This is our first bromance and as we expected it’s a bit different judging the chemistry between two male friends than it is between two lovers of any gender.  Part of us figures that simply being guys is all it takes for them to be friends - we always assume that guys don’t have the same criteria for friendship that girls do.  There’s none of the drama, none of the petty jealousies that often occur between women friends or couples.

We do know however that many friends can drift apart once marriage and family intervene.  This could be particularly true for someone like Peter who is not good at friendships to begin with.  And Peter and Sydney are as different as two people can be so their relationship is not without its obstacles.

Nevertheless we do feel that Peter and Sydney will be friends for life.  Yes they are different, but they both possess one characteristic in common that we think will take them all the way – loyalty.  They are both extremely loyal friends.  Both are also very generous and willing to go out of their way for the other.  Sydney in particular goes the extra mile for his friend in some very touching and unusual ways.  Both are very honest, although it takes Peter some time to open up and really express himself.  But he’s not a liar and neither is Sydney.  He’s also willing to let Sydney bring him out of his shell, and Sydney, rather than finding Peter a drag on his time, is all too happy to oblige.  Unless Zooey finds some reason to keep them apart we think Peter and Sydney have what it takes to be The Reel Thing.
