The qualities of friendship are just as important, if not more, than those of an intimate relationship. The sign of a really good friend is when you haven't seen him or her in a long time and you pick up right where you left off. Experts say it takes an average of three years to make a friend. In reality, it could take no more than a few minutes of conversation. But how these friendships are expressed depends on whether you're a man or a woman.
Men go to a game and talk about the game.
Women go to a game and talk about everything. Another point about women is they often share intimate details. Friend A tells her problems to Friend B, who tells her problem in return. If there isn't a problem, they may make one up. In other words, a friendship for women generally isn't a friendship unless you share everything.
