Differences between best friendship for guys and girls?

Question

It always seems like girls have much closer best friends than guys do, especially in terms of how much they mean to each other. I would die for my best friend, but I don't think I know many other guys who would say that.

Agree, disagree, thoughts in general? And feel free to tell me about your best friend, if you like.

Answer 1

i disagree sounds like u have something moe than just a friendship with ur friend SORRY

Answer 2

I kind of agree. I would say that that my best friend is my sister since I am the type with many close friends. But we are extremely close and I would die for her. But all of my regular friendships aren't best friendish since I just went through the process of realizing my old best friend wasn't really a friend but someone that held me back from my true self. Guys do have friends but not one close friend. I think is because Girls go shopping, they gossip,text, go to lunch, and guys either go to movies or go to each others house and watch movies or play video games. They usually have many close friends and don't consider their closest friends 'best friends.' Girls usually need a shoulder to cry on, someone to vent to or just hang out with. They can more lonely, and need someone by their side. Guys don't really cry to their best friend about a ex girlfriend or complain about the exes new boyfriend, they just do it by themselves because they are afraid that the bff would think that they are weird or a baby or something.  

Answer 3

It all depends, you know? I've never had a best friend except for once in my lifetime. I'm a straight guy, but the only person that I can say was my best friend was a girl. I can say that I would've done anything for her, even to the point of dying. But that's not what you're looking for, right? Usually people have a best friend who's the same gender as them (or two, one from each).

I think that you're probably right and that girls are more committed to eac other, but think of something else: guys are closer in that they won't change over something that happens between them.

My best friend almost became my girlfriend at one point. It didn't work out because we were (or at least I) were too afraid to lose the other. In the end, she ended up pushing me away completely. While I could still call her my best friend (or just my friend at all), she was the closest  I ever was to another person. She was my world (not to be too dramatic) and without her, I still feel incomplete. That's my story (or at least the shortest version) and I regret nothing of it. Good luck with whatever you're doing, dude.

Answer 4

i think the difference is that guys dont like showing there emptional side lol so i think that it just seems that girls have better stronger relationships

Answer 5

I agree with you to an extent.

I think women are able to-- how do I say this the right way?-- feel emotion more deeply than men are able to. Of course men feel emotion, but I think women, since we tend to be more emotional and, well, "needy", are able to form strong attachments more easily. Things seem to affect women more deeply than they do men, which is also another reason why our bonds seem to go so deep.

I've only had two best friends-- the kind of friends I would die for-- twice in my life. One of them, the girl, is so much like me. We clicked instantly and grew to be great friends. I suppose you could say we were kindred spirits. I loved her. I still love her. We had major issues, though. We would either get along fantastically or fight constantly. In the end, we decided it was better that we weren't friends (and it is). We haven't talked in a few years, and it's extremely awkward to be around her, but I still care for her deeply. She meant the world to me. I've never been quite the same since we ended our friendship, but I suppose that happens when you lose people you care for.

My other best friend is a guy. I love him more than I know how to say. I don't look at him romantically at all; it's not *that* kind of love. But I would do anything for him. He's one of the only people in the world who  can cheer me up if I'm feeling down, without being annoying ;). Lol. He's always been there for me, and (this sounds so corny) basically kept me sane when I was going through a rough time. He's quite different from me; he's an outgoing, girl crazy, rambunctious, an extrovert, life of the party, etc. I, on the other hand, am more of a quiet, somewhat shy, introvert who doesn't like to be around groups of people. Our personalities go well together, though, for some reason. Like I said-- I don't see him romantically, but I love him. He's the best, and dearest, friend I've ever had.
