Olsojente: No, I think you were rude... nothing wrong with being single and rich...
I'll wait until i hear from her. According to all the circumstances, including knowing each other very well, i don't think she will feel she deserves to be angry!

I don't understand why she got angry, when you offered advise, like she did.

lusciousmile: Like it does the way she gave hers to Cris.Cris was there and was obviously hurt, we've already established that. She probably can't replay the whole scenario in words.How is it rude, when you don't have all the facts?
cristina: When my friend told me to go to NYC where i can be single and rich i told her to go to that TV program where they help people to improve their "taste" in dressing
Do you think there was a nice balance in this exchage of words?
Have you ever lost friends by telling them what you think about them? What can't we say? If it's to improve their behaviour, to whom should we tell the harsh truth?
Its good to be honest Christina.. cause lies don't help anyone... even white lies.. it is cowardly to lie.. however we can be honest in a kind and loving way... also we need only give information when we are asked for it...
If someone asks me for an honest opinion... beware... I will give it!!! but I will always try to do it in a nice or constructive way...
Something like clothes sense is fairly objective as well, and I wouldn't really bother too much unless the outfit made the person look ridiculous or something....
Cris, in answer to your question, no I have not lost friends by telling them the truth.
My friends are my family and we have a relationship where we can talk, we can be blunt and we all appreciate how we are within our own personalities, we all have our style, with regards to dressing... If my friend, wore something that looked hideous and she was going out, I would state 'YOu are not going out like that?'
Friends are friends, we learn from them, we attach to much power to truth, honesty, and respect.
Honest, respectful, truthful people do not advertise that they are all of those things, they just are.
