I have several friends that are like brothers to me. I have very close women friends too. But with one I have made the ultimate commitment. So I have a soul mate best friend. I also have a friend (former fraternity brother) and probably easily my best buddy now, that is a business partner.

Like was said above, be the very best friend that you can be to your friends, be a true friend.

Yes. I have three best girlfriends all from childhood. Each I love dearly. I'll admit I may go to one for one thing maybe over another but that is only in the circumstance that the others are overly protective over certain matters, but we have been friends since we were young girls in one another's weddings and continue to be there for each other no matter the distance we may live apart or the length of time we haven't seen one another. That defines it for me.

Now, if women have two best friends, it is not always a guarantee that those two friends will like each other, right? For us guys, it usually does mean the two best friends have to get along because we like to conduct our shenanigans with as many friends as possible lol

Such a hard question. May have to spend time thinking about it.

I think it's definitely possible. I have several best friends, but they come from different parts of my life. There's my best friend from high school (I still talk to her almost daily), my best friend from college, and then a couple of other people I would consider best friends (my brother and one other person, to be exact).

All of these people come from vastly different parts of my life, but they all fit a piece of me that wouldn't be complete without them. They've all seen me at my worst and my best. There are definitely things I tell some of them that I don't tell the others, but it works that way across the board. I don't favor any of them over the others, and I would never be able to choose between the four of them if I had to.

I have 2 best friends--they are a package deal though, we were the "three musketeers" back when we were kids. We have been friends for almost 40 years.

Apart from my hubby, I don't have anyone right now that I could class as a best friend. But, one of my casual friends has about eight best friends! Don't know how she does it, but it seems to work for all of them. They all class each other as best friends. I think that is more rare than usual, though.

MMMM ... I am shy, sometimes reserved, yet very sociable and friendly. I am fortunate to have many friends. People that know me will say that I am easy to talk to and open up because I have an open mind that will always offer a sincere advise that while it might be very straight forward, possibly uncomfortable, but not painful. I take that as a compliment that I highly value. Best friend is a very special person to who you can open up to and talk about anything regardless of what the situation might be. Best friends are not always a person's companion or significant other. To answer your question, a person can have several very good as well as close friends, but the one person that you can open up to and talk about anything without any fear or reservation, I believe that most likely it will be one person.

I don't really believe in best friends, to start with.

I've never had a best friend, not the kind you see on TV and the movies. I've always had several intimate friends (a select group, never too many). I don't love one more than the other... I love them in a different way, because they are different people. For me, talking about a "best friend" is like trying to grade them or something. I'm not much into labeling people. My friends are my friends, that's all.

Sure, there are people you call friends to economize (it's easier than saying something like "colleague that I'm friendly with" or something to that effect) but are not intimate friends, and then there are your FRIENDS. But, from those, I honestly wouldn't be able to pick one over the other.

Anyway, answering the question: I don't think it's possible to have more than one "best friend" because by definition there can be only one. What I think it's very possible is not to have a best friend, just like me, and have a group of intimate friends instead. And honestly, thinking about it right now, the whole "best friend" thing sounds horrible... what does that make your other friends? Your worse friends?

Well, disregarding that 'best' is an absolute...

(I know, I still miss doing tutorials...)

It's CERTAINLY possible to have different friends one values equally if in different ways... (I have a GBF, Martin, who I can NEVER talk to about women, for example... Although he DOES talk to me about his guys... But he's REALLY not interested in my love life with women!!! His eyes glaze over!!!) But we love each other...

I think we all wear different hats according to the relationship... (I do it even here...)

In many ways and for both parties, friendship is a kind of 'balancing act'... I think if you are BASICALLY honest, and THEY ARE, then you'll do okay... (But, for example, TWO of my best friends HERE are girl-loving-girls... HOWEVER, the conversations we have could not be more different... I value them both, of course...

In my daily life, that of a 'real breathing person' I have several of those that I called the 'bestest' of chums. These are people that laugh and cry with me...not always agreeing on subjects, but we understand the trees. I put great faith in those that sing truths and don't yodel lies. Friends arrive in different gender packages. A true friend would never lie are snatch the good life from you.

Being self employed most of my life, has given me an insight as how the human mind thinks. I think if I had to do it over, I couldn't find a better copse of trees.

I think you can have multiple best friends. They're the ones that are by your side no matter what and won't judge you for who you, but will call you out if you need to be without apology.

Of course! If you're in a relationship then you may class that person your best friend? SO does that mean you can't have other best friends?

My wife is my one absolute best freind who knows me better than I know myself. I also have a very close freind who I used to teach with that I consider my best freind. I can talk to him about my wife and various frustrations, and he to me about his family. I then have several close friends as well.

For me it is about trust, and how much of my true self I can reveal. I trust my wife 98%. I trust my best freind 95%, and my close friends 85% I know I am a strange bird.

If you can only trust your with 98%, then she is not your best friend.
