That's called parallel play.

Men have deep relationships as they're walking together towards something side by side, right?

Eye contact is not as common.

And it's actually not as necessary because men have less oxytocin.

About a third as much oxytocin.

And oxytocin is pumped out when you're making eye contact.

Why?

Well, the reason is because women get a lot of oxytocin as they lay eyes, have eye contact with their babies.

So when babies nurse, they're looking into their mother's eyes.

It is powerful, man.

My baby's staring at you while they're eating.

I know, I know.

They stare at you.

You're freaking me out.

And what they're doing is that's pumping oxytocin into mom's brain, which is really important for milk production.

Wow.

So this is kind of how the biology works.

But the whole point is that women get three times as much oxytocin and that's how they bond to people more.

And when you're not looking at her in the eyes when you're talking to her, you're denying her the feeling of love.

Man.
