"Much like a long-distance romance, it can be difficult to keep the spark alive in a friendship with someone living in a different city. Now scientists say they have uncovered the key to staying close – and it appears to be different for men and women.
Men need to meet up face-to-face and bond over activities, according to the study of students leaving home for the first time, while for female friendships, long phone conversations can bridge the physical distance.
Professor Robin Dunbar, who led the work at the University of Oxford, said: “What determined whether [friendships] survived with girls was whether they made effort to talk more to each other on the phone.”
However, talking had absolutely no effect on boys’ relationships, the study found. “What held up their friendships was doing stuff together,” said Dunbar. “Going to a football match, going to the pub for a drink, playing five-a-side. They had to make the effort. It was a very striking sex difference.'
