Yes, for real. Who wouldn't want a friend that can catch you before you trip on your own feet in front of the crowd? Real friends and family do this because they love you; when people don't care, that's when they let anything go.
You would be surprised and what someone would and would not want from a friend...even if it is with good intentions..
Example...
I had a best friend who was dating this boob, he had a live-in girl friend, a wife in another state, as well as a baby's mother in another state...
I never liked him from the moment we both met him (we met him at the same time in a nightclub)...Anyways, my bestie was in love with this dork...And she knew his circumstances, and acted as if she was bothered by it, but clearly she was not TOO bothered by it.
His live-in girlfriend had slashed my tires, thinking I was my friend because she saw him and I talking at the bar...But little did this dumb broad know that I was telling him to leave my friend alone...
Despite my tires being slashed, and me coming out of pocket to pay for my tires, my good friend stayed with the predator.
I told her over and over and OVER how much of a douchebag he was and that it would be best if she left him in 6ft ditch...and we could dig it together, like best friends.
But she left with the maggot, moved out of state and I didn't hear from her for a couple of years. Finally, she called and told me that when they had moved out of state he had changed...He beat her, cheated on her in her house, and was all the things I told her he was.
Well.....I guess one day she had enough, so she came home from work, woke him up, maced him, and beat with a bat and she ended up in jail.
SO....not every woman, girl, female, wants another ones help.
This wasn't the first friend that I had gone through this as well....
