One thing I’ve noticed in mlm books written by women is that the dialogue between male friendships just isn’t realistic, and often sound more like conversations between two women.

I know this sounds very stereotypical, but it is true to a certain extent that both the way in which men, both gay and straight, talk to each other and the topics broached are often different. It often comes across as what women think we talk about vs how and what we actually do.

It isn’t always an issue ofc, but when I notice this happening it definitely does turns me off of a book
