8 Reasons Male Friendships Are More Special

Friendships are important part of our life. We all need friends to share our joys and sorrows. A good friend will multiply our happiness and reduce our sadness. Friendships have no age bar or gender bar. The things that draw people together in friendship are the wavelength they share in tastes or cultures.

Even though there is no gender restraint on any friendship, a male friendship is different from a female one. It is rare that we come across a male-female relationship that ends up as just good friends. But, such relationships are to be treasured because they contain the best aspects of fondness and affection.

RULES TO KEEP FRIENDSHIPS STRONG!

It would not be fair to say that male friendships are better than female friendships or vice versa. Each one has their own positives and negatives. But, even then, both men and women generally prefer for male friendships. You may have friends from either sex, but do you wonder why you are more comfortable with your male friends?

Men friends may seem shallow and cold but they do care about their loved ones. Sometimes, they may not show it like women do and more often than not, they are misunderstood over this fact.

Here we are going to discuss the special features of male friendships.

Open your heart

Open your heart

The true beauty of having men friends is that you can open your heart to them with full trust. He will not bother and pester you like a woman might, until you disclose what is on your mind.

Live the moment

Live the moment

Men friends get together to live the moment. They are not bothered by unnecessary formality or the awkwardness if they forgot a friend's birthday. They are not bothered by trivial matters and proceed to have fun.

Value what you are

Value what you are

Men friends are not bothered by the fact that they do not know your favourite food or your kid's names or other personal details of your life. They prefer to be with you for the way how you present yourself before them.

Stand by you always

Stand by you always

Male friendships are very special in that they will always stand by you. They are not riddled with envy or jealousy. If they are your true friends, they will always support you in your decisions.

No drama

No drama

Male friendships lack the drama that is often found in female friendships. There is no leader of the pack for men. They will be clear and transparent with their own stubborn opinion and they will often tell it without hesitation.

Mutuality in friendships

Mutuality in friendships

Male friendships often sprout up when two men are going through the same things in their lives like marriage or fatherhood or loss of a loved one. Men tend to bond over these mutual things and remain friends for life.

Less talk, more action

Less talk, more action

Male friendships are more about doing things together than talking about things. This is due to the gender difference between men and women. Men do not have the need to talk about everything they do to each other.

No judgment

No judgment

Perhaps the greatest thing about male friendships is that men friends do not judge you no matter what you say or do. You can be who you are without fear of getting evaluated.
