Why would a manly man not get a date for 20 years????
You're with guys most of the time. You don't see many ladies out on the range, on the lake, out in the woods, in the garage etc..
You're living life content with being yourself and by yourself. You don't have speed dial set up on a dating site like Mr. Rico Suave does. You don't have "game" and you don't have "charm".
You're just a MAN.....
How long does it take for a farmer to find a new wife?
Many never do....
One of my Dad's and my friends who is 74 and his wife passed away about 6 years ago still wears his wedding band.
He calls me on the phone to talk for hours because he is lonely.
He'll find an excuse for me to come over or get out of the house almost always.
He wants me to come sight in some rifles and clean them for him sometime in the next two weeks.
He called Dad last night and talked to him for 1.5 hours too...lol
Not long ago I read an article wherein the author said that a couple who was friends with her and her husband split up. It so happened that she was going to go hang out with the woman on the same night her husband was going to hang out with the guy. She spent the evening listening to the woman rehash how their marriage had gone sour and the details of what went wrong that lead to the split.
When she got home and her husband got home, she eagerly asked him what "Joe" had told him about the split. She wanted to hear his side of the story. The husband just looked puzzled and said, "We didn't talk about them splitting up. We talked about baseball."

Men generally do not talk about relationships with each other nearly as much, or as in depth in women do with each other.
Concur. Women are more relationship oriented than men.

Speaking only for myself, have far more often confided in and discussed relationships with a married woman with whom I have had a long friendship with her and her husband. Men are more hesitant to discuss and admit to being hurt with other men, because of a sense that is showing weakness and vulnerability, whereas they may open up to a woman. Some of the best advice I have ever received about a relationship have come from married women in a solid marriage. These ladies seem to have an uncanny ability to read and size up single women with whom you are involved with. When told that she cares/does not care for you, is good/bad for you, is using you/not using you, etc., I have learned to pay attention. The problem is that when emotions overide logic, such sage advice is ignored and tossed aside, and then later, when things go sour, you wish you had listened to her earlier.
Men know what other men's intentions are. I am curious how much do men talk about their ex girlfriends to other men. I know it depends how often the friends see each other and how close they are. If they are casual friends who rarely spend time together (once a year maybe), how often do ex girlfriends tend to come up in conversation when they usually like to talk about golf or something? And does it usually go deeper than "we broke up" when discussing an ex?
In my experience, men try not to talk about personal things with other men. That is why men are sometimes more bereft when they don't have women in their lives. We have no one we feel safe opening up to...
