Re: Women don't have ANY friends. True or false?
On the surface it sure seems like the OP is wrong. I see people around me, particularly at work, who appear to be good friends. In fact it seems like the entire department is one big happy family sometimes who all go out together on the weekends. That's just my perception of things, I could be wrong.

I guess my personality isn't conducive towards friends. I'm not the type to want to sit and talk about nothing for hours, nor do I have an interest in dating/conquest stories, drinking, and casual sex. Ultimately you have to be interested in people or at least fake interest, and to me faking interest is not genuine. But I guess people must do that in real life.

People are going to drift apart when they start to have a family. I don't see the issue here. There's no law that says a person has to have a large circle of lifelong friends. People go their separate ways.

Re: Women don't have ANY friends. True or false?
My g/f is 22 and has a group of friends who have been together since they were 13. Theres about 10 of them and they are always there for eachother and its all really genuine, just saying.
 Quoting: TheBridge


Your girlfriend is still a child. Of course she still has these friends. At this stage in life they are all following about the same path. Ask her where these "friends" are when she is 40.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25818130


Actually they are all doing totally different things and all have smaller groups of friends in what they are doing. I've never seen such a big group of girls get on so well, maybe it won't last but it works now. No doubt things will happen but they care about eachother so long may it last.

Re: Women don't have ANY friends. True or false?
In my experience a lot of female friendships are centered around gossip.

I couldn't say what guy friendships are about, maybe sports and drinking.

The best friendships I've had were with males.
 Quoting: DOT 2 DOT


Sorry to say that your "friendship" with a male wasn't a bonified "friendship". Maybe it seemed that way from your perspective but unless the guy was gay then he wasn't your friend. He was just waiting for an opportunity to bang that pussy out. And if there was any underlying intention to have sex with you then there simply was no friendship. Friends don't want to secretly bang each other. That's called something else.

Re: Women don't have ANY friends. True or false?
no such thing as friends

only people using each other to different degrees

when the using is balanced both parties benefit so they pretend to care about each other

but they really don't

not beyond the benefits of the 'friendship'

I don't think there are any genuine beings left in the world..

once the innocence of the child is gone it's kill or be killed, use or be used... this is the reality of life

there is nothing genuine about a relationship in a humans life past childhood...

sorry you might not want to admit that to yourself

but this is the truth of life as a human
 Quoting: ^TrInItY^


yeah man, I have to agree with this.

I never really believed in the concept of friendships.

a lot of my closest friends over the years have turned into my worst enemies, and I have some mentee's who are experiencing the same thing.

but trinity, what about the mentor/mentee relationship?

I think that's a genuine relationship, as I have learned a great deal from the 5-8 mentors i've had over the years...

I considered them genuine relationships... not friendships, but genuine relationships.

so while there may not be genuine beings left in the world, there maybe genuine relationships...

but your right, even those relationships, we're still using each other...

however, i have found those relationships to provide me with the shortcut/wisdom/experiences i need to grow and learn faster.

good post homey, i appreciate you stopping by.

:)

You said it "i have found those relationships to PROVIDE ME with..." You said it! You are using them.

Re: Women don't have ANY friends. True or false?
It's a well known fact that many women keep their real personalities hidden away from their boyfriends until they get get married and then let it all out like an odious fart once the man is tied to her financially. Which says a lot about women.


 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1600351


This is also true of men. Everyone is more polite until you have to live with them 24/7, then their true self shows through. Some of it stinks, but if you pay attention the sweet part of them shines through, too.

Re: Women don't have ANY friends. True or false?
Marriages end because people grow apart. Why should it be any different with other friends? Unless a person is following exactly the same path as you in their life, or you are both absulutely free of the tendancy to judge, that friendship will eventually end entirely, or be reduced.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25818130


I would also add that people are most capable of finding that ongoing friendship if they are at absolute peace with their own company. Truly, the success in any relationship depends on how comfortable you are with yourself.

shhh
this thread is not looking for wisdom
few here are
jump into the finger pointing circle jerk or find a new thread!
you're at glp
we don't discuss underlying problems and work together to find solutions for a better world
we prefer to look at the symptoms and treat those while ignore the causes
it's how our society has been programmed
so that we always have the problem/reaction/solution going on
don't worry, i'm sure there's a med for your condition

Re: Women don't have ANY friends. True or false?
Its always been said 'men have their friends, women have their family'. As a female I find it true. Although I don't hang out with women. Just one. But shes like me. Neither of us particularly get involved in the social habits you listed. I do see it a lot though.

Now, what about the male sex? There's a lot to be said of there social habits too. Lies to get women, lies to friends for egotistical reasons. False pride over mundane things. Lol.... the human race... smh.

false.

however most women are taught by their mother to judge and compare to other women. the point of reference always being from the "self" it becomes harder to relate to the whole of. expanded consciousness, compassion and pure unconditional love surpass and override this type of programming. thus many woman can find a true friend or two for a lifetime.
key #1- loving and accepting the "self" wholly, thus the ability to love and accept others.
key #2- lifting oneself out of the point of reference of the self and relating to life from the point of planetary/universal.

Are you talking to me? I'm not delusional or derlusional. I am speaking from experience. Once people get mad at each other in a relationship (which often happens after the polite stage wears thin) people start pointing fingers at each other and seem incapable of seeing how they themselves contributed to the problems. It's a defense method. But if you keep actively loving them and fighting for your relationship they will come around. You'll see the sweet person they've been hiding and they will see the true person you are.

It's the innocent little kid in us that has been hurt over the years that we hide. The world sees a mainly polite person, but when someone gets close the polite wears thin and the anger and resentment that is the fortress to protect the inner child comes out in battle mode. Only the truly tenacious lover will get to the child. Once revealed you will remember instantly what attracted you to each other in the first place.

Not every person sets this fortress around themselves because life has not hurt everyone to the same degree. But a lot more people do than you would imagine. You may have your own crusty shell, too.
