Physical or Virtual Friends
The essence of getting together as friends between guys is very simple. I know I can turn up for you when you're back is against the wall and you can do same.
Where you are at isn't a problem, how many times we communicate in a week doesn't really matter. What matters most is we can count on each other whenever things goes south.
I love the guys kind of relationship because it's less stressful to get along with each other. We can stay away from conversations for a month and still blend very well whenever we bomb into each other.
In fact I'm the type of guy that don't appreciate guys that get upset over another guy not calling them for a while, like how do you even noticed?
I'm not saying guys should be nonchalant towards each other but I know our lifestyle has constituted a lot of unwritten laws amongst us. We are always looking for means how to cover up all our roles and responsibilities in the family.
We usually have less time to flirt but not the same with the idol guys. We don't really care so much about the emotional aspects of things and that's why it's easier for two guys to meet online as build a solid relationship between each other.
Building relationships virtually has become a super easy stuff for the guys because it takes only greetings for everything to start. Once I like your energy, we are good. We don’t have to wait for anybody’s approval Bertie we start vibing.
We sometimes start off as guys that just spoke to each other yesterday, if I talk to you again the next day that’s just the beginning of future paddies.
I met someone during my service year in camp but after the camp we path ways because I relocated completely from the state but till now we are still communicating and doing couple of things together.. That's another power of digital friendship.
Making virtual friends and maintaining them is very easy among the guys because you don’t need so many criteria to be one, just be a guy.
This type of friendships are durable than you can imagine. If the energy is very positive you get to see each other someday. Any of you can decide to want to visit the other persons country or state as long as you guys are very real to each other and have developed this friendship to where it’s supposed to be.
I’ve seen men date women of different kinds and even travel very far to come pay their bride price and move out together with them. If this guys can travel from fast places to see their dates, it’s possible that they can travel to see their friends too.
One of the challenges is that, it’s easy for y’all to cut connections since you’re not seeing regularly, you need something special that keeps bringing you guys together to talk, probably work or fun related activity you both use to partake in it. People don’t wanna be online talking for long now because they need to go make ends meet for themselves and their family.
It has to be a profitable discussion else we quickly lost interests and that’s because reality doesn’t care about anybody’s feelings or relationship, if you don’t stay sharp for the worst, the worst could possibly happen to you..
