Friendship
Friendship for Utility - Aristotle said that some people have friendships based on utility which means that they do not actually love each other but love the good that they do for each other.

Friendship for Pleasantness - Aristotle said that some friendships are solely based on the love and enjoyment of one another.

Another example from Seinfeld is George Costanza and Jerry. Their friendship seems to be just for their enjoyment. Neither party seems to really get anything out of it. Occasionally they will do things for each other but the friendship definitely is not based on that.
Perfect Friendship - Aristotle said that the perfect friendship is one that is for pleasantness and utility.
