I'm asking from a philosophical point of view. In your own words, how do you define a friend?
I will not respond to this thread. I'm just interested in different viewpoints.

..I actually think this definition is nice and short and accurate:
"a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard."
Nice. I wonder though, if this were between two people of the opposite gender, would this turn into romantic feelings?

That's an F friend. I prefer T friends. Someone who calls me on my shit. Who values the truth above the friendship. That's priceless, and rare.
Sure, I'm just placing the emphasis on what's important to me, which wasn't covered by your def. I have mostly F friends, but I get sick of all the niceness.You think a T can't have personal regard for someone and still call them out of their shit? Same with affection? (Though if there is affection involved there will be a possibly higher chance of them being less hard on each other)
Sometimes you just wanna hear it unvarnished, raw and real.
Yes. I trust an individual that will give me blunt truth far more than flowery discourse.
Friends to me are select people I've gotten to know over a long period time. We share common interests, experiences, and an emotional connection. They never heckle me if I disappear (communication wise) for a month or more, and I them.
