So i was thinking…
from the recent couple of threads by girls asking for advice on what to do, what to say, how to respond to their friends…
now if there is someone you call a friend… why do you have to think/worry about what you gonna say to them??
with other relationships there are other things, complexities n stuff…
could someone shed some light??
Re: Why girls can’t even handle friendships??
So you mean to say, there shouldn’t be any limits on what you say to friends? :khums:
Re: Why girls can't even handle friendships??
I think he means that if this person is really your friend, you would know better how to speak to them, than a bunch of anonymous people on a discussion board.
Re: Why girls can’t even handle friendships??
Exactly what I have been saying for what 5 years now…but no…don’t listen to CM he is a troll 
The advice here is one sided and always towards the girl who is *****ing.
Re: Why girls can’t even handle friendships??
:hinna: Since you’ve singled out one gender again, my reply would be one-sided too 
Because they care about their friendships and wouldn’t want to do anything to spoil that. They take extra care to handle such situations where misunderstandings could take place and their bond could be strained. I guess girls are more sensitive to the feelings of their friends and thus seek for the best possible advice to cope with such matters 
Re: Why girls can't even handle friendships??
^ May be then women should run public polls on GS, regarding such sensitive decisions of their lives : p More & clearer responses!
Re: Why girls can't even handle friendships??
I think it depends upon the woman, though I have seen that women generally like to tie down men though it is increasingly changing in the west. As for desans, I think it is the whole no gender mixing and anything serious = marriage that is drilled into their heads from childhood.
It does lead me to another interesting dilemma. Aren't most of the youngsters here western born and hence shouldn't have such restrictions as they are aware of boy-girl friendships that are common in the west? I don't get if girls are getting sentimental in this case.
Re: Why girls can’t even handle friendships??
only if people could see things past their gender insecurities 
Re: Why girls can’t even handle friendships??
^ you’re one to talk!
Re: Why girls can't even handle friendships??
Nomi,
I think for SOME posters it's more about thinking aloud. Of course they have an instinct about how to react in a particular situation, but it helps to get lots of different perspectives, to make sure you're considering everything.
Re: Why girls can't even handle friendships??
We girls can best handle our friendships... In fact such a large number of female guppans on this forum shows how we girls are willing to share and listen to other people (even if they are strangers) so imagine how open and frank are we with our real world friends... its just that we like to have loads of bakwaaaas which our poor friends might not bear and we just vommit everything here...

Hell ****ing yeah.
Re: Why girls can't even handle friendships??
lol. are you sure guys dont open threads about their girlfriends? :p
Re: Why girls can’t even handle friendships??
See what I mean? You just never disappoint me. I can always count on Nomi…
Re: Why girls can't even handle friendships??
I think women are very careful not to offend each other. I read an article about why some women keep getting in bad relationships and never consider that they might be the problem and the research suggested that women tend to agree with their friends rather than confront them head on about the friend possibly being the problem. Men are much more upfront, "Dude you're being an asshole". Simple.
IMO, this is why women can't play fight, because it would turn into a real fight. Women are more subtle and in general, nicer. Men tend to be more blunt about things and usually air it out. I've seen so many girls greet other girls with "Oh my god, hi sweetie!" etc and then afterward I find out they don't really like the girl. Then why would you show so much fake enthusiasm? Women....

woah, you just read ma mind, that's exactly what i think most people do here, think things through, discuss it with people that might have experienced something similar. instead of making impulsive decisions, most here would talk it out with people they know in the nonvirtual world and also get different viewpoints from people on here too. It does help to get a better perspective of the situation and make it more clear so the best possible decisions can be made rather than rush into a decision that a person might regret.
Re: Why girls can't even handle friendships??
We, men of Life1, need to like as many posts of our brothers as possible. You guys have not noticed, but this is the most important tactic Guppans of Life1 use to be united and stay ahead of us. So, like as many posts of your brothers you can.
Starting from this.
Re: Why girls can't even handle friendships??
Guppans do that becoz they really like the nonsense written as they lack brain. (Men shouldn't do that)
Let likeness of a post be likened to the likelihood of a missing brain :D
Re: Why girls can’t even handle friendships??
what you say is definitely understandable…but my question was not restricted to the posters…i only put that as a reference …the question was about the girls overall…
i have seen in real life too…thats why i asked…
Re: Why girls can't even handle friendships??
Becasue when men call someone friends they really mean it. They are open, blunt and honest and carelessly sincere. :p
Women on the other hand...
"Should I tell her truth?.... but she did not give any comment on my hair last night so I am not gonna think..lets ask someone else"
The whole friendship goes down the drain, because someone forgot to comment on her hair.
