I don't know what the hell you people are talking about. I'm 53 years old, and happily married.

When ever I'm in town (minus my wife) I always go out for dinner with a couple of guys I've known for years.

Are you talking about 14 year old kids that care what other people think?

My friends and I regularly go out to eat and I generally don't see groups of guys out. We did run into a group of guys at a Mexican restaurant a couple of years ago (a sit down place not a crappy taco joint). I do know several men who have vacations (aka fishing trips) with groups of men. Is this different because it is a masculine thing to do?

Actually, explaining the differences in sex is wildly easy -- boys have a penis and girls have a vagina. Gender, one can argue, is far more complex.

I had actually read studies that have made a claim that the difference between men and women from a bioligical standpoint, while significant, are a lot less significant than many people think- leading me to kind of believe that at least a portion the differences we observe are a result of societal conditioning (how we raise kids, what we expect from one another, etc.).

^That's why I said "one can argue" lol -- it's far outside the original purpose of this thread but I just couldn't let lin's comment slide. I 100% agree with you about the societal constructs of gender.

I don't see why guys can't do something like that together without being uncomfortable.
Especially if they have a game on we can grunt at.
