    Someone who will piss on you if you're on fire / give you the steam off their piss.

    Female: They put out
    Male: They pick up b!tches for you :)

    Jokes. A real friend has your back, won't talk badly about you when you aren't there, actually cares when you are depressed, doesn't judge and can have good banter with you even if ye end up taking the mick out of each other...

    Someone who will tell you you have lipstick on your teeth before you talk to everybody in the room.

    My best friend sends me the Amazon links to the books she thinks I'll like, and bullies me into taking care of myself when I'm stressed.

    A real friend is just someone who cares.

    I second that, someone who cares and knows when you're down or stressed, even if you don't tell them.

    Someone who sticks by you at all costs. There are people who will "befriend" you, but will run off when you get into the first sign of trouble.

    The world.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,293 ✭✭✭1ZRed


    Someone I can have a laugh with, I could talk to them about absolutely anything and that they have my back through everything, good or bad.

    Simple enough really.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,220 ✭✭✭✭biko


    That they're not imaginary.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,801 ✭✭✭Ruudi_Mentari


    Someone who is incredibly two-faced.. only they say the bad things to your face and the good things behind your back

    You may seem like the best of enemies, together in an eternal struggle to get along but the truth is very different.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 955 ✭✭✭Scruffles

    Friends are the family you choose for yourself. /sap

    A friend bails you out of jail.

    A good friend helps you bury the body.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,894 ✭✭✭UCDVet


    No such thing as a real friend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,169 ✭✭✭Zomg Okay


    When a friend misses school/college/work, you think "It's not like him/her to not come in. I hope he/she is alright."
    When a best friend misses school/college/work, you think "That son of a bitch left me here with nobody to talk to."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,885 ✭✭✭JuliusCaesar


    A friend isn't just there to tell you the good stuff, she also tells you when you're making a prat of yourself: when your lipstick is smeared, when you're being intolerant, or cranky, or mouthing off wrongly. A friend tells you about the good stuff in her life, and doesn't just moan about the bad stuff. A friend is someone who is interesting, and interested, and that you share interests with.

    Strangely, the friends who show up at a time of need aren't always the ones that you count as your best friends. Some of the most supportive people are those that you don't know well, but who show up with casseroles when you've suffered a bereavement, while your close friends say "tell me what you need" - but you don't even know that yourself.

    Its basically a relationship, isn't it.

    A particularly difficult one. Intimate, but without the touching. Or confiding, or any if that stuff indeed a lifetime of suspicion as to each others sexuality despite the fact you only ever harped on about women in that regard

    And probably hinder each others progress - they may reveal their hand almost forcibly giving off a "look I am only in this life for one woman whom I love, cherish and that ive.. not met yet. But soon as I do, you're gone!!" kinda vibe until it occurs to him he might need at least one actual friend in this life having realized he's just not a hit with the women, not for money let alone love. And in doing so shows his philosophical potential and that, is when true friendship dawns and when the more successful guy without even trying finally gets the friend he did crave moreso. And that is BFF.

    Knows you wear the SS uniform for the style and there's nothing more to it.
