Why does 男朋友 look like this?
男 (Man: Rice field 田 + Strength 力, representing a man working in the fields) + 朋 (Friend: Two pieces of meat/flesh 月 placed together, symbolizing companionship) + 友 (Friend: Two hands 又 reaching out to help each other). Together, they form a 'male friend' in a romantic context!
