Passage A

男人间友谊的秘密

男人的约会

在二十世纪的大部分时间里，大多数人相信男人们太不会表达感情来交友。真正的亲密关系是弱者们的。美国纽约州立大学石溪分校的社会学家，《性别社会》的作者迈克尔·科麦儿解释说：“对友谊女性化的理解占了主导地位。”

几十年来，社会学家用女性的标准来衡量友谊：如果两个男人每天不打电话倾诉，那么，他们的友谊就不如两个每天打电话的女性朋友间的友谊那么合情理。但是现在研究者认识到，两个总是能说上三言两语的男人或许像两个喋喋不休的女人一样能够很好地相互了解。

然而，男人分享更多。克林顿和戈尔当听到了他们的选举结果时互相拥抱。布什宣誓就职时的，眼里盈满了泪花。汤姆克鲁斯在国家电视台大谈博爱。2005年4月，纽约时报用“男人的约会”来描述与日俱增的现象：非同性恋的男性一起吃饭，一起去博物馆，一起参加与运动无关的活动。

“男人是感性的，”科麦尔说,“他们袒露脆弱的一面，同时建立信任。”他们从来不会以女人的方式做这件事。与女性朋友相比，男性朋友在一起做得多说得少。但这并不会使友谊变得寻常或者不那么重要。以下是其中的奥妙。 共同的纽带

男性的友谊可以生根于我们生活中那些发生变迁的时期——“成为一个父亲或丈夫，或正在离婚，或正料理亲人的后事，” 宾夕法尼亚州印第安纳大学的社会学家罗伯特·黑德利说，他正从事对男人间友谊的长期研究。当两个男人在同一时间处理同样事情时相遇，常常很快就产生联系了。

这样的事情就发生在两位父亲身上——拉里·希施贝格尔和加里·菲，他们来自纽约地区的伊萨卡。他们过去见过一面，因为他们的妻子在一起工作；然后在一年之内，两人都跟妻子分居，也都保留了对孩子的部分监护权。希施贝格尔卖掉了房子，但菲没有卖。如同好莱坞情景喜剧的背景，希施贝格尔和孩子们与菲和女儿两家住在一起——几乎五年的时间。“我们所经历的有很多共同之处，这促成了我们的友谊，”菲说道，“我们都想在困难时期做个好爸爸。因此我在做菜的时候，他就在另一个房间给孩子们读书。我们互相支持，这非常好。”两个男人自从再婚后都搬到各自的家去了，但是他们仍然是亲密的朋友，由生活中共同的情感事件而联系在一起。

科麦儿认为更深层次的看，“友谊是生活中自我探索的主要途径之一”。我们的天性决定了我们会把朋友作为自己成长的一面镜子，这也就难怪我们会把友谊这个特殊的范畴保留给那些年龄、脾气、和好奇心都跟我们相像的人。

工作似乎明显是一个男人们发现共同兴趣而建立联系的地方，但“建立友谊需要暴露弱点，但在像工作这样存在竞争的环境下，那样做是很危险的。”彼得纳迪提醒到。他是加利
