Define Friend

[His_kitty]

Our "true friends" can be counted on the fingers of one hand, with fingers left over.

They are the people with whom you can sit for hours and say nothing, or discuss everything from politics to personal fears. The ones who call you "just to check in and make sure you're doing okay."
The person who listens when you're heartbroken and offers no advice because they know there isn't any advice in the world that will mend your heart.
The person who is more thrilled than you are when your life goes well.
The person who knows they can tell you you're a pompous ass who needs a major attitude adjustment, and knows you'll hug them for saying so.
The person who admits to not having the answers, but will offer to help you find those who might.
The person who doesn't count time spent with you as an expense to be repaid.

Friends don't keep scorecards.

True friends are a blessing. I hope you all have at least one.

A best friend is a gift that lasts till the end,
Who won't dump me at the next bend.
One who is there for me whenever,
He'll be there always and forever.
When I am sad he makes me feel better,
Just by writing me a letter.
When I have problems I just give him a call,
And together we can solve them all.
When I'm struggling with life's test,
He's there to help me do my best.
He has a gift of honest love,
That's given from heaven up above.
Even when he has things on his mind,
He is willing to give me some of his time.
This gift of friendship I will hold dear,
And hope that he will always be here.
My best friend, I won't give up today,
Not now, not ever, NO WAY!

A Lasting Friendship

Some people are fortunate enough to meet someone with whom they share a lasting friendship - even though they each may follow their separate paths. The special times spent together, the people and places shared, are memories both will always have. They are the people remembered always, who live in the heart no matter what...always a thought or a phone call away, even if the years have come between...

This is for you, my special friend, given with a special kind of love...Thank you for all the times in my life you were such a vital part of, and for being the unique essence of our lasting friendship.

Some people would argue differently, but in many ways I think friends - real friends - are more important then family or lovers. In a romantic relationship, both people get closer then what friendship normally allows and they become attached.

When one half of the relationship makes a mistake, it hurts more and destroys trust faster then it would in a friendship. Friendship is more durable then relationships.

When a family member is there for you, it can sometimes be out of obligation, not because they truely want to help you. Friends are there because they *choose* to be there; they give you their phone number so you can wake them up in the middle of the night with an emergency and do so willingly. You have the numbers of family members because they might want to see their nephews, nieces, or grandchildren; it has little to do with being their in your hardest times.

how would you define a freind?

what is freindship, what makes a good freind?

Who knows for sure?

We never really know if those closest to us are genuine or not. It all comes down to faith, and faith can be decieving.

I hate to be the one who slows the flow of positive energy here, but in the end very few people are who we're defining as true friends in this thread, even if we have faith that they are.

All we can really believe in is our own ability to be that person for others, and hope we inspire the same actions in return.

Just my two cents...

 

[intrigued]

A real friend tells you the truth, even when you don't want to hear it. A real friend will be willing to jeapordize the friendship if in doing so it is in your best interest. A real friend is your mirror. The person that reflects the true you and understands you. Just as you do your friend.

Very nice.

I think that they may not always understand you, but they will atleast try to.

For Shanny my true friend......

She will be there at all hours and at any expense. To give me a shoulder to cry on and a slap upside the head when I need it. She'll never tell me I have food on my face or in my teeth....because its funnier that way! I won't tell her she's tucked her skirt in her pantyhose for the same reason! She makes me want to be a better person. She gives me the light in my life when it seems so dark. She always farts in my car before she leaves....just so I'll remember her! We've sat on the phone for hours not saying a word....but just knowing someone was there helped us sleep. Has seen me at my worst, and still loves me.

She is truly my soulmate...my life....and my pain in the ass! That's my true friend.

 

[Kuntmode]

Anyone want to my friend? I just got rid of all mine. They weren't doing all the things you lot mentioned above. Fucking scum!!

I give a mean clitoris arousal if any ladies are interested?

Still incapable of speaking with your own voice? Like we're impressed with your copying ability?

Is this your justification for using your wife? And the other women that you vowed "undying love" for?

You are a piece of shit. You still don't have a clue and don't have the slightest idea of what it is to be a man, you never will.

Rationalize away numnutz (thank you for that line HS).
