It's come up a few times that women don't trust each other, that they compete with each other when it comes to attracting men, that they feel no loyalty whatsoever to others of their gender.
I'm a little surprised by this. I still have the same best girlfriend I had when I was ten. We live far away from each other but talk all the time and I would drop everything if she needed me and vice versa. My university friends and I are still close and I can't think of one instance where I would have hurt any one of them in any way, especially in the man zone. Some goes for other women I've met along the way, at the gym, at work, etc.
The only toxic relationship I personally could think of was my ex's sister... and it wasn't a friendship by choice. That girl would happily throw you down a flight of stairs, stab you in the heart with a carving knife, or throw battery acid in your face, if it meant she could have something you had that she didn't, but wanted.
Just wondering... what kind of friendships do we have for the most part? Good, bad, toxic?

you keep the ones you need and you get the ones you deserve?

I'm okay with other women, I love them. Sometimes they're funny to me though, get jealous etc.

Well, I won't say I've never been envious, or maybe even jealous, of my girlfriends. Never really over men (their choices, :P) but maybe other things like their successes, or bodyparts. I've been furious with them too on occasion. But I would squash it down somehow... not look for a way to "win."

women only do that when they have extremely low self-esteem. Or else if they are complete and utter selfish bitches.

selfish bitches.
and you can see them coming a mile off.
no worries.

Attempt not to do any of those things.

wow..i'm actually agreeing with you on this one xxxL!
I still talk to girlfriends from the 5th grade!! I have a few trusting friends that I would trust around anyone! I think it depends on the person and their situations. NEVER IN MY LIFE have I ever wanted a man, or looks, or materilistic things that my friends have had. There are certain boundaries that you just don't cross when you are in a trusting relationship...this includes your girlfriends as well!

Let's talk about the selfish bitches. I've never understood why some people are only out for themselves?
They seem to get ahead though. I couldn't get to sleep at night.

I think my relationship with other girls (the ones i like) are good.
I have an awesome relationship with my girls, ill do anything for any one of them, I'd be lost without them.
The whole 'all women hate each other' things is rubbish!

some women simply can't be happy for each other & their success. if life changes (jobs, marriage, children, etc) pull you out of the box they categorized you into they can't handle it. i don't get it but i've seen it many times.
i keep very few close at hand, only the ones i would (and can) trust with my life.

Me too. I have my trusted friends and would do anything for them. And I know I can always count on them, and I have. Probably most of us are the same.
There are however, women that you can spot a mile off, and you just know they have "b*tch" written all over them. These women are usually so unintelligent however that they have a hard time hiding their personalities, so you can see right through them and stay away. The thing is though, men have the same kind of social structure too, so it isn't just a "female" thing. Lots of guys are loyal friends for life, would do anything for their boy... and then there are those kind of guys who would stab you in the back, take your girl and your job without blinking twice. I just don't believe it's only a "girl" thing.

put a group of women in a room and more and likely you'll have some bitch fest after wahile. put some guys in a room and they'll be talking about xbox and football. women are evil! lol

See, that's just a cliche. Put a bunch of women in a room and chances are just as good you'll get much laughing. There are lots of women who talk about ideas, not people. >:(

Men have similar problem. The saying "Bros over ho's" comes mind
I have seen women do some ill mess to each other over a dude.
As a matter of fact, I dated a girl who had best friend who like me, the girl was at her friend's throat. I later found out that a similar situation had happened before me.

I think Linda is correct on this. It boils down to insecurity & low self-esteem. That's the only reason I can think of that would make someone want to make a move on another woman's man. (That and an intense hatred). I could never understand it myself. I can never date a guy that I know has dated a friend. As for female friends, the only female friends I have are strong, independant women with their own sense of who they are. I don't have time for petty, jealous, insecure women, ...and you can smell those a mile away. Working in films, you kind of get a sense for who they are and what they're like, ...always comparing themselves to you or any other woman within 3 feet of them. no thanks. overall, I think women's friendships are much healthier than men's friendships. Although when guys bond, they really bond ...'cause men just aren't use to lettings themselves feel close to another man.

ta babes. I've just got back from the weekend.
I don't do toxic girl friendships, I don't do hangovers, I don't do painkillers.
I just do nice & try to be right on.
sometimes I'm funny
I always stick up for myself and everyone else.
I've got one amazing girlfriend I just spent the weekend with. She's got a hubby and a 13 year old daughter. They all fight and I mediated. I've spent my entire life bringing out the best in people. That's what I do.

gonna scroll. I've missed you did i miss anything?

But I arrived back from the manic family in the country (I thought i was manic) to London and my lovely upstairs neighbour welcomes me home and says look the place is safe. Fine, I knew it would be. She's 22 and has lived here like 3-5 and I've lived here for 15.
She says she has a problem with the TV license people and I say but I've paid mine and I live on the ground floor and they're no way gonna get upstairs to yours, you could just throw your telly out the window (I have an issue about this, I think the BBC TV license is worth the £131 a year.
I'll tell this story again later, she thought it was because she's black. I said it's a TV license & I've got one.
