Sig Hoovestrong 838 January 20, 2015 Share January 20, 2015 I like to believe the mine six hang out with stallion friends off screen. But in the show, well we haven't seen of any of this yet to be the case. However i think Rainbow Dash and Sorian is devaloping a friendship. Bulking Biceps and Fluttershy got closer to gather during Rainbow Falls episode as they competed to gather as team mates. The Best Night Ever hinting Rarity has some social life with her next door neighbor Caramel and Lucky Clover. That help her and the mine six pulling their carriot the to the gala. Of course this specalactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nature's Spell 526 January 20, 2015 Share January 20, 2015 It was said already, but we rarely see the Mane 6 with anybody besides each other and a select group of (other) friends or family. Add to that fact that the writers have limited time, so we're only seeing snapshots of their lives. We never see the whole story.

Princess Lona 382 January 20, 2015 Share January 20, 2015 (edited) There's Cheerilee and Big Mac for a mare/stallion canon friendship. In Hearts and Hooves Day they were pretty adamant that their relationship was platonic, with Cheerilee even describing them as "good friends". It was clear at the end of the episode when they started calling each other cute pet names again that it was just a joke they were playing on the CMC. Later in Filli Vanilli Cheerilee swooned over Big Mac on stage and we could interperate that as romantic interest on at least the part of Cheerilee (although I personally think that was just a fan nod since everyone started shipping them after H&HD), but for at least one episode that was a solid stallion/mare platonic friendship.

CupcakeEmpire 58 January 20, 2015 Share January 20, 2015 Because of the whole thing about there not being romance in the show (or at least not a lot of it). In nearly every cartoon I've watched in my lifetime, males and females were only allowed to be friends if it was going to eventually develop into a romantic relationship. It has been well-established in fiction that any female friends will eventually fall in love with their male friends, and vice versa, by the end of the series, unless they're related. It's annoying and cliche as hell, but its a trope that appears in a lot of cartoons. It's very rare for me to find a cartoon where males and females are allowed to remain as mere friends without any romantic implications whatsoever.

sweetolebob18 728 January 20, 2015 Share January 20, 2015 Most kid's cartoon shows are aimed at young boys & this is why they have mainly male casts. In the last couple of decades, they've smartened up some & include one or 2 token female characters to draw girls. Still, there have been other successful cartoons w mainly female casts. Sailor Moon & Power Puff Girls among others. So, MLP is unusual but not unique in having few male characters. They don't get into romance because Hasbro doesn't think the target demographic (girls 2-11) would be very interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conred 274 January 21, 2015 Share January 21, 2015 Actually only Applejack is without any male un related friends(well maybe Silver Shill count?). Twilight and Fluttershy obviously have Spike and Discord. Rarity is friends with many mares and Stallions in Canterlot and Manehattan. Rainbow Dash probably is a friend to all pegasi, male included. Pinkie Pie recently had entire episode with her male friend Cheese Sandwich. Don't worry if they would want to ship them then they have plenty to choose from and probably even more incoming in S5.

Moved to Elsewhere 11,331 January 21, 2015 Share January 21, 2015 Well, assuming we are talking about regular friends and not coltfriends, they do have friends that are stallions. Rainbow dash seems to favor Soarin as a friend, Pinkie Pie has cheese sandwich and like every pony in Ponyville. Oh and of coarse there is Spike.

VinylWubs 1,252 January 21, 2015 Share January 21, 2015 well it depends if they need one for their life or better off having none I mean like twilight and flash wouldn't be a good couple and might ruin the fandom pinkie and cheese sandwich well itll have to wait and see what will happen when we see him again Flutters and discord? theyre pretty much fine Rarity and spike? people are disliking the pair so much that people will leave the fandom if they get into a relationship as for the others that I haven't said it might depends on the way they act or something in conclusion sometimes mares don't really need a stallion around them unless they really need it but their friends can help the pony so it depends My OCS: Console: https://mlpforums.com/character/82-console-dream/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legionbrony 107 January 21, 2015 Share January 21, 2015 Personally I'm fine with the large proportion of mares, they are way cuter than the stallions Pleasedon'thurtme 1 “What surprises me most? Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.

Silver Letter 1,832 January 21, 2015 Share January 21, 2015 I don't think it is the focus of the show to add significant depth to male characters. It's why the main characters have no known male friends. Bulk Biceps and Cheese Sandwich are not what I would call friends and there is no evidence that Pinkie is friends with the latter. I think the only friendship we know with a mane six character and a male character would be Fluttershy and Discord. Twilight & Spike Fluttershy & Discord Twilight & Discord Applejack & Big Mac Twilight & Shining Armor CMC & Spike Rarity & Spike Celestia & Discord Fluttershy & Bulk Biceps Rainbow Dash & Soarin Rarity & Fancy Pants CMC & Featherweight Pinkie & Cranky Doodle Donkey Pinkie & Cheese Sandwich Braeburn & Little Strongheart Flitter, Cloudchaser & Thunderlane are often seen hanging out together, if they count Most of those don't count.

Gernia 691 January 21, 2015 Share January 21, 2015 I don't believe anyone's main intention is to give them male friends. I think that if they did it could ruin the female-centric nature of the show. I might just be looking too far into this. Signature by Kyoshi Hymenoptera is the most superior order of insects. | I'm the best Street Fighter player ever... in my hometown. Rosalina's #1 fanboy.

Steel Accord 6,660 January 23, 2015 Share January 23, 2015 Well, between Fancypants, Thunderlane, Big Mac, and others. It's not like they don't have male friends. I think mainly because we don't need to see them doing things together to know that they have an established rapport.
