Finding Friends Makes Sense

Friends support each other in difficult life situations, just as they enjoy happiness and positive things in life together.
The search for friends at Consonance is very simple:
- Click on participation, fill out the questionnaire, and start your friendship search. Subsequently, suitable people for a genuine friendship will be suggested to you (overnight).
Friends and Friendship: Why Are They So Important?
The term friendship refers to an emotionally positive relationship between people characterized by mutual affection and the desire to spend time together. In addition to friends in real life, there are also internet and chat friendships today that transcend distances and national borders. What all types of friendships have in common, however, is that in a friendship, friends actively communicate with each other, appreciate each other, and assign a positive, sympathetic value to the contact with one another.
In psychology, friendships and the friends in question function as so-called reinforcers. As a positive reinforcer, contact with a friend is directly experienced as pleasant and is therefore actively sought. Friends also have the ability to mitigate suffering and unpleasantness in their effects, which in psychology is referred to as a negative reinforcer function. Thus, friendship shows a clear parallel to partnership, where the reinforcer function is also emphasized in psychological terminology. However, unlike partnerships, friendships typically do not involve sexuality. Furthermore, the intensity of the bond and the closeness among friends is generally somewhat lower than in a partnership, although there are exceptions here as well. In fact, different styles of friendship formation can be distinguished. Emotionally, in intense friendships, one could certainly speak of love.
Friends are found, but friends are also lost:
- At the beginning of a friendship, euphoria often sets in, akin to the feeling of being in love. When friendships end, a friend is lost, which can often be a very painful experience, and the pain of separation can reach the level of pain associated with the end of a romantic partnership and divorce.
At Consonance, we structure the matchmaking so that the chances are maximized that your friendship will not end but will last forever.
Friendships at Every Age
Friendships play a role at every age. At Consonance, the 50+ age group is most strongly represented — most members are between 30 and 65 years old. But there are also very young members from 18 and up, as well as those who are older than 80 or even 90. In our evaluations, we see that friendship search and partner search are associated with approximately the same prospects of success in all age groups.
In addition to friendships within similar age groups, we can also find intergenerational friendships, which we actively promote at Consonance. Likewise, within the friendship search at Consonance, there is also the option to search for communities and projects.
Forms of Friendship
Friendships can be distinguished by the intensity of the feelings associated with them and the nature of the activities associated with them:
- At a lower level of positive feelings, one speaks of an acquaintance. The stronger the embedding in very specific activities associated with organizational goals and structures, the more one speaks of comradeship or comrades. In contrast, friendship in the true sense is associated with high positive emotionality and is not exclusively or predominantly tied to predetermined structures and organizations. Friendship in this intense form can last a lifetime. Friends at the highest level of the concept of friendship are thus mutually connected to each other, in good times and in bad.
Society and Friends
In a society strongly oriented toward competition, rivalry, making money, egoism, and consumption, the building and maintenance of true friendships between people is hindered. Acquaintances, business contacts, and customers increasingly take up space. Not a few people have no friends at all in the true sense. Even if they long for them, they find it difficult to find friends. The result is isolation, from which distraction is only possible as long as no serious problems exist. But when people without friends become unemployed, impoverished, or ill, they find it especially difficult to cope without losing their life satisfaction. Depression up to suicidality can be the direct or indirect consequence of a life without friendship.
Friendship, Partnership, and Sexuality
Even though there is a friendly relationship style in the partnership sphere and, conversely, sensual attraction may exist between friends, for many, one main difference between friendship and partnership remains the absence of sexuality between most friends. In fact, this absence is often experienced as particularly positive, as is clearly evident, for example, in the frequent and mutually intimate friendships between gay men and women.
At the same time, there are also friendships plus, where erotic encounters and sensuality flow into the friendship. This creates transitions between partnership and friendship, which you can specifically search for at Consonance.
At Consonance, we help you find those friendships with which you can truly be happy:
