and love to talk about themselves, man keep things to themselves, more privately. They only let you know enough about them. He classifies men to be more fearful of showing their true colors, and he classifies women to be more open about themselves. I agree with it because as a guy, you don't want to cry in front of your friends, or do something that wouldn't be manly because people will judge you, and they would look at you wrong.

3)He made it a good point in paragraph five,because i think a lot of men don't admit their sexual lives, if it's bad they are too embarass to admit it, and it would look un manly. We have a reputation too look better, sound better and perform better in this society and if we let that go, we have nothing to stand on.
