I had to pull away from a friend a few years ago due to I was headed one way and she was not....it was nothing personal but we just didn't have anything in common to talk about. I have found that friends in my teens and early 20's are still my best....we have all grown up and stay in contact.

"that women are rivals for the attention, love, and approval of men and that they therefore can't really be friends (with other women),"
I don't agree with this...maybe young girls do this but if grown women have to compete with a friend then maybe they should find a new set!!

My pack of four "best" girlfriends have all been together for 25+ years now; friendships formed in our early 20's.

As far as getting together to trash talk men, with five divorces between us, I will admit that, YES that has happened in the past, LOL! We're all finally settled down with really great guys now, so that's no longer an issue.

Now we're facing more important things such as aging gracefully, empty nests and new grandkids, various bouts of cancer, menopause, vericose veins, plastic surgery decisions, and politics; ALWAYS with the politics, LOL!

You know, IMPORTANT things instead of the stupidity we considered Oh So Important in our youth. :)
