And, like a garden, friendships will wither and die when not tended. This is such a shame because one of the things women do the best in this world is be friends. With all due respect, men aren't nearly as good at it as a rule. This is followed, of course, by your basic belches and grunts that are evidently some sort of primordial male bonding thing that probably means something to them, but not us. But ask them how their buds' lives are going, if they are happy with their wives or if their kids are okay, and they will probably scratch their heads and have that dazed look on their face.
Women are natural sharers.
Women, on the other hand delight in the sharing of our lives. We enjoy hearing about how the family's doing, how things are at work with the new boss, where we got that new dress and what the recipe is for that delicious peach cheesecake we just ate. No matter is too small or large for us to discuss in minute detail. Not only do we enjoy conversation, but we need that verbal connection to those around us. We solve our problems by talking our way though them.
