LOL, and a superhero message board, man did you ever pick the wrong place to garner sympathy for that.
Some of y'all in here need to lighten up, geez.
I'm not trying to garner sympathy. I like Bobert, I've helped him out a lot in ways that are too numerous and detailed to explain to outsiders... but talking **** amongst the fellas is common. The fact that he probably shed a couple of tears because he realized that he actually DID brush his lips against a woman's vagina at one point during the course of his life is funny as hell to me.

If this guy would have been an outside of work friend, we would have harassed him endlessly. It's what guys do to each other.
And I heavily doubt HR would anything in that situation.
In my experience, if you can't take friends joking around then you are in for a rough life when strangers start the **** talking. I'm wondering what kind of social bubbles some people here grew up in.
No, it's what *******s do.
To each other. When I get together with my guy friends we bust on each other in good fun.In my experience, "it's just guy talk" is an excuse to be a bully and a dick.

So do you and your guy friends sit around drinking tea and discuss life altering events?

Agreed. When push came to shove the guys I hang with always have each others back and we are only rude and obnoxious to each other.
I'm really starting to notice how people on here are so uptight, can't take jokes and obviously lived sheltered lives where mommy and daddy protected them from everything.
This would seem to be the main point. "Guy talk" IS very common. And guys ripping on each other is too. But the whole point of it is the give-and-take ****-talking. Your friend will rip on you, and you will rip on him, and both will have a good laugh, since it's in the spirit of friendship. But this "Bobert" doesn't sound like the type to do that. You say he "knows" your sense of humour, but has he ever participated in that kind of joking around? If not, then you're just insulting him for no reason. And laughing about it after you knew he was upset by it kind of removes any "friendly" aspect of it anyways.Then maybe you should let him know that. It's friendly guy talk if the friend knows to not take the insults seriously. This is an arrangement between friends. If your buddy is outside crying, and you think it's funny, there is something wrong with that situation.
