friends?? think so??

according to wikipedia
The value of friendship is often the result of friends consistently demonstrating the following:

1. The tendency to desire what is best for the other
2. Sympathy and empathy
3. Honesty, even in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth
4. Mutual understanding and compassion; ability to go to each other for emotional support
5. Enjoyment of each other's company
6. Trust in one another
7. Positive reciprocity — equal give-and-take between the two parties
8. The ability to be oneself, express one's feelings and make mistakes without fear of judgement
i agree , but lets face it ,men's friendship is not the same as women's one.
does women to women friendship have the strong bonds of a mens one???
why so much jealousy and competition between girlfriends????
can a females friendship reach the levels of a relationship between men friends???
why usually on an infidelity, the adulterous is the best friend of the deceived??
doh comfort innocent wave yay

I think the wikipedia description is pretty good. Distinguishing between female and male friendships is another issue, something about comparing female and male social behaviors, but I don't really think it alters the basic definition of friendship.

It might, however, make you question the genuineness of some of these "friendships" between males or females. See how many of these 8 qualities of friendships are not actually present in these "friendships" that have jealousy and competition.
i agree
definition of friendship is well attributed by wiki
the friendship among women has not the same significance as the one of men.
too much jealousy and hipocrisy and lack of trust cant build a healthy relationuh oh

Lily, not gonna suggest we are all saints. But if it's real friendship between two guys they try avoid fishing in each others ponds so to speak.

If they however should go for the same "target" simoultaniously ... well let the best man win! Simple.
Best would be then if one back out early.
There's plenty of fish. I'm also thinking: if she's best with him and not me, well then i'm best with someone else then her!
So all good.

Here it also matters the rule.1 in OP's list.
Wanting the best for each other.

When it comes to exes it's a different story.
The one who first was there first will be respected by the good friend who simply will avoid any exes of his. Most guys support(and practice) this rule.
Me is abit more flexi on it and only require an approval of the friend (if this seldom situation should appear).

So what i'm saying is: if thay are good real friends, a girls should normally not be able to come between.
If she do they may not have been so good friends in the first place. This ofcourse is the ideal. But it exsists and it is MY ideal too.

Ok, a long serious reply there to a not so serious asked q,

Blue...wave My friendships with me are much better then with women especially now at this age. With men, I'm not a threat as in a woman to woman friendship. I'm more comfortable with men whereas with women, they always want to go one better with their hair, clothes, etc. I get tired of hearing how much bette they are at everything they do. The jealousy aspect is a nuisance. doh

OK blue, as reconciliation is in the air, i'll give you one last chance, but you leave my poor deflated girl alone, ive just stuck a hands-off notice on her, oh dear, i shouldn't have done that should I. sigh
monte
thank u blushing blushing blushing blushing blushing wine kiss
Hi Blue, a little better now,thank you....hug the comment 'Real friendship between two guys they try to avoid fishing in each others pond'. Nice way to put it? I would have to say and consider myself very lucky that this most definitely applies with the friendship I have with one of my closest female friend.

There is just no nonsense there,I just speak of the honesty and friendship/bond that we share. The fact that we are able to be so honest with each other that we have made each other cry,with the understanding that what ever hurts that we have had to bring to surface whether it be in regards to men or what have you. Good friends don't mind hearing the painful bits,because then we know we have done a good job. We are just of the opinion that no man is worth fighting over either. Maybe our friendship too good..laugh this is why we still single! no room for anyone else..laugh wine
exotic
glad to hear u r better now. u and ur girlfriend r the exception to the rule, but if u r indeed , u r very luckyconversing comfort bouquet
Thank u monte. No i must have misread something between some lines somewhere... blushing .... i should try focus more on the lines i suppose, that's more sound handshake

wine
tbh, i have only seen girlfriends compete and backstab in the movies. Maybe i'm too inexperienced or too secured, i dunno. I have good friends, both male and female and they all pretty much have manifest the same loyalty, care, understanding, compassion etc towards each other. I'd hate to think it's a cultural thing as friendship should be above such divisions. bouquet
Plain either ur lucky like exotic , a few posts above , or u haven 't found yet , the real character of ur girlfriends . conversing uh oh wave
extremely lucky wink
if i'd choose to think that people get what they deserve, then i must be awesome laugh
