Earlier today I was with my friend (female one) and talking about different things when she said "I envy you men that you can keep a friendship indefinitely". I won't go into details but it seems she had a break up with another girl who she thought was her best friend.
I know by experience men can be best friends, quite often for life. I have 2 friends, both of which can be categorized as "best friends" and I've known them both for more than 20 years and I'm pretty sure these friendships will last a lot longer.
But I wonder - can women be best friends? I've heard all kinds of things (said by women) that it's not possible bc of some kind of instinctual competitiveness - sometimes competitiveness about men, other times about who looks better in a dress, boobs size and so on.
So, what do you think? Is best friendship between women possible?
