Four is the Magic Number

So I was watching Love Monkey (cute show but somebody owes Nick Hornby some money) and once again it another show where four individuals discuss love and relationships from a variety of angles and social situations.

But why is it always four?

Has society decided that for a unisex social circle to cover every angle, it needs to be a square?

Oh and one opposite sex friend that I will never sleep with (again?)

Everyone thinks Sex & The City started this trend but the real culprit is The Golden Girls.

Maybe that's what's missing from my life.

Three consistent male friends who like to have lunch with me and go out drinking at night.

And one female friend to contradict everything the three guys say.

According to my personal savior, The Great Television, that is what is keeping me from discovering to true meaning of life.

I'm accepting applications.

Well then, you should find another website to pass through on your way to your own.

Or get a shorter URL.

Your theory is true, but there's always the "I have two buddies and three female friends I spend all my time with" exception. The exception allows you to only have two male friends if the three of you are part of a sextet, but of course then the three of you are obligated to date around within in thecircle, except if you're the one guy who gets left out.

I love the Golden Girls. I can be your contrary platonic female friend.
