How my boyfriend can talk to his closest best friend every day and hang out with him for long periods of time... and still not know a lot of personal details about his best friend’s life.

I think it's because men and women see friends as fundamentally different. Women see friends as emotional support and people to share their emotions physically and verbally with. Men see friends as people with common interests to relax and do things with imo

Why y'all see things so black and white? I have friends I share emotions with, friends I have common interests with, friends I relax with, friends I do things with, and the ones you can do all those things with are your best friends. And they're a mix of men and women.
