“As the years go by, and friendship in the heart forever.” There is something more than memories about childhood, first love and dashing antics. It is about friendship. About a real friendship with those with whom you recently went sledding, played football, went to guys takedowns and tried the first alcohol. It’s more than friends – they are real brothers.

There are basic rules of male friendship. They are not abstruse written by the Professor or researchers that may be alien to the concept of true friendship. Such dogmas were formed and practice for decades. Let’s consider them in more detail.

Friendship with no expiration date

Unlike women who love to exchange “pleasantries”, type: “you’re a friend, for the whole week you called only 3 times!”, men can not be seen and not to call a month or more, while not having to each other any claims.

After changing job, residence, Hobbies, going out of your familiar life, yielding place to new. But they are your brothers will always be there, despite your social status, money and health.

Bros and girls

No woman should be between friends. Because the girl is easy to find, and a true friend – no. Bro never get to a girl. In addition, in some male circles there is a taboo on sexual contact with former friends.

Male solidarity

Solidarity among men does exist. No matter how hard it is to criticize and refute ladies, it really is. But women’s solidarity – the concept is questionable. In their world is competition, and even jealousy. While no one is arguing that. Neither men nor women.

Helping hand

Friends are always each other help. This can be a call in the night asking to come to help to manage the situation. Also can help with household issues, the repair of an apartment or car. And, of course, the case smacks of idiocy is no exception. Yes! Even friends do stupid things together.

The back cover

When there’s danger or trouble, a true friend will always protect you. He will write better writer believable stories and tell them to your wife, or the tax authorities.

No the word “no”

Friends, as a rule, do not refuse each other’s requests. Usually all feasible. And the desire to deny the man does not even arise.

Friendship is friendship and business apart

Dangerous adventure – a joint business with a friend. After all, money can ruin not only the person but also friendship. In addition, there may arise many situations in which your opinions will not converge, and it will not tolerate delay.

Married friend is not a joking matter

Often in different movies, and in reality, you can see how friends make fun of a married man. Of course, a true friend can joke and not be offended. However, when you think of the next joke, remember: “we’ve All been there”.

“Don’t tell me what to do”

Friends accept each other for what they are. A friend is a person who sincerely values and respects you without all your masks and designed for someone behaviour. However, we should not teach each other to live and to give him a cautionary instruction. Even if all “lectures” will be heard, a friendship may crack.

Even if you don’t make millions, do not occupy the desired position, but have real friends – you’re incredibly rich. Friendship enriches morally and spiritually. When these components of your life are in harmony, you have all chances to achieve the desired height.
