People like to contemplate where these contrasts stem from.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One popular theory postulates that males and females form different kinds of friendships due to their upbringings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to psychologist <\/span><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/psychcentral.com\/blog\/relationship-corner\/2018\/01\/female-vs-male-friendships-10-key-differences#1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tarra Dates-Buford<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, friendships between men are more likely to be built on shared hobbies, such as sports and video games, whereas relationships between women depend on their ability to share their thoughts and feelings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While friendships founded upon common interests can lead to close connections, it\u2019s easier to keep those friendships casual and superficial than friendships built upon sharing vulnerabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buford also notes there are differences in how males and females respond to deficits in communication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s more likely for female friendships to fizzle out over their inability to stay in contact than for male friendships. Men will continue to consider a man his close friend even if they haven&#8217;t interacted in months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To understand these differences, we need to look at their childhoods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Young boys are often discouraged from being vulnerable with others because showcasing emotions such as sadness or fear contradicts the social norm of what a \u201cman\u201d is\u2014someone who is always strong and doesn\u2019t cry. Tears are seen as weakness in men.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, men tend to be more reserved with their emotions even within male-to-male relationships.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Girls, on the other hand, are often considered \u201ctoo emotional\u201d for expressing their feelings. Nonetheless, it\u2019s socially acceptable for women to wear their hearts on their sleeves, which can kindle intimate conversations and stronger bonds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Self-disclosure, the process of communication through which humans reveal personal information, is essential for relationships to thrive because it requires and creates trust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally, humans tend to keep personal information\u2014beliefs, values, emotions, secrets, mistakes and traumas\u2014private. It is the key to what makes you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you share that kind of information, you are trusting that someone won\u2019t use it against you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women are more likely to take such a risk in their friendships than men, yielding more intimate, lasting connections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it\u2019s not wise to put all our cards on the table with everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strong, meaningful relationships take time to cultivate. Being quick to self-disclose can cause personal information to fall into the wrong hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, it\u2019s important to recognize the differences between how and why male and female relationships differ.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe there is something men and women can learn from each
