At what point can I call out my best friend?

Lol, ok... maybe my suggestion was SLIGHTLY gay but I really meant the op could translate that into manspeak and take it from there something like 'so this bitch fucked you up... cmon dude... let's go to the bar and get you laid' or whatever it is men prefer to say in situations like this

That's a bit better. The best translation would be "Dude, all I'm going to say is she was a cool chick man. You better be sure about this before you fuck things up with her, cause not many bitches are going to put up with your dumb ass like she does. That said, you're single now, so let's go hit the bars. It's college night at X place and you know the girls there are looking to get some experimental education."

well that's not much different from what I said... just more longwinded... do men say things like 'that said... '?

Yeah, it's a good way to get away from sappy crap. Other acceptable transitions include "ok, enough sentimental bullshit" or "eh, fuck it."

And it's very different from what you said... you used the L-word. Guys do not EVER, under any circumstances, say that to each other. Nor do you ever say something about being there for each other. It's just understood in guys code... we're not chicks and we don't need the constant validation and reassurance Nor do you ever say you wish another man would talk more... again, that's for chicks. Men prefer silence, or at best, talking shit about sporting events. Telling another man you want to talk about feelings is potentially even more alarming than hearing your gf ask if something that makes her look fat.

yeh hels, soulsinging pretty much has it spot on. thats a pretty transcontinental lingo between us menfolk. I have gay friends that dont even talk to me like that. They still are you know, "like, dude, all im saying is you could do better, or whatever"...and you'll say "cheers, dude"....there'll be a moment silence and someone will make a joke...or something. you get the gist!

and even when something SLIGHTLY non-masculine is said, you have to make a joke afterwards, then laugh. farting is another way we move things along, because thats always a bit of a laugh. especially if in public. the conversation will never end on the serious note.

ive had the L word used, but only fleetingly...and its followed by the behaviour as described above

I think you can call him an idiot and she should just forget about him. He doesn't seem worth the grief.

Sometimes things just do not work out. For what ever reason they are most likely better being apart.
He seems uninterested and she seems needy.
Let the chips fall where they may.

start sleeping with the girl then he'll get all jealous and crap and want her back.

or she could do this.......

If everyone who ever dumped someone that other people thought was perfect was an idiot, there'd be no one on Earth worth the grief...
