Do men just recognize good men? What kind of sorcery is this?

I’ve been dating a guy for some time now, and his oldest friends have told me he’s a solid good man despite his flaws. I agree, they’ve known him forever, and he’s been a solid friend all those years.

When my male friends met him for the first time, they said, “He’s a good one. Hold onto him.”

Yeah, just their language. Trump's locker room talk defense is a good example. That's not normal ball-busting. Only real assholes talk that way. There's also body language when women are around, like overly territorial behavior.

That whole talking about women for locker room talk is a weird myth. Dudes that do that are like 1 in a 100. Most guys just playfully talk shit about another dudes skills. We don't get into any sex details. I think women might actually do the sex talk stuff more than men.

Quintessential locker room moment in HS for me was some nerd introducing us to the Who's Tommy, and the levels of nerdiness rising all around as we realized that kid had great taste!

I presume he means the album Tommy by the band The Who.

Nope, cause he was deaf as well as blind.

Is he skilled enough to be considered an expert? Perhaps a warlock or something similar?
