For the most part,Rubin says,interactions between men are emotionally controlled by a good fit with the social requirement of “manly behavior”.
Betty and Harold have been married for years.But one thing still puzzles old Harold.How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa,talking,to out to a ball-game,come back three and a half hours later,and they're still sitting on the sofa "Talking"
What in the world,Harold wonders,do they have to talk about?
Betty shrugs.Talk?We're friends.
Researching this matter called friendship,psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men.No matter what their age,their sex,the results were completely clear:women have more friendship than men,and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable?”
More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend.Those who could were likely to name a woman.Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend,and almost always it was a woman.More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend,most trusted person,or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress." Most women," says Rubin,"identified at least one,usually more,trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment,and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives."
“In general,” writes Rubin in her new book,“women’s friendship with each other rest on shared emotions and support,but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities.” For the most part,Rubin says,interactions between men are emotionally controlled by a good fit with the social requirement of “manly behavior”.

Rubin指出,男人之间的关系/友谊很大程度上会受一种情感上的约束,认为男人就应该有那种社会上普遍认同的"男子汉的样子".(也就是说,不应该像女人一样整天亲密的粘在一起,这样不是男人该有的行为)
