Camaraderie of loss

Opposite of 'friends with benefits '. When one of the dudes involved in a friendship often incurs a loss owing to the nature of friendship. You can't say no, for instance, or want to go an extra mile to be helpful to the friend yo don't want to lose.
Azra: So you two were like friends with benefits?

cameraderie 

The phenomenon by which a group of people who hardly know each other will instantaneously smile, hug, and act like the best of friends whenever a camera is pointed in their direction. The effect is exacerbated with the addition of alcohol.
"Meh, I don't like that picture... it reeks of cameraderie."

Comraderie

Usually but not always referring to the bond that forms between two males. Similar in principle to the relationship between to brothers in that the two men in question can always rely on each other even when times are tough. Sometimes clingy girlfriends get offended at the concept of "male comraderie".
Guy: Baby I just miss that sense of comraderie that I had with my friends.

Girl: But don't you feel it with me honey?

Guy: You're my girlfriend, it's not the same thing.

camaraderie of lugheads 

A special bond that develops between the dull and dumb members of a group. Internet Chat Rooms, work environments, and classrooms often have their own camaraderie of lugheads.
