Can You As A Guy Say 'I Love You' To Your Close Male Friend(s)? by uboma(m): 6:16pm On Feb 21, 2016 |
The first time a close pally of mine said so to me, i was like WTF. This happened many years ago though. My girl-friend at the time also heard it and wondered if we had turned gays. She later relaxed when she found i was straight (and still is). But over the years i have come to see it as normal even though our African culture frowns at such show of affection to members of the same sex. I say it to a few very close male friends of mine to this day. And i do hug my friends (males inclusive). How about you? Do you say same or you think its abnormal? Guys and ladies, lets join in the fun. |

Ladies have an iota of lesbianism in them, so it is allowed but guys, it's so gayish if you utter such statement. You will even feel awkward, yourself. |

Emodeee: This is no longer the cave age bro. there is absolutely nothing abnormal about telling a friend 'hey i love you' and 'i miss you'... but if you still stand your grounds, then thats entirely your own opinion. |

Solvik: What feeling would run through your head if you guy said same to his close pal who probably is many miles away? And can you say same to your girlfriends? |

uboma: There is no big deal in saying I love you to the same sex cause its so harmless, but you know Africans read meaning to so many things and due to what is now happening; same sex marriage so I prefer I like you. |

Solvik: From personal experience i have come to learn not to give a hoot about what others say about me or my actions. I am 100 percent straight by the way. |

uboma: i don't care either. But let me ask you, the guys you say I love you to, how do they feel or what was their expression like? |

Guys hardly show love to each other, even when they do its limited to hugs and handshake . Its kinda strange saying that to a guy like you. my opinion tho |
Re: Can You As A Guy Say 'I Love You' To Your Close Male Friend(s)? by Babe2sure(f): 7:12pm On Feb 21, 2016 |
I do say "I missed you" but I can't say "I love you" to my girlfriends. The thing is, some people are bi-curious, saying i love you to them may fuel their bi-curiousity to want to experiment with you. What you don't want you don't attract! It will be totally awkward for a guy to say it to his pals, in my opinion. If my guy should say that to his pal,I will not like the sound of it. And it could spark off a row if he doesn't drop the habit of saying it. |

Don't think it's appropriate for a guy to use such doting expression towards a fellow guy. I'd feel unease if a guy I'm unrelated with tells me I love you. What da fvck does that mean? 2 Likes |

I neva tell girl 'I LOVE YOU' finish na guy i go come dey tell...my guy first will look at me with that "your head correct so?" face....although i love my guys...its akward telling them so...its better to just show it by being there for them in times of need |

Babe2sure: Mind you, it would totally be awkward to me if a guy i barely know says he loves me. In fact i will shove my fist up his jaw for starters. I only say this to my very close pals. |
Re: Can You As A Guy Say 'I Love You' To Your Close Male Friend(s)? by Babe2sure(f): 7:41pm On Feb 21, 2016 |
uboma: It's not right to say it even to close pals. You don't know who is gay among them. And the person may see it as an invitation. That's my point. |
Re: Can You As A Guy Say 'I Love You' To Your Close Male Friend(s)? by uboma(m): 7:48pm On Feb 21, 2016 |
Babe2sure: lol. There is no gay amongst my close pals. Your point though has been noted but it wont stop me. |

I am no gay modafvcker. Call it African mentality, that is who we are. Such behaviours are nasty. As a guy, tell me u love me and am gonna punch your fvcking nose. |
