> Now you see, I believe that close male friendships are really important for women for a whole bunch of reasons - none of which I can adequately explain. The few 'real' friends I do have (as opposed to acquaintances) are all female, all are married and know of my situation and in some magical indefinable way we just somehow connect and manage to bring something to each others lives that helps the rest work better.
Yeah, it’s true. Close male friendships are very important. I think there are a lot of factors, but in my case I tend to feel a bit awkward around women. I feel as if I’m just pretending to be a woman and I’m scared that other women will find me out. (I don’t think I’m a man, you understand; I’m just not a proper woman.) But men seem to accept me as a woman and I can just be myself. Yeah, I’m weird.
> Sorry to barge in.
Please don’t apologise! You’re not barging in at all. I always welcome your comments and contributions!
