Friends, I Have Seen Them Fall

Now that a lot of us are spending time on forums, facebook and MSN, it becomes really easy to make a ‘friend’. However, I think one really needs to watch out whom they choose to spend their time with. When you spend your time online all the time whining and complaining about your lack of direction in life/studies/career, it is always easy to find ‘friends’ because many are lonely drifting existences who hates EVERYTHING like you too! Therefore, after having enough bitching online, you meet up, have a drink, a meal, and continue whining. It feels good but nothing gets done. I used to do that myself, meeting people who are so negative they suck the energy out of me. You thought you were supposed to feel better after meeting new friends, but it turns out that you feel even emptier after meeting them, because seriously, friendship takes time and effort to cultivate, and having something in common such as - a sad life, does not make you friends.

“What differentiates a friend from an acquaintance?” and “When does a friend turn into an acquaintance? “ blogger and Cowboy Barfly Fatkitten asks.

Although she does argue her point very eloquently - I am guessing the answer is vastly different for women as compared to men.

To men, a friend is:

1. Your brudder
2. The one who will answer the 3am call and drive out to rescue you
3. When asked for a loan, asks “how much” instead of “why”
4. blessed with a different taste in women
5. honestly tells you why your current girlfriend is a bitch
6. refuses to take the last beer/cigarette
7. lies on your behalf to anybody, even the police
8. tells you about his success/failures before he tells his woman

Men are such simple creatures to please.

Hear! Hear!

Addendum:

vii.a Even the wife.

of course!

men are such simple creatures to please cos we are simple to start with. =P
any simpler, and we’ll all be beasts.

We can be sexay beasts

That is why I wish I’m a guy…sometimes. But still the penis is not a beautiful appendage.

Women are quite similar to men lah… IMHO..

To women, a friend is:

1) Your sister
2) The one who will answer the 3am call and listen to you cry..
3) lend you money to buy that dress you love..
4) blessed with a different taste in men
5) honestly tells you why your current boyfriend is a bastard
6) eats the last piece of chocolate / cake
7) tell you white lies when you need to hear it..
8) tells you the hot gossips before anyone else know

jaschocolate > disinformation from a woman… you lies…

I only lie when i have to say that you are sexy..

any simpler, u shld be amoebas, not beasts.

doh

thats a right list haha. and i agree, not to be ‘disturbed’ with the energy-suckers.
