Friends the Friendships that weren't misconstrued (Joey and Chandler's Bromance Part 1)

Friends - Chandler and Joey

(1994-2004)

Within in Friends you witness the love, laughter, compassion of six friends. Maybe because it was a
different time men were able to be as close and intimate with their best friends as women are. Or maybe it is because the characters are constantly in relationships and even though the men have feminine sides/traits their still very much a mans man. 
Joey and Chandler became friends by chance when they started living together, Joey came into the group as Chandler's room mate. The two soon realized that they enjoyed hanging out so Chandler evidently introduced him to his friends. Ross his friend from College, Monica his younger sister, Phoebe was Monica's roommate but moved into her Grandmother's apartment. Rachel who's been Monica's best friend for years. The friendships between  all of the group seems platonic however when you look at the interactions between individual couples they seem somewhat more than innocent. They are the primary couple to make you sometimes question friendships. What starts off as an innocent friendship can sometimes be misconstrued as something more. The two spend a vast amount of time together they live together, eating, watching TV, hanging out with the same friends. They appear to be polar
opposites as Joey works as an actor who is forever going to auditions but never getting a call back whilst Chandler is a Statistical Analysis and Data Reconfiguration where he makes substantial more money than Joey. However they seem to be one another's soul mates even after Monica and Chandler finally admit to their friends that they are a couple and that they are very much in love. 
Through the ten years and the couple of apartments the two shared (when they briefly swapped apartments with Monica and Rachel due to a bet.) as well as the two living apart when Joey finally got a well paying gig (it obviously didn't last long as they missed one another's companionship) and then with Chandler moving out to live with Monica the two always remained as close as ever. They've been there through numerous of relationship breakdowns, different/unique fashion disasters as well as hair mishaps (the main one being Joey trying to get his eyebrows waxed but not being able to withstand the pain and only being able to get one done thankfully Chandler saves the day and plucks the other eyebrow for him) weddings majority of them being Ross', then Chandler's to Monica before Phoebe and Mike finally united.
