Grants Whiskey has found ten reasons why men favour their close male friendships over their bond with their partner. We take a look at these rules and prove that your lady friend can be just as cool as your man friend.

Relationships on Female First

Relationships on Female First

'Blokes are totally honest, regardless of feelings'- If you're with the right woman- she won't lie about her feelings, she will feel comfortable telling you exactly what she thinks. If she's not honest in the relationship and neither are you- it's going to run its course.

'Men are always there for you, even at 3am in the morning'- Hello- mid morning sex? If that's not being there for you, I don't know what is!

'Male mates have the ability to make you laugh even when you feel terrible'- So does your partner- great couples are the ones who are able to bring each other out a slump. If she's not and you have no interest in lifting her spirits when she's down- you're not meant to be.

'Men don't judge you, whatever your behaviour'- If you come in rolling drunk and start throwing up- guess who's there to give you a glass of water and rub your back? It's not your mate is it?

'Men will stick up for you whenever you need it, even if you're in the wrong'- Your lady loves you unconditionally and will stand by you even if you make a mistake- after all she makes them too. You should grant her the same respect in return.

'Men know what to say to you when you're feeling really down'- Your woman is more sensitive to your feelings than your guy mates because she spends more time with you. She can often predict when you're going to feel down because she knows the patterns of events after being with you for so long.

'Men enjoy trivial meaningless conversations about absolutely nothing'- Once you get the boring, serious stuff out the way like money and work; your conversations with your loved one are all trivial, meaningless chatter, even more so when you get drunk together. Playful banter is what keeps you feeling young and alive.

'Men are always on your side, even if you're behaving badly- As long as 'behaving badly' doesn't constitute cheating- your SO has just as much of a mischievous streak as you do- that is- after all- what attracted you to each other in the first place.

'Men always see the best in you, when perhaps no-one else can'- Your partner loves you because they see all the hard work, worry and effort that goes on behind the scenes. They see you as the best because they always have- that's why they chose you.

'Guy mates share all your hobbies and interests'- You can't possibly fake how much you love to watch TV with your lady friend, go to the cinema, out for meals, on holiday, for weekends away- the list of stuff you enjoy doing together far exceeds that which you do with your mates.
