44: Summertime friendships
06/03/22 • 23 min
From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya riff about summertime and friendships.
The Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer and Friendships. We can all get outside more, it's warm, it's daylight into the evening and, whether we meet for a meal or a walk in our favorite neighborhood or nearby pond, lake or ocean, it can be a time to connect and visit with a friend or two.
In which we discuss, once again, our favorite number--the Dunbar number.

What on earth is summer friendship syndrome?

Thank you for listening.
After much reflection, we have made the difficult decision to shut down Project BFF and the podcast. Our last podcast episode aired on August 23, 2024. We are leaving the podcast live on Buzzsprout through the end of 2024.
We are proud of this podcast and honored to have hosted such amazing and engaging guests.
Our hope is that Project BFF and Friendshipable have inspired you to form new friendships, strengthen existing ones, and encourage others to do the same
Thank you for being a part of our story. The two of us have truly deepened our friendship during this time, and we look forward to new and memorable adventures together in and around New England, which serves as the adopted home for both of us.
With gratitude and friendship,
Manya and Terri

43: Cross-sex friendships
From Project BFF, Terri + Manya riff about cross-sex friendships (i.e., friendships between men and women).
This week we learned, and then talked about, men and women being friends with each other. We also learned that cross-sex friendship is referred to as heterosociality.
It turns out, that while many of us do have friends of the opposite sex, many people prefer to have same-sex friends and some have a significant subgroup of cross-sex friends. And both men and women who tend to value tradition and conformity have lower heterosociality.
(Note: In this episode we just discussed friendships between men and women. We will explore friendships across other types of gender identities in an upcoming episode.)

45: Friendship breakups with Aimée La Fountain
From Project BFF HQ, Terri + Manya riff about friendship breakups with writer Aimée La Fountain.
Based on her experiences breaking up with some long-term friends, Aimée shares her thoughts about how devastating the end of a friendship can be, and how the lack of established norms for going about it can make it difficult to end relationships without regrets. We had a fabulous conversation and can't wait to have her back on the podcast!
