What does this mean in a BOYS friend group?

[theresyourgravy]

if there’s that one specific guy in a boy friends group that the other guys are more affectionate or have a soft spot for, what does that say about that guy?

[YourFavoriteFriend]

"more affectionate" as they are nicer to him? This can mean respect or maybe this guy is more "soft" so they take it light one him.

"have a soft spot for" as to, they all talk high for him and always look up to meet him, spend time with? This can mean that he's a great friend and everyone is having fun with him.

"More affectionate?" Are you talking about feelings that go beyond friendship?

He’s probably the friend that holds the glue of the group together

He's nice guy that all of them genuinely like. He's not competing with them, not trying to steal their girls, etc. Sounds like they can be genuine with him.

[Tenebrae_mentis]

That the group views him as a good guy. He's probably got a charismatic personality.

[Jamie05rhs]

That probably means he's a good person and a loyal person, and his friends know that, so they reciprocate.

He’s nicer? I don't know

[QuietRunner]

he may be the group leader
