If you don't have deep convos with them (male or females)...then they are not your friends.
They are just a bunch of hang out buddies.
That hurts. According to your definition, I HAVE NO FRIENDS! lol
Seriously though, if you must have deep convo's with someone to call them your friend, well, I dunno about that.
People I know fit into one of three levels.
Level 1- Close friends. These are the people who I can really share things with. Only have a few of these.
Level 2- Friends. People who I see regularly who I enjoy being around. Most of the time we aren't sharing intimate details of each other lives, but these are people who have proven themselves worthy of my time and trust.
Level 3- Acquaintances. I have LOTS of these. Most people do. These are people who I see on occasion, are friendly with, but at the same time I don't make any special attempt to pursue a stronger social bond.
Where does "hang out buddy" fit into this?
I would bet that you have two different scales for men and women when it comes to friendship.
