I've learned a lot about male friendship in the past few years. My most notable lesson is that for friendships formed outside of school/military, it's simply a transaction of value. Guys will just size you up to see what tangible items you can bring into their life, whether it's pussy, job opportunities, parties, etc. Aditionally, guys don't really have time or desire to maintain friendships outside of work or school unless there is tangible benefit.
Just a disclaimer: My experience takes place with NYC young adult social politics.
I've started to wonder how male friendships would function in a monogamous and less brutal sexual marketplace. I think that women's power in the sexual marketplace has huge consequences towards adult male relationships, especially in a large city of mostly singles.
If guys don't have pussy on the agenda then it's a radically different social environment. More time spent with male friends thats not involving chasing ass. Women's opinions won't play a factor in group politics. Nightclub connections will diminish in importance. There won't be a pack of thirsty hounds jumping when you bring sets.
In order to keep friendships, I need to consistently show that I have high SMV/value or they will come to an end.
