  I personally have many male friends with which I don't compete. Of course
I'm not a very competitve person by nature. While it is true that in this
soceity men are taught from an early age not to show more intimate emotions
(i.e., it's ok to be happy or mad, but big boys don't cry), I think that men
can become as intimate friends as women can, it just takes longer for men to
establish such friendships.
