Ok guys, lets say you have a female best friend /f* buddy, if she were going through something terribly hard(use any scenario you want but for example: placing a child in a facility/diff home), along with other issues such as a brother in the hospital would you just text her to let her know you're there and you care........or would you drive the hour to be by her side when it was over or what would you do??

women i know some of you are reading this cause it's a curiosity thing.........how would you feel about this, or what would you expect?

If I loved someone I would go to where they are. I would never text someone in emotional pain.

Plus I can't figure out how to text people. By the time I texted a message....I could probably drive theresigh

You used the term, "best friend". It's a no brainer.

I read the thread even though you asked for men's opinions you did state you would like females to post also.

Here's my take: Is this person strictly an F' buddy? Do you have genuine feelings or sympathy for what she happens to be going through? Would you believe she would do the same for you if the situation were reversed?
If you are truly friends or as you put it best friends, then without a moments hesitation I'd be on my way to be by her side. Everyone goes through hard times and needs someone to be there for them, and someday you may find yourself in the same predicament and she will have an opportunity to repay the kindness.

Hope that helps.

I agree, if you are best friends and she was emotionally stricken..I would be there. If the best friend was a guy..might be different as guys arn't as stricken by these issues in general.

Had a friend who was once feeling in a bad way. I called over to her with a few beers and stayed with her all night to make sure that she was ok. She was fine the next day because of me.

Alright, I was in similar situation. a friend, like you speak of, needed an operation. She had someone to take her to the hospital and back. I felt she needed moral support. I drove seperatley. Spent the the whole day in the hospital, the waiting room. I could tell, she was very glad I came along. I recieved the most sincere thank you I've got out of anyone.

I agree. If they are indeed the best of your friends they would be there in a heartbeat. If not then you need to rethink the lable ... and the f* buddy thing too.comfort

Drive the hour to be beside her. even friends do that. and if she is your best friend, you should already be there,
My 2 cents

It's easy to be distracted by the, uh, "buddy" thing, but a best friend, as Leo so aptly put, it is indeed a no-brainer. tip hat

I'm going to say if he was texting you all day, I would give him that. If he called, nice.
I have to think back on my dad. He hates hospitals. Won't go and visit anyone in a hospital. My sister was in a very bad car accident and he did go a couple of times. On one of his visits she even told him to leave because he was so sad.

We understood why he felt this way. When he was a small boy he was in a hospital for over three months. We understood. Some guys can't handle things like that. So, maybe give him the benefit, if he was at least keeping in touch. Tell him you would like to meet him later to get a hug and be held.

F**K Buddies are hard to come by, I would drive the hour or two or three to get there to help any way I could.

I have had a few F* Buddies and well, they have all had some kind of probems. I did like them so I did help them out when they asked me, Hell, I let one stay with me for a while. I did that because they were friends, but I do have to say, they did repay me, in very good and unexpected ways!!!...head banger head banger head banger

This is where the confusion comes in for me....A friend does things without expectation...A F*ck buddy does not...The two are contradictory to me and I can see how this kind of a relationship can get so distorted and mixed up....That's where the fine line is...
