Do men and women have different priorities and expectations in friendship?

Men are proud to have friendships they can rely on. They tend to maintain friendship for years without major changes. How they stay close to have less emotional conflict. Men have similar requirements to maintain a strong friendship, but need to reduce parenting. In most cases, the drama to deal with is very little. When there is a disagreement, they often deal with it quickly and affirmatively.

Women may be more emotionally sensitive to certain issues, which can lead to friendship tensions. Men still have best friends for a long time, but there are often a group of people who hang out regularly. No one has any possessiveness. I often appreciate this in men I know.
