This question is explored in three dimensions that are kin vs. non-kin, sex of the friend and attributes or qualities of friendship. There are several studies regarding interpersonal relations and more specifically about friendship as well. This study is about different dimensions of friendship which have not been explored previously.A survey method is used to collect data from four different universities using a self –developed questionnaire, it is named as Friendship Questionnaire (FQ) which measures preference for sex of a friend, kin vs. non kin, attributes of friend and gender prefers to form lifelong friendship bond. This study comprises sample of 367 participants, 173 male and 195 female. The age range of the participants ranged from 18 to 25. The findings of the study are that most of the men want to be friends with men whereas most of the women want to be friends with men. Male lead a clear preference for the same sex friendship. Only less than half preferred opposite sex person as friend. Nearly half the respondents showed clear preference for non kin friends over kin friends. This shows that most of people want to be friends with non-kin persons rather than their kin. As far as forming a lifelong relation is concerned this research showed that females prefer forming a lifelong relationship, than males .The hypothesis that female prefer and lasting relation rather than temporary relation and wanted men to be their friends, contrary to men’s preference.en_US
