People will ask guys what they mean when they say "guy bonding". Girl bonding is easy. That's where a girl will get her support group of every female she knows and eat junk food while drinking a diet soda and watching "Grease" so that she can spill her guts about the guy she just met. Guy bonding is a little more complicated as we don't like diet soda, Grease, or spilling our guts. Well, here it is.

Guy bonding is two, three, maybe even four guys going out on the town. You start at a quiet bar, just getting a pitcher or two of beer and chilling while you drink it. How's life? You going to the game this weekend? Where're ya tailgating? Why'd they run that draw play on 3rd and seventeen against Tennessee? Things of this sort. Next you hit a second bar, a little more populated than the first. Here, again, you have another pitcher, but this time you actually watch the sports, listen to the music, and look at, occasionally flirting with, the women. It is at the third bar, though, that the bonding happens. You enter the third bar tipsy, even drunk if you have a low tolerance. Instead of getting a pitcher here, everyone buys a bottle of his own beer. This is when you start to talk about girls. Not about how many seriously nice looking ones you know, or not about "Yeah, man! She wants me, yo." Stupid shit like that. No, this time you actually tell the guys about the one girl. You say either how much you are in love, because when your bonding, it's ok to actually use that word. Or you talk about how you really wish you could change things back to the way they were because despite all of your best efforts, you can't seem to fix things. Or even the one you want the most of eveyone you know. Regardless of the situation, this is where you bond. Because all of a sudden everyone's story is frighteningly similar, and you all seem to understand each other. (This might actually be one of the hidden properties of beer.)

But the moment ends, and being guys still, you finally hit your fourth and last bar. This one is a crowded, party type. And you go there to seriously hit on anything that says "yes", but since you no longer comprehend the word "no" it becomes a very target rich environment. And you still remember the really deep bonding conversation you had, but you are guys, and damn it, you're going to hit on some girls if it kills you.
