You can easily lose an acquaintance that way.
Friends are made of srener stuff.

Also cf   "Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an
enemy are deceitful."
(Proverbs 27:6).
ie having a friend beat you up at least metaphorically or verbally,
and or willing to do so when required, is a valuable resource, and not
overly easily come by.
