When speaking of male and female friendships, the difference between the two stands out like a sore thumb. While female friendships see a lot more “Yaaaas Queen!”, “Sweetie, you look gorgeous”, “OMG you’re the bomb”, and pretty much 24 hours of unbridled love and support, male friendships tend to be a teeny tiny bit more reserved. Okay, who am I kidding? They’re pretty much the poster child for toxic masculinity.
The same men who have no issues opening up to their female friends would rather jump off a cliff than share a tender moment with their bros.
Which is why it is extremely refreshing to read the responses to this Reddit thread:
Answers ranged from hilarious to straight up heartwarming.Take a look at a few of these for example:
1. What a beautiful bromance moment?!

Doesn’t your heart feel all warm and gooey? Can we have more men shedding their rough and tough personas to open up a bit more, please? Trust me guys, it’ll do wonders for your mental health.
