Readers, What are the tells that a male character has been written by a woman?
Men when together donโt talk all that much. When a woman writes male characters hanging with other men, they talk way, way more than men do in person.
Which makes sense! Men talk a lot more around women. So thatโs what the ladies experience and so thatโs what they write. But itโs not actually how men are when they are together without women around.
For instance, in the past Iโve hung around male friends for hours and weโve exchanged all of ten words. And both liked it that way.
