Why can men no longer be best friends? This is so stupid. Today if you show two guys being best friends they end up giving out an image that they’re gay. But guys don’t always need to be drinking beer, fighting in pubs or pulling women by the hair. They may have a deep affection.

I still don't have any crushes on actresses or models. It's always been one of those things with girlfriends. They say, Who's on your list? What do you call it, the Get Out of Jail Free card?
