WHAT DOES MALE BONDING MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Male bonding

Male bonding is the formation of a close personal relationship between men and is a term that is used in ethology and social science. In general usage it describes patterns of friendship and/or cooperation in men. Male bonding among males is often referred to as 'being tight.' The word bromance is a term recently introduced that refers to male bonding. The exact meaning of the term differs across contexts. In the context of human relationships, male bonding is used to describe friendship between men, or the way in which men befriend each other. The expression is sometimes used synonymously with the word camaraderie. Friendships among men are often primarily based on shared activities and ambitions, instead of emotional sharing. This can include playing musical instruments, video games, business ventures, creative endeavors, journeys, quests, sporting activities such as football, fishing, hunting, camping, gambling, social drinking and partying, or working with tools. The first widely-noticed use of the term was in Men in Groups by anthropologist Lionel Tiger.
