Search Results: female friendships

This question came up when I saw how my girlfriend acts with her female friends...

She and a friend were both wearing shorts, and the friend showed my girlfriend something on her phone, my girlfriend got close enough so that their bare legs/thighs were making some contact with her friend's bare legs/thighs, and I expected one of them to move away... but no, they just stayed in that position for 30 minutes as her friend continued to show her stuff, and they didn't seem to even mind or notice.

The same thing happened at the beach, but with a different friend... both of them were in bikinis, and they got real close together to talk, and their skin was making a lot of contact... but neither of them minded.

I was pretty surprised at this, because guys would never let this happen, at the fear of being called "gay" or whatever.

When I confronted my girlfriend about this, she seemed confused, and asked me "why would it matter?" I told her that if guys did it it'd be seen as gay, but it's somehow okay between girls. And she said that the double standard is pretty awful, and that the skin contact for her is a sign of friendship and intimacy, that she's sad guys don't have it.

TL;DR- My girlfriend doesn't give a shit if her skin touches her friend's skin. They could be super close in bikinis, a lot of skin contact, and she just doesn't care. Are most women really this touchy feely?

So I had a female friend and we know each other for 3 years. But lately she started arguments out of very small things and she said that she doesn't want to message or talk to me anymore. We've had our ups and downs in our friendship but I think that there is still something left. Should I apologise for not creating enough time for her or should I just move on?
