so assume limited time in your life, what exactly do you do with these dearly loved women that don’t make relationship material? do you share hobbies?

Yes, that's what I do with most of my friends?

then it doesn’t really matter what gender imo

so yea what hobbies are these exactly that you’ve made multiple life long friendships over?

how much time do you spend with them weekly? how does your significant other feel about this, this can be a problem with even straight guy friends

I’m really curious about specifics because it’s never as simple as your posts play it out to be

I mean... yes. That's kind of the point of friendship, I suppose?

so yea what hobbies are these exactly that you’ve made multiple life long friendships over?

Philosophy, art, games, history, politics.

how much time do you spend with them weekly?

Used to be every weekend, and often several weekdays too. Unfortunately, the past two years my living situation has been in flux, and I haven't been near enough to my friends to have that regular time with them.

how does your significant other feel about this, this can be a problem with even straight guy friends

Single atm, but I've never had a problem because I've never dated anyone who wanted me to prune my socialization for her.

not to be mean but that reads like ‘fellow voyagers’, it’s a lot of work to keep close when apart like that

I had a few female friends like that in college, it ended poorly but they were solid friends, it gets harder when people start having kids and such especially across different states (people say this, it was this way for me, ymmv)
