<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nElghorab then dived in, sharing how it feels \u201cembarrassing\u201d and totally unfamiliar since growing up, he never received flowers as a token of appreciation. Typically speaking, that\u2019s a gift only bestowed upon girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t grow up with that type of love and affection,\u201d Adiver affirmed, adding that now, in adulthood, it feels \u201cout of character\u201d to then go and show love in a way they were never taught exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis ain\u2019t love for me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Practical, basic necessities, on the other hand, like food, shelter, and clothes, feel \u201cnormal\u201d and familiar. Chui, Adiver, and Elghorab discussed how food in particular, especially in POC communities, was a vital love language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the way of showing love or appreciation to someone coming into your home. Or even, within our cultures, if you\u2019re going to someone else\u2019s home, you usually bring something to share. That\u2019s the way of showing love for us in our culture,\u201d said Chui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That said, Elghorab didn\u2019t hesitate to hold out a bouquet to Chui and tell his friend, \u201cI got this type of love for you though.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt didn\u2019t take long for this video to go viral on TikTok, with tons of people commending Chui, Adiver, and Elghorab for being able to have such an open and honest conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is the kind of conversation men need to keep having with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is healthy masculinity \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTHE BOYS ARE HEALING \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is community. THIS IS BOYS BEING BOYS. These are the type of relationships I had growing up and they helped shape me into a man and I\u2019ll never forget those relationships\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another viewer said, \u201cLet\u2019s talk about the fact that there\u2019s a group of young men preparing flowers and talking about it. Not just grabbing a random bouquet from a grocery store and giving it no thought. Appreciate you!!\u201d making a nod to an age-old complaint among women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nHowever, keeping the previous conversation in mind, maybe it\u2019s not that \u201cno thought is given,\u201d and rather, it\u2019s just unfamiliar territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s clearly inspiring and refreshing to a lot of people that more and more men are getting vulnerable in this way. Not only because it gets them in touch with their feelings (a practice not commonly encouraged even a generation ago) but also offers the women in their life a new level of insight. Both factors encourage more understanding and compassion, which something the world desperately needs right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a time when so many people raising young men are concerned about \u201credpilling,\u201d toxic masculinity, and reverting back to truly troubling patriarchal views in search of belonging, it\u2019s comforting to know that not all hope is lost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
