How about the real friendship between 2 women?

I disagree magica. 2 women can be real friends. I can attest to that, me and my bestfriend has shared this true friendship for 14 years now and we are still counting. We have our different careers, the men of our lives are not the same...her family is very religious, mine is not.. there are actually a lot of differences between our lives but inspite all that, we remain the best of friends. Believe it or not, there was only 1 time where I remember us having conflict, it was way back in high school, and it was not because of any guy... it was because we thought new friends had replaced our place in each other's lives, she thought i cared for her less and i thought of the same. It was silly! It lasted for only 3 days and we were able to sort it out. Now that I have my own family, we still go out together, we still talk and nothing has changed except for the friendship that has gone stronger. I believe it's up to the person on how she will take care of the friendship. No exception, men or women.. after all, we are humans and are subject to the same feelings and emotions. :)

My best friend and I have been friends since the 5th grade (we're 28 now) and are just as close now as when we were kids. I can honestly say that I'd lay down my life for her. We've been through everything together and even though we're on opposite sides of the country, we call each other all the time and talk for hours. When we were kids we were seldom apart. I trust her with anything. Of course, this is my best friend. Other friends and acquaintances don't share the same level of trust because they haven't earned it. And indeed, some women I thought were friends did stab me in the back at the first opportunity. But I've seen male friendships work the same way. What it all boils down to is who you view as close to you, who you can really trust when the chips are down, and who will still be there no matter what happens.

i definitely belive 2 women can be true friends. Not all women are jealous and competitive. Besides, it all dpepends on who you want to become friends with. i have a few female friends that i am extremely close with and they are true friendships. Men can be just as two-faced as women.

Maybe,it is really difficult for two women having the real friendship.As me,i think i don't have a real friend,i am a pity that i can not find a girl who can be my real friend.Maybe the reason is there are jelous and envious making trouble.

it's hard for me to be friends with girls. i have lots more guy friends. i don't know what it is!! are girls to competitive? it's sort of sad in a sense!

Why only men can be real friends? i am a girl. I think I have real friends =]

I think it's true that woman will always be more suspicious toward each other than men, but I don't think that means that they can't be very good friends.

I have no idea where you got that garbage from that women can not be good friends, who ever they were idiots. I have had good women friends from childhood and still do, and I wouldn't change them for any amount of money I also have had a few great men friends too. good friends are good friends, one gender is not better at being a friend than another.

I've never heard that view before and where I come from in England we always see woman as making good friends and see men as just having mates to go to the pub etc with. Maybe it depends on your culture how people are with each other rather than it being a man woman thing.

i have been best friends with three from my school days and we are all 24 now and we have been there for eacother through all the stages of our lives. women can be friends and best of frinds as well! one our friends got married recently and is living abroad, we still keep in touch over the mail we miss her but we re still close so there is no reason why women cant be friends maybe it depends on the kind of person, the duration of friendship etc etc but we defintely can be friends :)

Well..i think you wrong magica...i have real friends..not just friends,but for me they'are like my sisters..i can rely on them..i can express my feeling to them,tell them my secret,even they're beside me when i need them..i think women and men can have real friendship as long as their friendship is pure and real.

Women can and are real friends. I have three I know for sure are real and a few more I want to believe are also. Of course we seem to run across the phony friends more than the men or maybe it just bothers us more?

it is difficult to the scenerio, i prefer stieck to one, stick to the more you love and comfortable with..

I do believe that there are true friendship between womans depend on their characters . But normally guys are more forgiving so maintaining friendship is much more easier . As friendship is really hard to maintain , you need a whole lifetime to main friendship but you just need a few seconds to destory friendship

Where have you ever heard that? I know I have never heard such a thing. I have VERY close female friendships. I've been by their side when they got married (even crawling under dresses to tie bustles, and holding up their dresses to they could use the bathroom) I've been there for the birth of thei children, sometimes waiting outside the hospital room and being one of the 2nd or third people to see their brand new babies... I've been there during break ups, engagements, graduations, job changes - you name it. My girl friends are my best friends and I would trust them with my life!

I think,based on the comments which my GF's give on other GF's, Magica,what your are saying may be correct. Becoz either one my GF will talk ill of the other in other's absence to me.This perhaps, i even witness even in many cases. To give point specific examples, relating that i have seen may go against the mylot rules. But, i also believe that there are many exceptions to this.

I think women came be good friends. I have a really good net friend and a close cousin whom I can talk with about anything.

I totally disagree that women cant be friends. Sure sometimes women can be catty with each other. But us guys arent always the nicest with our friends either. The true friends are the ones who can forgive each other and still care about each other after a tiff or what not. And ive definatly seen plenty of examples of this from the women ive known over my life.
