I was thinking about that the other day.
A boyfriend or girlfriend is one in a committed relationship. But a girlfriend can be a female's buddy. A boyfriend is never a male's buddy.
A male friend or lady friend is a buddy of the opposite sex.
So what is a man's male buddy? I guess, just friend.

the proper comparison ought to be between boy-friend and girl-friend. I always found the specification 'male' added to 'friend' a bit superfluous or exaggerated. Notice also the use of term girlfriend when used by girls: they have girlfriends in asexual relationships. They also have boyfriends (=sexually involved,) and they have also male friends (no sex here, just pure friendship). Aah, how this war of sexes has complicated things onesidedly..l

If you are male:
A girlfriend will like to be alone with you. A male friend will want other male friends around too.

Males tend to think more from their head(logical, intelectual) women tend to think from their hearts. The two balance each other very well. Friends of both sexes are good for that balance. Merry Christmas.
