why are people friends with faye
Mallli_kite:
Faye is honest. She stands up to defend her friends (witness the whole Vespa Avenger thing, her run in with Sven after he gets Marten involved in his nonsense). She's smart, she's funny, and when you want to have a full on snark fest, she's the best. She will play along, and when she's wrong -- usually -- she apologizes. Those are pretty big qualities.
It's reasonably apparent in the archives. Yes, Faye is the 'Troubled Friend', but, damn, if you can only see her physical assets, you aren't looking. If A is friends with B only because of great tits, etc,. then A is capable of greater assitude than Sven ever imagined.
As for the 'she's written to have friends' thing -- true, but shallow. If the friendships in the writing didn't make sense, few folks would be reading this, much less discussing it in a forum. The writing has to have a consistent interior logic or it would just be so much garbage with pretty color illustrations. It wouldn't even engender the question of "Why are people friends with Faye"?

the only two of those that are obviously apparent are the defending her friends thing and the snarkfest, but okay
it doesn't seem to me that faye has any sense of humour beyond tearing down other people, and she doesn't seem that intelligent outside that speciific area either

I guess I should own up to that too...lost some friends over the years because of it, but oh well...
I imagine if Faye were real she would change over time anyway, everybody does.

You've missed a fair number of cultural and historical references made in the comic attributed to Faye, then. And it takes brains to snark quickly. Dumb people rarely use sarcasm well. It takes intelligence to find double meanings in what others say and do it quickly.
Of course, in reality what we attribute to Faye as intelligence is really the intelligence and knowledge of Jeph Jacques.
