This debate topic came up after a collective four hurricanes and drunkenly wandering the Internet. Do bros always come before hos? Does this ever change? If it does change, at what point does your ho come before your bro?
More seriously, what kind of hierarchy is there to relationships? In an ideal world, whose emotional needs should come first in your life?
For example, how would you arrange the following people from order of greatest emotional importance to least:
Bartender
Best Friend
Casual Dating Partner
Casual Friend
The Clerk at Your Favorite Store
Committed Boyfriend/Girlfriend
Coworker
Drunken Hookup
Neighbor
Parents
Second Grade Teacher
Siblings
Spouse
Bruce Willis
Your Dog/Cat/Goldfish
(I'm leaving kids out of it, because that's a trump card for parents.)
