I kept books for my high school baseball team, and spent a lot of time sitting quietly in the dugout, learning A LOT about what guys do and say when they are with other guys. After the first few games, they forgot I was there. VERY valuable insight. My two best buddies at Auburn were guys - one was a cop and the other one Army Reserves. They would take me with them to the gun range, and basically treated me like one of the guys - but with tits. I learned a lot from hanging out with them too. I have always gotten along better with guys than with women - maybe because I cut straight to the chase, and call 'em like I see 'em. None of that pussyfooting around the issue that most chicks do. If you are being a dick, I say "Hey, you're being a dick." Like me, don't like me - I could give a shit.
