Revelation about the concept of "best friends"

[Lux]

I'm thinking about many cases now but my brother prime example. For his best friend's birthday tomorrow, they're going to go to a fancy steakhouse, just the two of them and smoking weed with some other guys after. The more I think about having a best friend the it seems like your essentially platonically dating a guy. They basically do all the activities I do with my gf but call it hanging out instead of a date.
This is kind of parallelled in many cases people start dating their best friends get super jealous & talk shit
Friend groups of 3 never really work out either. There's always a slight skew where one of the guys is usually the least favorite until there's an occasional dynamic switch.
Observationally, I see that people with best friends tend to be less likely to have a long term partner or if they do they essentially treat them like a side piece. Maybe by design humans only have a place for one heartfelt connection or person who they go to first.

Kinship between men was always founded under the aegis of community or tribe. Maybe why relationships nowadays (between both sexes) may feel superficial and sterile.

that's why life is a game, the last male surviving wins and becomes god of whatever they desire.
