Which friend would you rather have?
Favorited (undo) 32 Comments

Would you rather have a friend who you can always have a good conversation or a friend who you can always share a comfortable silence with (not an ounce of awkward moment)?

I would choose a person to share a comfortable silence with because there are very few people in this world whom I can do that with. What about you?

A friend i can have a good conversation with. In a mood for silence, i prefer solitude, and having the freedom to be deep in thought without other people close.
So having someone for a GOOD conversation is more valuable to me.

Are they male or female in relation to me being a male myself? That would affect my decision I think.

That is a good consideration. If it's alright with you, please elaborate on your choice.

*I feel like this may need a disclaimer... I in no way mean this in an offensive or sexist manner if it at all seems that way.

I think that for me personally if they were female, then I would rather be able to share a comfortable silence with them; especially if we were dating (that also brings up another question though). I am not the best at talking in general and often remain silent for extended period of times just thinking (that is not always the case though). I also really enjoy cuddling.

If they were male, then I would rather be able to have a good conversation with them I think.

I share silence comfortably with anyone personally, but there are only about 2, maybe three people in the world I can have a totally comfortable conversation with, even if I'm in the most sociable of moods. So I'd rather have a friend I could always have a good conversation with.

In practice, I think if you are good friends with someone for long enough you'll be able to do both eventually.

I agree. I haven't met anyone who I can do both but maybe in the near future.

I would rather have a friend whom I can have a good conversation with. I'm usually a pretty quite person, and I feel less awkward in silence then talking to someone. But there are those very few people whom I can have a conversation with. So I'd choose someone whom I can talk to and be comfortable.

Hi new friend :D

How about both? Why not have a friendship that's a versatile one?

I agree having both would be great. But if you had to pick only one, which one would you choose?

That's a hard one... Having a good conversation is good at first, but then afterwards there's almost always the dreaded pause.... If you have good pauses with that person then that's good, but what if you never have good conversations with that person at all?

Still, I'm not really a chatty one. So, I think I will go with the comfortable silences. Silence is Golden:)

I'd pick one I can have a good conversation with, especially if we have a lot in common. If I want to be in comfortable silence I'll just be alone.

Good conversation all the way. I'm such a shy person that anytime there is a silence i feel very awkward..Like i'm not interesting to them or we have nothing in common. Of course with very good friends i could have a comfortable silence but i would still prefer to talk to them instead. I enjoy silence a lot more when i'm alone because i can really get lost in my thoughts.

I'd like a friend with a certain moral flexibility when it comes to sexual encounters between friends.

Is there a story behind this?

I would like a female friend that won't try to get with my husband.
If I trusted him just a teensy bit less, he'd be dead.

In fact, this happened with every man I dated as well, my one female friend is interested in him and tries to get with him.

And then my female friend count goes from 1 to 0.
Goes to show you that some women don't like men, they like a challenge.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully things will get better with your female friends.
