male character dialogue

[erastes]

For male on male character dialogue, and I don’t necessarily mean gay interaction, but simply how men talk to each other, you could do worse than to check out the series Flashpoint which I’m addicted to. There’s these two guys, Ed and Doug who work together, have done for years, and yet they don’t know everything about each other, and they pretty much exist with “you ok?” “yep.” “No, I mean, are you ok.?” Even when they have a heart to heart it’s almost monosyllabic. I’m not saying that all men talk like this, but I know sure as hell some do. Brilliantly written imho.
