Is it possible for females to be True Friends - by that I mean, you love each other in a Platonic sense, but you'd fucking die for each other if the event ever arose? Or do women worship their own asses too much to be so devoted to a friendship? Or do they not conceive of honour the same way we dudes do?

I think the problem with male-female friendships tend to be the males that want to fuck the females, not the chicks

are you trying to say that women lack the ability to be selfless based on their gender?

>>3899906 In my honest opinion , yes a woman can die for you. Loyalty is probably more present in men but i believe a woman can whether in just a pure friendship relationship (no sex) be so connected with a man to die for him.

Some of the best friends I've had have been women. Women and gay guys can give you great insight about where you're at in your life as far as your social circumstances are concerned.

No. Women are incapable of loyalty and general bro-ness. Female friendship is like a facebook friendship: Its basis is reciprocal flattering ingratiation.

I don't see why not, but I also don't see why. Except in the case of parental relationships where there is very strong bonding to ensure the survival of the offspring. Women can be bros too, but jealousy seems to be their cliche trait as opposed to protectiveness, in regards to romantic/platonic relationships. I think this is due to their social and emotional focused attributes over our (men) physical ones.

Of course it's possible to have platonic relationships with women, but I don't think it's possible, for lack of a better word, to have a female 'nakama'. Women just don't seem equipped, or at least, instilled with values of loyalty and camaraderie. I'm not going to get into an argument over whether or not it's a nature vs nurture issue, but yeah, that's just the way it is.

I think it's different for women. Every female has one or two friends max that they would jump into a stupid bullshit fight for, but the majority of their "friends" they would let their ass get whupped if they started some shit With guys I think the honor overrides the actual friendship status sometimes. Like if a guy was out with 5 co-workers maybe 3 are pretty close friends and one is an acquaintance and the other guy he doesn't *really* like but is cool with for the sake of his other friends, he will jump into a fight for any one of them, it's a sort of pack mentality, protect the pack at any cost. women don't have this instinct because their instinct in nature would be to hang back and protect the kids, even if there's no kids present they have more of a retreat instinct. thats why it's women and children first, men can fight, you have to protect the kids, but if all the men die then someone has to care for the children.

And we all know how being a beta phag and not honouring your bro will lose you social points. Also, due to our tribal nature, social status is basically the hierarchy of survival. >>3900147 >excuses >not wanting to understand the world you live in

I have however, been in a friendship group with both males and females, where one is accepted based on the quality of their being rather than their having a penis or vagina. I'm unsure of your question. Are you asking why a close group of males can be called a brotherhood as opposed to a sisterhood? Are you unaware of the gender differentiation implied in the terms "brother" and "sister"?

Whereas a man often has other goals and ambitions, like rising to the top of his field, creating things or pursuing his passion, a woman's goal in life amounts to little more than getting the best man she can in life to provide sperm and patronage, or possibly different men for the former and the latter. What this ends up meaning for women is that at some point after puberty, all the people they say that they're "friends" with are really viewed by them as potential competitors who could steal their man and whom they only hang out with because doing so raises their social status and makes it more likely for them to meet men. As such this means they have virtually no loyalty to their "friends" and will gossip about them to other people at a moments notice and it also means that once they find a man their friends will become totally peripheral. So no, grown women as a whole do not truly have life-long friends the way men do.

I am a female and would die for some of my platonic male friends. OP why would you assume otherwise? Gender has nothing to do with meaningful friendships. this one friend and I are open about not wanting to date each other but we still say we love each other and can be flirty together. I'm not going to lie and say I haven't thought about fucking his brains out but I would be very offended if someone told me that I don't care for him enough to die for him just because I'm a woman.

You guys are being faggots about this. You can have female friends without compulsively trying to fuck them. This unfortunately requires a character trait known as "self-restraint" which very few people seem to possess.

>>3900774 Absolutely. I have a couple male friends (platonic) I would do that for.

>>3901366 sexual attraction cannot be influenced by self-restraint; it's involuntary. However one's actions on said attraction CAN be influenced. I'm guessing that's what you meant? If not, you need to go back to your planet and re-study the human race.

>>3900600 Sorry to burst your bubble, but as a female that's my preferred method of getting into a relationship. Mostly because >trust and rapport are already established >fondness breeds attraction But that will never happen. Men don't want to be friends. Because then it becomes "friendzoning" and I'm just a dumb whore trying to suck away their time and energy for purely selfish reasons in their eyes. I want a man that doesn't think of me as an object to be won or gained. I want a man that thinks of me as a person and a friend. I want a companion who shares with me a mutual feeling of trust, care and respect. But I will never have that.

I would die for a female friend, and for my family. Unfortunately, most men don't want to be "just friends" and get quite pissy and passive aggressive otherwise so I wouldn't extend them the favor or expect it to be extended to me.

I'm devoted to a friendship only because I want to be with him if my current boyfriend and I ever break up.

>>3902865 >Sorry to burst your bubble Um, I'm not exactly sure how we're in disagreement. Friendship can be a gateway to a decent relationship. If men don't want to be friends with you, well... sucks for you. You're likely in good company here.

I'd give my life to protect my brother. I don't have any friends I'm close enough to do that for.

>>3902976 Oh, maybe I misconstrued your meaning based on the fact that you specifically stated that your perspective was many /guys/ want to hook up with friends.. I apologize. I was just mad.

>>3903006 Sure it is. You're keeping him alive in case Man A disappears or whatever.

i don't know about you OP but i wouldn't die for my friends not because i'm a woman or selfish but my friends are shitheads that aren't really worth it maybe if i wasn't friends with mostly shithead druggy NEETs on the dole i'd die for them but as of now it doesn't seem like a worthy sacrifice they're fine friends but i'm not gonna fool anyone i'm really the only guy in our group that has anything going for him in life

>>3903025 I guess. We've been friends for years and over time I developed strong feelings for him. When I told him how I felt, he shot me down, saying he didn't feel that way... so I let go of those feelings. Couple months ago I got a boyfriend and only then did my friend tell me how he regretted not being with me and that he was scared to be with me or something idk. I still see him as a friend and the way I feel about my boyfriend has only become stronger, but if we ever broke up, I'd probably end up with my friend indefinitely.

I'd die for my best male friend. It may not count just because he is more than a friend to me, but our ambitions are too different and as of recently we're too far away to take our relationship anywhere. He is not the most motivated person in the world right now, and it's possible I would be able to have a more productive life and more positive influence on the world than he would, but the best I could hope for is that my death would motivate him somehow... I wouldn't die for my female friends. It will sound narcissistic, but their lives just aren't worth as much as mine. I enjoy hanging out with them and help them when it doesn't involve laying down my life, but they're sluts of slightly above average intelligence getting useless degrees, it would be just plain irrational to give my life for them.

I wouldn't die for a friend. for any friend. even my best one. I love this motherfucker, but I am too much of a pussy to do that. I'd take a lesser paying job, if that means we could drink more often together, but that's about it.

it matters on if she is a bro or not. at work i have to a girl who is a bro. we both kind of know that we wouldn't bang each other, she is married with kids. we talk about stuff and she is just like a guy.
