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. Men, on the other hand, often feel a friendship isn't a friendship unless it is expressed in activities.
