Man-Friend

It's odd being a man-friend.

I went and helped my friend pick up a set of drawers today that she'd bought online - she wasn't sure they'd fit in her car. I don't mind doing that sort of thing - it forces me away from the computer for a change.

I packed tools just in case we had to take the legs off or something.
Apparently that's a typical guy thing.

It's funny how guys have their own special role with female friends.

We're not usually the one that's there to be the shoulder to cry on when things go wrong.
It tends to be the more supportive and practical roles - like helping move furniture, fixing things when they break, and being the moral support person when purchasing items or going anywhere remotely scary.

Although I have to say that I draw the line at holding handbags when they go to the toilet, though.
