      This might be corny but men really need to celebrate these types of relationships, and the constant gay jokes made about Matt and Ben sour that, further deterring men from having deep emotional, vulnerable platonic connections with one another.

      It really is one of the key societal differences between men and women (abundance of supportive relationships), and I genuinely think male violence, both self-inflicted and upon other people, would decrease if this was encouraged.

      Edit: spelling

      They’re cousins aren’t they? God I really envy people who have strong relationships with their family

      I hate how we can’t have a single video/photo of those two together without those tired, regressive, and annoying gay jokes.

      This is the toxicity that adds on to homophobia in men, how can you expect men to be close and affectionate with other men if they are called gay for it? Stop this “which could mean nothing” bullshit. You are all setting us back.

      Honestly if men would let themselves have friendships like these the world would be better

      Friendly reminder that Ben Affleck has multiple sexual misconduct allegations.

      Yet another example of how men are forgiven for anything and everything.

      i too have a core friend group from my childhood that has remained roughly the same and i think he has a point. while new friendships are fun and exciting, there is a level of comfort and love you feel when returning to your chosen family. i know that my friends will always be there, even if we see each other less frequently, because they have seen me at my best and worst.

      i wish this lovw for all my fellow humans.

      These types of relationships are exceedingly rare. I have one. He’s basically my brother, and the whole family I consider family. I have a couple other close friends, but nothing will beat that one, really deep friendship.

      What’s worse, is a lot of aspects of society actively get in the way of developing or fostering those relationships to begin with. Or tell people not to ever compromise, when all relationships involve some level of compromise. You’re never going to find kinship if you’re looking for that person who is completely 1:1 with you.

      They used to get on lots of films together. Tgey were both in Glory Daze. Damon played the pudwacker

      It is really hard to sustain a relationship for that long. Especially when it starts in childhood. Everyone changes and evolves and it can be a strain.
