Sydney, although briefly not invited to Pete and Zooey's wedding, arrives ready to be their best man. Although the film ends up having Pete find a witness through a male friend, causing him to fall into society's notions of what should happen, it doesn't take away from the larger meaning of the film. Everyone believes that Pete is a monster because he has no other male friends, but in reality he is just a very caring and understanding man who has focused his attention elsewhere. There's nothing wrong with the fact that she spent her past working on relationships with her female friends instead of her male friends, and that didn't mean she wasn't capable of making male friends just because she hadn't done so in past. “I Love You, Man” takes on the task of showing how marriage and sexual roles can affect males, as well as females, due to stereotypes of how both sexes should act based on preconceived notions established by society. The film adequately shows how wrong and unfair these stereotypes can be through Pete's journey to find a witness, allowing the audience to see sexual roles in a different way.
