Devaluing Of Friendship

[Remy Danton]

Is friendship being devalued/trivialized? A individuals' most significant social relationships are 1. platonic 2. familial 3. romantic. But when we talk about love, we only seem to mean it in the lfirst and third. People nearly never say they love a individual of a non-attractive gender as a friend. In fact, when people say "I love you as a friend", it is almost always romantic rejection (because you can't REALLY love your friends!). Even the characterization of romantic relationships of being "more than friends" is significant


thoughts?

In this day and age, LOVE means buying stuff for women. I see this type of shyt on facebook all the time........

"My boyfriend just bought me the new iphone 5S. Feeling loved."
or
"My new boyfriend paid my traffic ticket. Feeling loved."

I think I need you to be more specific in your question.
"Is friendship being trivialized" --- what makes you say that?
Because people tend to talk about platonic/romantic love?
I don't think I even buy that premise.
What I think might carry more weight is: "Is friendship for sale?"
There's a great line in The Godfather Part 2 after the botched attempt on Michael's life where Michael is talking to Tom Hagen, trying to figure out who was behind the attack -- if maybe it was an inside job.
Michael tells Tom: "All our men are Business Men. And loyalty is based on that."
So to make the connection....do you think friendship (and thereby loyalty) is becoming more and more based on opportunity?
Well, maybe.
Personally, I value friendship very highly. I don't have many of them. And the ones that I do call my friends...I have no problem admitting that I love them very much. And on a certain level, I look up to them. But I don't tie my friendships to what people can offer me.
Sorry if this seemed like a meandering response.

Friendship isn't being devalued.

People are.​

Good friends are hard to come by, I mostly have associates.

The thing is this when friendship its a relationship:

male/male
female/female
male/female

I was thinking about something and i would like to pose another question:

Should a friend be placed on the back pedestal, if she/he makes a mistake?
