Girlfriends Needed

Why every Girl needs Girlfriends

#Girlfriends

I have heard before from ladies saying they do not need or have girlfriend's. Some even say that they do not get along even with other women. They are more comfortable with male friends and do not need any female friends.Those women are fine being "just one of the guys". The statement above is false to me if not pure BS. You do need female friends in life. Here are some reasons girlfriends are priceless to me and truly needed.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

Science proves men and women think differently. Men think more logic based and women tend to think more based on emotion. You can just not expect to be comforted or consoled by a male friend the way you would be by a female friend. Guys tend to sympathize with someone however, women actually empathize with the person. Men just do not view things the same way as women view them period. Women simply can relate to other women better than any man could relate to them.We also have more in common that allows girlfriend's to bound with each other quickly. Things common between women interest similarities, and life experiences we share.

One reason girlfriend's are so needed in your life is they are more empathetic towards you then a me are. This means showing more empathy and compassionate to you in deep times of needs, or hardships.That is a very important trait to have is empathy in any relationship.

Sex and Nature

So, when you are heartbroken about a failed romance girlfriend's understand more because most have been in the same situation and felt the same exact emotions as you.The sexual potential thing is also difficult for me to overlook. Sometime concerning friendships with men. There is a high possibility one friend could develop feelings for the other. This as we all know is usually a friendship killer. A good amount or most opposite sex friendships at some point become sexual. That is really a huge friendship killer too.

I have to politely disagree with this take. You made some great points, and I'm sure in most cases most women are better having female friends in their lives.
But there are always exceptions.

Growing up, I always hung around and befriended mostly girls, with maybe one or two guy friends. I didn't connect or barely had much in common with my girls friends.

Good grief, while most of those girls were sweet, they all turned out the same: could barely keep a secret, catty, full of drama, and talked about each other.
After two of my supposedly best friends nonchalantly blabbed to my mom about whom I had a crush on when we were around 17, 18? I lost my trust in them and was very careful what I confided in them after that.

In college I made new female friends- same song, different verse. However, I also made more guy friends, and I noticed I felt a lot more comfortable and relaxed around them compared to women. I could be myself, and the entire campus didn't know my business after a breakup or broken heart.

Yes, men are more logical than emotional: I personally need and prefer that, as it provides clarity in some situations. But I'm not much of an emotional person so that works for me!

And I'll skip the "people of the opposite sex can't be friends" rant, because it's been discussed on here several times already. But I can happily say nowadays the majority of my friends are indeed guys.
No drama, I go to them for advice, including relationships, there's no tension or hidden undertones, and no sexual tension or feelings.

I am opposed to female friends? Of course not! I have just yet to have any in my life that I feel I can trust or have a good connection with.
In the meantime, I'm VERY thankful and glad I have some good friends in my life.

Thanks miss

Excellent Take.

For an healthy social development, friends of both sexes are necessary, but same sex friends are the one with whom the most emphatic friendships are built.

And I agree on the fact that sexual tension/attractions ruins opposite sex relationship.
My best friend was female, and wasn't very happy when I got a girlfriend.
Time one month, the friendship was over.

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

Wow, thanks for MHO!

[Lilly_Fair]

Sure

Anytime

I have a female best friend, She will never be anything but that to me. I also have a very good friend, that a developed feelings for, So i had to back off.. having friends of both sexes as important, but one must be vigilant against the potential for sexual interaction.

Whatever drugs you on. QUIT GIVING THEM OUT!

Okay, so you equate logic to apathy and emotionality to empathy... Guess what. If something isn't logical it isn't true. you're own statement infers the opposite of what your saying. Women are more sympathetic, while men are more empathetic.

Question... What is a sadist? I'd like to know how that false equivalency works with sadists... They seem to be really, emotional about hurting people... Kinda seems like a rough anamoly to skip over...

Also, everyone who experiences the same thing has thecsame knowledge?

Wow, you just used every negative stereotype agaibst women, in a way that negatively stereotypes women... Sit it out next time champ.

[Lilly_Fair]

Sure

[HOAAH]

I do agree with this take. I have an online girlfriend, and I like to chit chat with her online because she empathizes and understands my situations in a girl's point of view kind of way and I love it :)

Nothing wrong with people from mars.
Venus people sometimes get jealous and stab you in the back and gossip.

I have never believed this " Women hate each other " stuff... total BS , if anything women stick together far more so than males and have much closer friendships. However male friendships are simpler. Look up the " Women are Wonderful " effect and both genders tend to view females in a more positive light than males. However , some of my 12 yr old daughters former best friends have turned against her.

Interesting Take. Male and female friends are indeed complementary.

[Lilly_Fair]

I think both are needed

[Logorithim]

I definitely agree.

[Lilly_Fair]

Just introduce me is my thing

[Eleni91]

I agree though I’m attracted to women.
