That question doesn't have to be about work. What are his other hobbies? Does he have kids? Collectibles? Volunteer interests?

Why are you asking so many questions? Are you a cop?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm asking the questions here.

What is this guy, a cop?

Answers: We talked about this hobby; kids are irrelevant to our friendship unless they a) join us, or b) cause scheduling conflicts; we're collecting things related to this hobby; and I honestly don't care about his volunteer interests. Our friendship begins and ends with our mutual hobby.

To be clear, I'm not joking. That's essentially what many male friendships are like. If I find out they're a Nazi or something, the friendship is over, but most other things are irrelevant.
