Oh gee i wonder why a surface level friendship lasts longer than a friendship where the people ACTUALLY get to know and learn each other to then come to the conclusion of what kind of person they really are 🤔

Because we aren’t shopping for boyfriends. I don’t need to know my guy friends life story for him to be a friend

That’s exactly why there are so many more terrible people in men’s friend groups they think are innocent. You don’t take any time to see who this person genuinely is that when you find out something crazy they did it’s a shock, but you know better because you overlook things. I’m not saying know his SSN but at least know him outside of a few things?

Easier to drop friends when you don’t know much about them, but friends are even better when there’s no rhyme or reason as to why we are hanging out.

You seem very detached by your first point and I’m sorry you think that way. That second point, however, is exactly what women try to do, most of our best friends can’t remember when we became friends or why, just that we share something and like to hang out. There’s no ulterior motive for us, just like for you. However, when you know someone deeply, I imagine it’s easier to drop them if their personality is crappy. To know someone casually, dots don’t connect and it seems like a one-off

Personally I’d disagree with your last point. I feel that it’s harder to drop someone the more you know about them. You learn the reasons why they are who they are and do what they do.

And it is detached. We don’t have to see each other in years and we are still friends. That will never change, but I can go that same amount of time not talking to a friend. I’m still best friends with someone I went to kindergarten with but at BEST we talk 4 times a year
