Having a male friend is very meaningful. He's in some ways like a brother and a boyfriend. He is someone that I can trust and rely on. Having a male as a friend has it's ups and downs. We can be comfortable about talking about any and everything. We have so much respect and love for one another we know that this bond is secrete. I would prefer a male friend over a female any day. It's nothing like a friendship with the opposite gender. I appreciate all the time we spend together. We give each other relationship advice without getting too involved. He has been my best friend for over 11 years and I wouldn't trade that for nothing in the world.

It is a friendship like any other friendship. Some are better than others. I appreciate my friendships as much as they merit the appreciation. I appreciate my friendship with my co-worker quite a bit. She is someone to bug at work, talk to and drink beer with. I would be sad if anything happened to her, but I don't feel super close to her or anything. My Good friend shelly, on the other hand I Love to peices, though we are far apart and both often buisy so we don't talk too often I would be devastated if anything happened to her. She has to be my Best Friend who is just a friend and a Girl, and is probably my second or third best friend period. When we see each other we always chat and hang out. Hugs are always mandatory, as well as fun and good cheer in any form that is available (though I still haven't convinced her to have sex with me ). She is only one of 3 women I would ever marry counting my first girlfriend (who is now married and has a family) and the Woman I totally Love 'in that way'. She is the woman I have the best relationship with and I appreciate it VERY much. Good friends are worth more than anything. She is one of my best.

I have an excellent friendship with a man that I have known since we were VERY young. My mom and his aunt were best friends while growing up. The relationship that I have with him is one of the most important relationships that I have ever had. I love him, I always have and always will. We've probably known eachother since we were 6 or 7. We played together, walked to school together. Once we got older we gave eachother advice on issues with eachothers g/f's and b/f's. I used to think it was cute that no guy I ever dated was ever good enough for me in his eyes. In high school we always took eachother to the homecomings and the proms. He wanted us to date but I was terrified of ruining our friendship so we never did. He is currently in the marines and we talk on a regular basis. He is married and I am engaged to be married and we are still very close. We have known eachother for 18 years now :)

If you want to know the truth, the whole truth, and NOTHING but the truth....a guy and girl just can't have a "friendly" relationship with no benefits...i'm not saying a girl and guy can't be friends, but what i'm saying is, if you're asking "how do you appreciate it, and so on....then that friendship is just a romance hidden behind closed doors. I've had so many friendly relationships with guys...and one of them, i REALLY appreciated, the importance of it...and so on...and eventually, i am married and have a child, and i am still overly obsessed and in love with my growing up best friend who is a male. of course....behind closed doooors... :)

I just got married about 6 months ago and I sometimes miss the dating scene. Marraige is absolutly wonderful; my wife and I are faithful to each other and we have a great time struggling through life.
Some answers to your questions:
1. A true gf/bf makes you want to be a better person when you're around him or her.
2. A true friend listens to your interests and doesn't try to convince you or change you (it takes time to discover this in other people.
3. People will tend to treat you how you treat them: serve your bf/gf. Ask them get-to-know-you questions. Listen. Tell them you think they are a good person.
These things are taught from the LDS church (Mormons). I truly believe their teachings are inspired by God. This church is the only one who has living prophets. Anyway - the teachings are great, they always help me with really tough questions like this one (also how to better your trust and friendship.) You'll have to check it out. Mormon.org
take care

Strange question, but it means the same to me as my other friendships. I am not so concerned with the gender of the person as I am as how much we are able to connect as friends.

most exasperating, i guess.. well, some guys are too self conscience. i mean, it happen to most of the guys i met. some of them expect more than friendship while i only wanted to be friends.. you know, i lost a friend once because other people makes rumors that i like him, or something like that.. we are not happy about it, but we never talk about it. and when we do, we got into a fight. and things are just never the same until today..
but i do have other male friends that remains as friends!
so you see, i really want to be friends with people who doesn't expect more of me.. and i value friendship like i always does, and always will.. its something sacred..

i love it especially when its close enough where u can be truly honest with them and treat them as they were a friend of the same sex. my best friend is a guy. actually both of them. i was skeptical at first, i thought they were being nice to get in my room, but theyre real cool, and they know like everything about my relationships with guys that i like too.
its cool, and it gives u a different prospective on things too.

I love having guy friends! To me, it's a whole other faction of friends to gain different experiences and insighs about situations. My best relationship is with a friend i've had since grade six, who taught me what guys are like, how to talk to them (how to manipulate them :D just kidding...or am i?) etc.
