Are friendships different between boys and girls? Studies say they are. Unlike women, men exhibit a completely different approach to the social circle they create.
Here are some key differences, but important enough to understand the difference.
1. Boys' friendships are less emotional.
Have you ever gotten too emotionally involved with a friend of yours? Well, in the world of boys, this doesn't happen. They have clear goals. Their friendships are more practical than emotional.
2. They spend less time maintaining friendships.
Friends for them just are. They don't need to make many compromises and sacrifices to keep them. A close friend for them can even be someone they haven't spoken to or met in a while. According to a study, where middle-aged men were asked to list their best friends, some of them included friends who had passed away, but they didn't even know it.
3. Support in their social circles varies
Friends (rarely) cry with each other. If you think that he cries on his friend's shoulder for you, let us tell you that you are thinking wrong. Unlike girls, boys are emotionally more distant, which makes them cry their troubles differently. As a result, the support they receive in their social circle also varies. According to studies, this happens due to the fear of prejudice. If they were to create closer connections, it would be misinterpreted by the masses. That's why, they choose to be more reserved.
4. Commitments
Of course, boys are loyal to their friends, but if they later get into a relationship or get married, their responsibilities change. The time they dedicate to them is much less.
This rationality in society turns out to be productive for them. Friendships between them are not fragile. There is no room for resentment there, or even if it does happen, the cases are rare.
