Top: Society: Relationships: Friendship
| This is an informational category and all friendship sites should have a SIGNIFICANT section that is non-commercial. Submit greeting card sites to the appropriate category elsewhere. Dating sites and personal-ad sites, unless they are specifically limited to NON-SEXUAL, non-dating-oriented relationships, should be submitted to the appropriate category elsewhere. |
Sites in this category are about non-sexual friends and friendship. Included are sites that explain how to make and keep friends, poetry and literature specific to non-sexual friendship, and sites pertaining to the historical, anthropological, psychological or political aspects of non-sexual friendship.
|
Please submit sites that offer advice predominantly about marriage, dating, or romantic relationships to Society: Relationships: Advice or to Society: Relationships: Dating: Advice. |
This category contains sites that offer advice or support regarding nonsexual friendships.
| Sites that give advice about friendship but contain no specific cultural or historical research should be submitted to Society : Relationships : Friendship : Advice. Sites that contain poetry or literature about friendship should be submitted to Society : Relationships : Friendship : Poetry, Quotations and Literature. |
Sites in this category relate to the historical, anthropological, psychological, political or cross-cultural study of non-sexual personal friendships.Sites in this category will overlap somewhat with sites in the Society : Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual : History category. The reason for this is that historical same-sex friendships were very intense compared with the modern American variety, and hence are often confused with gay sexual relationships. Owing to the lack of clear evidence about the types of relationships people had in the past, the question of "friendship or romance" is an unresolved debate among those who study these relationships.
|
Please submit personal homepages or writings about particular friends to the appropriate category under Society: People: Personal Homepages, unless they contain more general material about friendship. |
This category contains poetry, quotations, stories, and aphorisms that specifically relate to nonsexual friendship.
|
Appropriate submissions for this category would include personal ad services that are specifically non-sexual in their focus, support groups focusing on non-sexual friendship, and so on. Sites that primarily offer advice should be submitted to Society: Relationships: Friendship: Advice. Services that primarily relate to dating, romantic relationships, or marriage should be submitted to the appropriate category elsewhere. NO personal ad sites that REQUIRE the user to search by gender or sexual orientation will be listed in this category, although sites that provide this as an option may be listed if they seem to relate primarily to nonsexual friendship. |
Sites in this category offer non-commercial or commercial services that relate to non-sexual friendship and are not listed elsewhere.
