How much do guys tell their friends about their dating life?

Question - (29 January 2019) 2 Answers - (Newest, 30 January 2019)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I'm wondering how much guys discuss their love life with their guy friends. I tell my girlfriends everything, who I'm going out with, whether we hooked up etc.

I'm on a dating site and I was seeing this guy who I liked for about a month. We only made out and never had sex and then he just ghosted me all of a sudden. After a few months, I got over it and went back on the dating site and got matched with this really cute guy. He has a couple photos with the guy I went out with so it seems that they're good friends. I'm wondering if this other guy would tell him about me? We live a relatively small town but don't have any friends in common or anything so are my chances with this other guy completely ruined?

It depends on the guy and how much he likes sharing. I would think the new guy will judge for himself; regardless of what the other guy has to say.

You tell your girlfriends everything? That's oversharing, and people store information; and not always for your benefit. You have more to be concerned about with your girlfriends than the guy you dated.

Honeypie agony auntDoes it really matter?

The first guy didn't work out, it was SOME guy you went on a date or two with over a "time span" of a month. THAT is it.

I think the fact that you didn't sleep with him might be a good advantage for YOU.

And how much guys talk to friends depends on the guy and his friends.

Same for women. I am NOT a big shared in intimate details, unless the relationship is OVER. Then I might share SPARSE comments. Nothing more.

I had many male friend who would give VERY detail descriptions (unless you told them TMI, dude) and some who never kissed and told.

If guy #2 is someone you want to get to know better DO SO without worrying about the other guy. WHO CARES what he thinks/thought of you? Now if he tells guy #2 shit about you, lies or what not.. there is NOTHING you can do.

You can't CONTROL this situation, but you CAN decide if guy #2 is someone you want to get to know or not. And if he is.. FOCUS on that... not guy #1.

If guy #2 brings up #1 (which I doubt, honestly) you can give a VERY short description, like we met through the dating site and it wasn't a good fit, or just say you don't really remember him (trust me he doesn't NEED details).
