Its good to have female friends for social proof and meeting other women, but as "close friends" they make a lousy friends.
If you are an AFC, you will love to have girl-friends because they are just like you. Complain how the world is unfair, while not doing a thing about it. They will ask you for a lot of favours and the more you do the more they will ask.
Ask yourself what am I good for them? Because you are there for them when they need to b1tch about life. Most women like to sit down, gossip and go different places and you cannot have a conversation or a relationship like you do with guys. With women you usually have to clean up your act and not be yourself like your dirty buddies know you.
An Alpha male likes to do stuff, guy stuff. He is too buzy to chit chat with ladys about the latest Paris Hilton incident.
ALPHA MALE WORKS HARD AND THEN PLAYS HARD - therefore he is too occupied with working hard to make money and imporving his life. Playing hard refers to doing action sports with other men/ or fvcking a chick.
Therefore its better to find yourself male friends then female friends. Good close male friends, are those friends you can count on when things go bad. Women on the other hand are more selfish creatures. If they get involved with another man, all of the sudden your friendship will mostlikly disappear with it.
