It's pretty simple.

Personally, I prefer having homoual friends. Beause 1.) they are more good accompanies to keep 2.) they were open about conversations about which I found quite amusing and I can learn about it at the same time, which I could really use in the future 3.) they are the representation that love still exists even you have the same gender; and 4.) I would be lying if I say I didn't enjoy teasing them. That's the best part of it, you got comedian friends out of homoual basis. But hey, that's how we express our love for each other.
