Man Dates in the NYTimes

Thanks to Ugly for raising this great article, on an aspect of the insecure mores that structure male friendship, from the paaages of The New York Times.

Man Date Article

"Simply defined a man date is two heterosexual men socializing without the crutch of business or sports. It is two guys meeting for the kind of outing a straight man might reasonably arrange with a woman. Dining together across a table without the aid of a television is a man date; eating at a bar is not. Taking a walk in the park together is a man date; going for a jog is not. Attending the movie "Friday Night Lights" is a man date, but going to see the Jets play is definitely not."
