The Benefits of Friendship Period
Having a buddy who is super strong and willing to throw down on your behalf, that's appealing. So it's hard to know whether that's just a straight up benefit of friendship period or if it is a benefit that comes with mating. Do men look for anything in women friends that is out of line with what they look for in women mates? Yeah, I'm not sure. It would be interesting if, for example, men might use their opposite sex friends as kind of empathy and social support - which isn't necessarily encouraged in male dynamics.
