Doing better at our friendships
Jamie
Many men want the simplest things from a friendship. If their beliefs and ideals align, in many cases that is what it takes to forge a long-lasting friendship.
Men can ignore some of the negative quirks in a friend’s character as long as what brought them together stays intact.
They do not over-analyze the whole history and character of an individual and judge them over the people they speak to or sleep with.

Men tend to not hold on to things. We move on quickly and don’t necessarily relate one thing to another in the way that women do.
Our friendships are based on actions and not words really. I think that because women are more about affirmation, if/when it doesn’t come or gets changed along the way, she one who is offended feels betrayed.
We are not like that. As long as my friend is there when I need them, and this doesn’t even have to be physically being there, I am okay and even if they don’t come and give a reason or don’t, I’ll still move on.

Tolerance is the pass word! And living and let live too! Men will take for granted even the most annoying thing about a friend, look at it, move on and accept the home boy as he’s.
We don’t get bothered by small things and we take life a little easier. Women pay too much attention to detail - some of you are bothered about how your friend talks to your guy, insecure, paranoid and intolerant, or rather too impatient with others.
Ladies also want to be perfectionists whereas men take things easy. It’s those small things!

I don't see how and why women would want to have their friendships to be like those of men. Men are mostly opportunistic, that’s why their “friendships” seem to last, because as long as factors hold constant, there is no need to change a winning formular.
Women on the other hand act on natural instinct; if she feels you are nolonger worth it, she dumps you. This maybe triggered by something as small as a suspicion.
So, to me, I don't think women should change; just be what you are. the world has survived with your eratic behavior for this long, am sure we will continue being fine.
