A few weeks ago someone asked me if I thought havi. For anyone who needs the reminder File this under "signs of true love. Guy's guys can be really easy to get along with in the sense that if you know a lot about the same sport, or whatever, that they're interested in you can instantly have a two-hour conversation, and often form a kind of bond with them over it.
It's not guaranteed to make every last male like you, but it goes a long way. The same goes for social activities. Being able to take part in certain things can very quickly move you from being on the outside to one of the crew. As simplistic as it seems, some men's criteria for judging whether someone seems like a good fella is just something like, "Can we have a few beers and talk about hockey?
I talk about the pragmatic usefulness of having a passing knowledge of things people care about elsewhere on the site.
More than for many types of people it really applies to guy's guys. If you're into the same stuff as they are it's pretty easy to click with them. Of course, getting into something you don't care about isn't the easiest task. Sometimes it's just not possible, and I'm not advising you to pretend to love something that bores you to death just to get some men's approval.
However, at times you may originally try learning about something for mainly practical reasons, then find you genuinely enjoy it. In that case, take your new found interest and use it hit it off with the bros. Like all stereotypes this isn't entirely true, but in general guy's guys communicate on a more surface level. Like I described above, they exchange opinions and information about outside topics, and they kid around a lot.
They don't talk about their feelings or vulnerabilities a ton, especially with anyone who isn't a close friend. A lot of the time this isn't necessarily bad, since we don't always need to have three-hour conversations where we dissect the influence our parents had on our beliefs about whether we deserve to be happy.
When you're around the bros keep things on that breezy level. As the point above mentions, if you can converse about the same interests as them, then this is fairly simple. One fear some guys have is having to talk with another man who's the so-called strong silent type. They worry about the conversation being awkward and full of uncomfortable pauses. The main thing to keep in mind here is that you are not completely responsible for how well any one social interaction goes.
Of course, when people identify as socially awkward they tend to put all the blame on themselves if a conversation hits some snags. Odds are many people who talk to an uncommunicative guy find him difficult to engage. Like he may have a girlfriend who's always frustrated that she can't get more than three words out of him at a time. Basically, do your best to chat with an untalkative, unexpressive guy, but if you can't get a conversation going realize it's more about him than it is about you.
Also, realize that with an unchatty guy that you don't have to be talking every second. He likely appreciates the silences and doesn't feel your relationship is falling apart if you aren't constantly jabbering. Another thing is that while you may look at a laconic guy and think, "Wow, what a powerful, self-possessed man of few words", he may very well think of himself as someone who just sucks at talking to people, and wishes he was better at thinking of things to say.
It's just that his particular type of awkwardness has a built-in cover story. Some guys were never that tough or assertive growing up, and around guy's guys they're always slightly on edge because they're overly intimidated by the fact that these men have the potential to get physical.
They may even flinch away every time a dude gets loud or starts gesturing too wildly. Never mind that brawls are pretty rare, they're still a little afraid of the idea of it. This isn't an overnight solution, but one thing that helps is to take some classes and learn at least a bit about fighting. Also, start lifting weights and gain some strength. The goal isn't to become an aggressive, over-confident meathead or an elite MMA warrior, but to just get to a mental space where the possibility of getting into a dust up isn't this terrifying abstract concept.
You'll feel much more at ease when you have the mindset that you don't want to fight, but if you had to you'd have at least some idea of what to do even if that's to hold your ground for a moment before you spot a chance to get away. This suggestion is about basic exposure to become more comfortable with something that currently makes you feel nervous. If you hang out with guy's guys more, at first you'll likely feel unsteady around them.
Before long you'll realize they're nothing special. You'll start to pick up on their interaction style and adjust accordingly. When people go through a difficult, stressful experience and don't work through it at the time, the upsetting emotions and beliefs around that incident can get "frozen" in their mind, and pop up again years later when they're in a new situation that reminds them of the old one. Basically, if you were bullied or rejected by bros or jocks as a kid, being around guy's guys as an adult can dredge up all your old fear and resentment.
On one level you may know you're in a different setting now, but an unconscious or half-conscious part of your mind still thinks you're a thirteen-year-old in danger of being beat up by cruel middle school thugs.
You can process these painful memories and remove that old emotional charge from them. Once that's done you may still not love or click with every bro you come across, but you can at least see them through clear eyes, and not have your perception of the interaction be taken over by wounds from the past.
I mentioned that guy's guys often hang out in big groups that have known each other for a long time. If you feel uncomfortable hanging around a ton of old high school buddies, the issue may partially be that you feel weird around guy's guys, but it could also be that you're just not used to hanging out with new groups of people who all know each other.
Or maybe you're not good at dealing with loud, rowdy conversations. If you suspect there's a broader social issue you struggle with, and it comes up around guy's guys, look into addressing it. I'm Chris Macleod. I've been writing about social skills for fifteen years.

Making Friends. Developmental Differences. The Process Of Improving. If one of your friends is upset, you want to make them feel better. But when the love of your life is hurting, you feel the pain inside of yourself. It's like you're connected, and feel the same emotions.
That's why you always want him to be in good spirits, and he wants you to feel the same. He remembers everything about you, no matter how small. He'll remember what you were wearing the day you met, and what your favorite movie is. He'll know what colors bring out your eyes, and what make-up clutters your bathroom counter. He loves you, so he actually notices the minor things about you. He's not very interested in watching True Blood, but he'll do it just for you.
He'll even buy you the DVDs when they're released. He doesn't mind doing things that he hates, because he's sitting beside you. Of course, if he puts up with the shows you love, then you'll have to put up with his favorites as well. When you make fun of him, he'll understand that you're joking, and won't take you seriously.
