You might see something closer to a "real" conversation between two very longtime friends or in a very small group, but even that's rare. Men often simply do not bond in that way.
That was my husband's take on it as well. In fact, he was nodding quietly at the observation about the zero-sum game. I can debate as if it's a zero-sum game, but I'm not used to thinking of conversation that way, I admit, so I have more to mull over.
