    Loyalty. Tell me when I'm wrong. Accept that I am not perfect but I'm worthy. Give me money when I need it LOL.

    all of the above and having someone to make you laugh when things are crap.

    i've recently realized how many people i have that i could call at 3 am who would help me, no questions asked. if i needed to cry, if i had car trouble, whatever. and dang it that makes me feel so lucky.

    No strings attached sex.

    Unless bondage is to be involved.

    That and honesty. I can put up with a lot of crap (well, what I consider crap) from my friends, but lying to me is an automatic three strikes.

    Big props for the new punctuation use. Also for the Shawshank reference.

    Hmmmm...."What makes a good friend?" she asks.

    "If you want a good friend, BE a good friend."

    Sorry...I can't remember who I'm quoting.:smile:

    Some one who see's the good in you.
    Some one who is positive, encouraging, and loyal.
    Some one you know you can call when you need a favor, because you would do the same for them.

    "a friend in need is a friend indeed". People forget this all the time. I think someone who can be there for you through your good times as well as your bad is a good friend.

    I got this....

    FAKE VS. REAL

    FAKE FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
    REAL FRIENDS: Are the reason you have no food.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr./Mrs.
    REAL FRIENDS: Call your parents DAD/MOM.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Bail you out of jail and tell you what you did was wrong.
    REAL FRIENDS: Will sit next to you saying “Damn … we really messed up … but that sure was fun!”

    FAKE FRIENDS: Never seen you cry.
    REAL FRIENDS: Cry with you.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Borrow your stuff for a few days then give it back.
    REAL FRIENDS: Keep your stuff so long they forget it’s yours.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
    REAL FRIENDS: Can write a book about you, with direct quotes from you.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that is what the crowd is doing.
    REAL FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds *kitten* that left you.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Will knock on your front door.
    REAL FRIENDS: Walk right in and say “I’M HOME!”

    FAKE FRIENDS: Are for awhile.
    REAL FRIENDS: Are for life.

    FAKE FRIENDS: Say they are too busy to listen to your problems, but when it comes to them they expect you to have all the time in the world.
    REAL FRIENDS: Not only kick everything out of their schedule to listen to what’s wrong, but help come up with vindictive plans to make you feel a whole lot better!

    FAKE FRIENDS: Make you say sorry when you want to talk to them at odd hours of the night, or even just hang out at odd hours.
    REAL FRIENDS: Come right over and hang out with you, until you either fall asleep, or kick them out.

    I was afraid she'd ask me that....lol.

    OK. I believe the original author was trying to say that it doesn't matter what someone else does. If WE are truely a friend we treat them with love and respect with no expectation of ANYTHING in return. The other person doesn't get to decide for us what a friend is. Since we can only control our own treatment of others, their behavior is not what qualifies them as a friend. They are our friend if WE decide they are. :smile:
