      Most of us men feel this way. Some of us are incapable of expressing it, while the rest of us are programmed not to express any signs of weakness.
      I was always told "get over it" about everything and it always stuck with me so for many years I never expressed myself because nobody wanted to hear a man "complain" about ANYTHING even if it's legit.
      Just "get over it, you're supposed to be a man".

      “Girlfriends”
      Girlfriend, friend of girl, can I be that to you again? You’re who I miss. Sexy four, sexy four-wheel driving friends, I miss being your fifth wheel. I never felt like a spare, my brain caught a flat trying to run you down. Be my Triple A, tow me back into your lives, I can’t survive the impound. Forgive this boyfriend for being a no-friend, but an ass, in the end. The S on this Superman’s chest stands for sorry…and I am. I need back inside your super sexy soul sister circle.

      @@user-dv3kq3rm4hNot really, I had to figure that out on my own. I was way too young to make that correlation between what I needed, liked and deserved vs what society was pressing me into liking. Looking back, a lot of the guys I dated ended up being more like Williams than the archetypal black male represented in the media back then (rapper/gangster, pretty singer, athlete or alpha white collar worker). I was born in ‘92 for reference of how old I was when the show was in syndication and I didn’t watch it again from an adult perspective until a few years ago and I had already met my fiancé by then. So there was a period in time where I wasn’t watching or thinking about William like that lol
      Besides I had an absent father so that had a major effect in my choices when dating as well.

    A lot of his co-stars on girlfriends can relate to him as well. The stories they share have a lot of common themes, yet that all have an overall calming gratitude when explaining it. I strongly believe there is never truly an IT person in Hollywood . There's always the people behind the scenes who define and choose what IT is. It's not to diminish anyone's talent and sacrifices. Because if the people really choose what it was, there would be so many IT'S. It wouldn't matter

    As a 80's baby black dude, when the other shows went off and Girlfriends came on he was the only reason I never changed the channel. Growing up with 5 brothers and no sisters watching him navigate around beautiful women on the screen being a regular looking guy was something I latched onto as a shy kid that was petrified being around females. I wish him the best in life.

    I really wish he knew how much we as the audience thought the WORLD of him and his character. I would’ve watched any show he was on and STILL would. The industry dropped the ball with this one. I pray he knows that he is adored and loved. I really do.🥺💗💕💕

    His style of comic acting was awesome. Even though they presented him as a nerd he was still like 6'3" and in good shape then, so he had some natural swag to mix in with the nerdiness. That scene where he smacks Joan's behind was magical.

    Reggie Hayes was such a strong character in Girlfriends, as William. His dynamic with Tracee Ellis Ross’ character Joan would not have been the same without him!
