..::Women::..

Women base friendships on feelings, there’s a unique charm of having female friends. They can make you feel at the top of the world and really pamper you. Yes yes… we women are prone to mood swings – we can be very stubborn, cranky, whiny and sulk about something that is probably very petty. Accept it!!! Brace with it.. haha…

Women like to show that they are very much the same as the other and show their weaknesses to their friends. Where men enjoy to talk with friends about their accomplishments and might even brag about some achievements, women are very careful with this. They are more likely to tell each other their most embarrassing moments (Gawd, you know who you are.. I shared tons of embarrassing moments in my life. Lol) or how they made a stupid mistake. Women friends cheer for each other, provide a strong shoulder to lean on in distress situations (To all my darlings out there, remember this ok), comfort you with soothing words when hurt and have unadulterated fun when it comes to spending quality time.

If you are too stressed out and need to share and vent out your feelings to someone, your best bet would be to call up your closest female friend and blurt out everything. You will be surprised to find how considerate your friend can be. Not only will she listen to you patiently but also offer advice that is actually practical. And that is not all. If your friend lives close by, she may even drop by to give you a hug!

Not all friends are the same. With different issues, you will probably go to different friends. Where one friend will give you a shoulder to cry on, the other will try to distract you from the issue by suggesting an activity.

There’s the Stimulator:

A Stimulator friend is someone who is always very Happy-Go-Lucky, an enthusiast! They are enthusiastic about what you are doing or planning to do, whether you want to excel in your career to become a beautician or open a cafe/boutique. This person will always say: “Go for it, babe!” and does not judge your plans or curious career changes at all. This person encourages, inspires and will give you a little extra push where needed, because this friend only sees opportunities ahead and a brighter future in you.

There’s the ‘Friend in Need’:

There are friends where they will offer to help you out. They will be one to offer to drive you around when your car is in the workshop, accompany you when you do not have company for lunch etc.. She organises, saves and takes care until you are no longer in need of anything.

There’s the ‘The Confidant’:
With this person you can discuss anything from your work to last night’s erotic dream, and most of all; you can discuss with this friend things that you would not discuss with your partner. This friend will laugh with you, cry with you, but would never judge you. She will listen to you, but never repeat to others what you told her.

There’s Fun Friend:
This friend knows how to have uncomplicated fun at any place at any time. She is not embarrassed to go from the slide in the playground, or to flirt with a bartender for a free drink in club. She is unruly, relaxed and celebrates life.

There’s ‘The Truth Teller’:
This is a friend who does not try to rise above you, but truly wants you to bring out the best of yourself because she sees that there’s so much you can do and outshine the rest. She will not only tell you when you are not dressed properly for your age, or that you really are drinking too much lately, but she will also tell you when you are wrong in an argument with your partner, or that you really are a little too harsh to your partner. You need to realize that this friend is only telling you the truth because she wants you to have a chance to change it and better yourself. She does not say these things from jealousy or revenge, but truly loves you.

There’s the ‘Surprising Friend’:
We normally mix around with people that have a similar background to our own; they are about the same age, have a similar level of education, employment, or come from a similar cultural background. But we can enlarge our world and our perspectives by opening up for other people as well. By having friends from different backgrounds, friends with different cultures or a friend that is twice or half your age, you can learn many things about each other.

Which part do you play? Do you have friends that met all of the above mentioned? hehe..

Female friends are fun to be with and if you find even one true female friend, consider yourself blessed. I am so blessed to have mine. Thank you!! *hugs*
