Actually iv’e found women treat freindship like glass. Like they’re more sensitive to percieved slights and if you don’t call them on a particular day when you normally do they’ll pick up on it and ask you etc etc.
With guy’s you can beat the shit out of each other and just carry on the next day. It’s different but women are actually really good friends…
Women’s friendships seem to be deeper, but men’s friendships appear to be stronger and more resilient, perhaps because there are fewer expectations that are prone to being disappointed.
A lot more women are willing to ditch their friends to get into their boyfriends’ circle of friends than the other way around.
+1.
I have a couple of girl friends who leave me when they enter a relationship. Whenever other friends and I asked if they wanted to join parties, bbqs clubbing…with us, they refused; they were busy with their boyfriends!. We stop including them cuz their answers were always “No, sorry… I and my boyfriend blah blah blah…” . They only came back when the relationship did not go well or were broken up. They started contacting us again and blamed us for forgetting them with some complaints like " what? you went to the concert last nite? why didn’t u call me? I wanna go too" … I cannot get it !!!
They make the relationship their whole life?
on the road to definite failure if you ask me…

And those girls usually do make reasonably effort to show their boyfriends they are good girlfriends by treating the boyfriends’ friends extra well, like helping them out with things, making dinner reservations, getting concert tickets…
definitely way more effort than their own friends!
By deeper, i think you mean women share private information faster and easier than men do, but i don’t know if the bond is necessarily deeper they are just more willing to talk about themselves.
This must be an oriental thing.
Really? you think?
That may be true, but i do find that tendency.
Girls make more effort in breaking into their boyfriends’ group of friends.
Guys do not make that much effort to know their girlfriends’ friends, in fact, even if their girlfriends ask them to join, they would just sit there and not say a thing most of the time.

Bullcock.
Girls make more of an effort to destroy their bf’s friendships and isolate. Guys do not make an effort because their is no upside - you will not have relations with this other female and thus no point. Wait for it, wait for it, addressing the original question that guys and girls cannot co-exist with platonic relationships.
Getting too involved with your GF’s friends is just asking for trouble. Eventually, one of them will propose a threesome, and the guy will have to pretend he’s horrified when in fact he’s intrigued. Then you will find yourself imagining her friends while you’re in bed with your GF. One day you will call out the wrong name in the heat of passion, and then, BANG, it’s all over.
Best just to stay away and be friends at arms length. 
[this is not my actual opinion, but it just seemed fun to muse on the topic like this]
How do you meet new chicks apart from sarging then?
It’s so easy when you have female friends, they’ll be more than happy to introduce you to their friends…literally shooting fish in a barrel, rather than going to some club or wine tasting and then probably getting flaked on or banging her the same night and loosing interest.
Broski, I don’t know what kind of f’d up violence passes for a date in Equatorial Guinea, but 'round here if you bring a weapon to a date she’s liable to run.
I know this. Thought it would be romantic to carve our names in a tree on the first date…she ran as soon as I pulled out the knife.
You should have wiped off the blood from the last date, man.
Thanks for making me look up sarging.
I thought the question related to a relationship - therefore i wouldnt be able to partake in the good ol bang and loose interest.
How do I meet new women? I tell them I’m a virgin and Im waiting for marriage then ask them about their day.
Having women friends is good, but most times women have tried setting me up with their friends it hasn’t been so great. If you’re not attracted to their friend, then you often find yourself having to defend why. If you are hot for their friend but for whatever reason aren’t into having a relationship with them, you have to defend why you aren’t a jerk for trying to sleep with them. If you try a relationship, but it doesn’t work for whatever reason, you often end up losing both the GF and the friend, which can also suck.
Many times, one gets the feeling that you are the catch and your friend is actually trying to do a bigger favor to her friend than she is for you.
If a woman wants to set me up with one of her friends, I usually suggest doing something casual in a big group and just see if there is chemistry. Most of the time, there isn’t, or it feels very forced.
Agreed that bars are boring places to pick up women, but sometimes they are more exciting than match.com.
Seriously bruh. Apart from school and college the girl’s iv’e dated were both friends of my friends girlfriends. What are your options in the ‘real world’? It seems the best way to meet a girl who has her head screwed on is through social circles provided you aren’t a nutcase and you’re just increasing your chances if you have female friends.
Yea alarm bells would ring if any of my friends ever tried to set me up with someone, no quality girl worth her salt would agree to that. It’s just that you’re meeting way more women through their friend circles so at least you have options to do what you want.
If you haven’t been a dick about the split i see no reason why your female friend would give a damn or ignore you for that matter but i have zilch experience in that.
Can men and women be friends? Hmmm…if I just wanted a friend, I’d get a dog.
