  • GENDER PATTERNS IN FRIENDSHIPS

    hmm, I would like to know when this study was performed. Furthermore i would also like to know where it took place. Where i believe there ARE patterns in relationships between same sexed friendships i certainly do not believe they are as strong as this study makes them out to be.

    This says that men who be friend disabled people oftentimes end up nailing them. Pretty funny.

    People don't fit into neat little boxes. I know that brainy people like to try and do this because it helps them in their brainy persona but the exceptions outweighs the rule here. Sorry brains, you will have to come up with another theory over your flavored coffee. This like many stats only exist to fulfill your self serving desire to appear intelligent. And again it falls short.

    References or not, most of this is "common sense" knowledge. And really, who cares? Sociology is bunk, and this is a particularly bunk sub-discipline of sociology. BUNKERY DOO-DAH. I'm liking the word bunk today. bunk-bed. underground BUNKer. Slam... bunk.

    Friendship is over-rated. P.S. Who cares if the person who wrote this has a degree or not? It was a short and simple essay with references you can check out it you're really interested.

    dates indicate this to be somewhat dated. it would be most interesting to analyze the same now. how much of this was based on societal gender norms and how much was biology.

    From the page: "women's friendships have been devalued and seen as frivolous and superficial (Bell, 1981; Block, 1980; Fasteau, 1991; Rubin, 1985)" Probably because women's friendships are frivolous and superficial. Get a group of men together and they talk about matters outside their own sphere--even if it's only pro sports. Get a group of women together and they're either gushing about their Precious Snowflakes, bitching about said Snowflakes, or making catty remarks about one another.
