The "no homo" thing is both interesting and depressing because guys from my (likely our) generation are particularly infected with that stigma. (I never really got it, myself and always found it silly)

It's definitely a "thing" though.

Life also has a habit of dragging us into different directions. Wives. Families. Businesses. So hard to find a common ground over time. Particularly when you multiply geographic distance with a number of years.
