a FLy oN tHe WaLL

I would love to be a fly on the wall during an all guy conversation. The more and more I listen to girls have conversations, it's totally intriguing me. If I guy were a (blind) fly on the wall in the girls locker room at the gym for instance, I think they would totally roll their eyes. Most of those conversations revolve around makeup, hair, food, calories and shopping. Then take a girls' conversation that's more intimate. Giving each other advice or telling stories with all the details being included. Talking about boys and justifying why they did this or that. Etc. etc. Either way, without boys around, conversations are often times way different. So I wonder what guys talk about when there are no girls around. Us girls assume it's always superficial, whether it be about sports, food, hot chicks, burping, etc. Maybe that's their locker room conversation. But do they have the same sort of intimate conversations? Do they give each other advice and talk about real situations in their life or do they just keep it all to themselves. I'm sure it's not so black and white and everyone is different but I'm thinking more and more I should have been an anthropologist.
