Saying "I love you".... (101)
druidess6308: A thought occurred to me just a couple of minutes ago as I told a friend of mine that I love her...why is it okay for women to tell their female friends that we love each other, but men feel weird telling their male friends that they love them? They can say it to their female friends, but feel that they'll be perceived as "gay" if they say it to their male friends.
Is it only in the US, or is it a world-wide thing? I know European men kiss each other on the cheeks, just as they do the women...but do you tell your male friends that you love them?

For men is very difficult to say "I love you" even to the woman they love.....
Afraid to commitmen???...who knows, only them

I do understand that's hard for some men, though they can say it to their female friends and their mothers easily enough.

Cool, Jash...and a cultural point, I think. Which is the other thing I'm curious about. This is, after all, an international forum, and I don't know if this is different in other parts of the world.

Hi Dru. Just last night I watched a movie where two men were friends. One of the men was talking about a problem and his male friend said that he could talk to him about anything. The problemed guy didn't say anything. The guy who said he loved him said "I love you, don't you understand that". It was a true friendship....not a Brokeback Mountain love.I personally am not fond of women saying they love me other than my daughter. If a man sent me an email and writes "luv" I take that with fondness. If he writes "love" it bothers me.
IMO the word "love" is over used.

That's rare, though, Snuggs...at least in this country. For the men, that is. Yes, there are some like you who aren't comfortable with it at all, and it's something I respect if I know that...though it does make me wonder why. But that's because I'm eternally curious about people and what makes everyone tick.
And I disagree...I think that the word love is underused. We don't say it often enough to our friends and family. But again, that's me.
I do think it's overused by some romantically, but that's not what this is about. I don't think it can be overused by friends. We all need to hear it and know that we're loved.

I agree, Jash. If you care deeply about someone in any way, you should be able to say that you love them, regardless of gender.

If i may interject here, being British i feel its very relevant to expand on this ..... We have a culture here where we dont say I Love You enough - especially to our friends, we hide all of our emotions, good and bad which makes it hard to teach our children to show us how they feel. Only after losing so many friends and family over the latter years have i realised just how important it is to tell those i care about while i have the time, it was a new experience for me telling my friends that i loved them but one that has always been reciprocated by those true friends.
I feel it is important to tell those we care about, no matter how we may feel about it or how embarrassed we may be. I now end all of my conversations with those people by telling them i love them. It feels good to know im loved back and it feels good knowing that if anything ever happens to them the last thing i told them was that i loved them !
