Each of us genetically egocentrist. We are created in such a way that we cannot physiologically set others objects above own and if some and can act this way, so any psychologist will tell that it is defect.
Male friendship exists, of course. However, under the term friendship, people mean various things.
Mutual aid and mutual benefit
The true male friendship is when men gather and behind a glass tell all the sorrows and misfortunes in a confidential circle. Men need such discharge, they need communication among themselves, on the one hand, to ego-trip (at others even worse, than at you), to receive a consolation, and, after all, to feel the force, experience, awareness, consoling another.
It, male friendship differs in nothing from women's though forms of a consolation and complaints at men and women look differently.
Joint interests and common cause
But men are able with each other and to cooperate. It at us turns out well, does not contradict egocentrism. To work on something the general, to sacrifice the interests for the sake of the prime target – in terms of psychology, it more than normally.
Difference male and female friendship
Here we approached that point where easily speaks why male friendship is stronger than women's.
Women are evolutionarily monogamous, men – poligamna. Women, whatever girlfriends from the cradle they were, always remain competitors and as soon as between them the man appears, they will become the most terrible enemies.
Men, being polygamous, are not obliged to compete with each other. Therefore women are not able to cooperate, they can only compete.
The common notion on male friendship
Firm male friendship (in that primitive sense of the word) for the adult lasts only until he does not get the beloved and the serious relations, family, children. Just because the adult has new paramount priorities.
Those who ask a question whether there is a male friendship give examples of the following pseudo druzhb which we most often also perceive as friendship true.
It is friendship for the sake of friendship. To one it is boring for the person therefore we also get friends for the general pastime. There are also communications - it is people with whom you get the friendly relations, understanding that with such persons it is better not to miss contact. It is also friendship for the sake of the social status (Here I have what a friend!), for the sake of increase in a position and material benefit.
Well, and friendship on interests. That is – soccer, fishing, hunting. Your friendship is based on the general tastes, preferences, but is not global in any way.
