Why are good friends hard to find?

I have only one really good friend that I met through my work about 5 years ago. I guess we get a long so well because we have a lot in common and she is not the typical catty and jealous female friend. I have other female friends but Im not as close to them. I prefer to have more male friends than female but I have had to cut a lot of my guy friends out of my life because they wanted to be F*** buddies...that's not happening. I need a guy friend that is very funny sweet mature and honest. Is it possible to find a guy with those qualities to be just a friend?

Why are good friends hard to find?
yes it is. sometimes its the most unlikely people who become your friends. For example I've had alot of female friends who I considered best friends but one way or another we grew apart. now I have to guy best friends which I love to death, we dont really see each other any more because we live in different cities and are really busy but I know that if I need something they are there for me. These kinds of friendships take years to cultivate and its not always the hot good looking guy who becomes your bff (but mine a pretty cute) you have to be able to set respect boundaries while also allowing them to be guys and talk and think as they may. it not an easy thing but its truly worth it. good luck

Reply:it very simple. its very expensive to be a good friend.because frindship cost a lot in terms of time, money , energy,etc. so called friends cling to you for silly reasons. you become overburdened. if each onecan manage their problem %26amp; meet only to share their joy %26amp; happiness with others. you will find such people as great friends.
Reply:Yes it is possible to find a guy friend that is funny, mature, honest and great to take shopping with. I have two guy friends that are like this. Believe me there are some guys that you can be very good friends with and its great because they will give me the guy's perspective on things and I will give them advice about their girls etc. Not all guy want girls to be there F-buddies some are genuinely interested in having a girl as a friend
Reply:sure they\re are , you have to look hard to find one, and sometimes i guess they are right in front of us all along and we let them walk on by. so maybe we need to lower our standards a bit
Reply:some women are petty, jealous and snobby and mean, it's true. it's hard to be friends with ppl like that. but some of us girls are genuinely nice people, but it's sometimes still a bit hard to find those friends





then yes, some guys only have one thing on their mind, while some just genuinely want to be friends. they're out there, and u'll find the right ones when the time is right, good luck
Reply:try looking for them in a woman. then u can be friends without having sex. women that have alot of male friends seem to like attention too much. u need to look close at who is the jelous one.
Reply:Kokocutie, let me tell you that I'm a guy humorous, honest, sweet and mature. But I need to let you know that you also must possess all these virtues if at all you want us to get along. If you believe you have them all then contact me right away through my profile. cya soonest.
Reply:Don't be discouraged. It sounds like you're prepared to be a loyal and supportive friend yourself, and that's the best way to get going. Plus, you have standards - you're not going to do just anything for friendship - so what friends you have will be good friends.





So it sounds like you have what it takes. Maybe, though, you could expand your circle by getting involved in places beyond your workplace or neighborhood. Volunteer, join a church, sign up for something. And listen. People love to be heard. Just heard, without judgment.





There are plenty of people out there who could use a good friend and would be a good friend. Reach out a bit more, and you'll be fine.





All the best-
