One aspect of
@IonaItalia's comment that I really agree with, which I've been thinking about a lot (and am slowly developing an article about), is that the evolutionary importance of friendship in general (for both males and females) has been under-emphasized in many evo models.2 replies 2 retweets 37 likes -

Women have more "best friendships", but these friendships are more prone to "catastrophic breakdowns" https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/943772518523002881 … also: Gossiphttps://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/984056250416721921 …

You have a habit of making sweeping generalizations about human behavior on the basis of limited data from a small number of societies.

Mainly, I have the habit of conscientiously reporting noteworthy peer reviewed research findings (and THEIR generalizations), allowing for readers to make up their opinion and start a discussion, kind of post peer review.

Those claims by Dunbar are based on very weak and limited data, you see that right? Did you check the references? You're going to tell me an internet survey done in the UK taken by 200 people can tell you about patterns of friendship across cultures?

Don't know about friendship breakdowns but I think there's pretty good evidence overall that women tend to prefer closer dyadic friendships while men tend to prefer gangs or larger networks.https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0118329 …

The findings about women's friendships being more intimate, but also more fragile and susceptible to catastrophic failure, look convincing: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/275761754_Sex_differences_in_relationship_conflict_and_reconciliation …pic.twitter.com/ytEn97R9ao

It's logical that more intimate friendships would be more sensitive to any violation of friendship norms such as trust.

I think this is equally true for both sexes though, difference is that women have more of these intimate dyadic friendships. Men are still more likely to kill their former friends though.
