Now for some serious discussion... a discussion people, a discussion. Pls do not treat this as a place where you want to 'shove your opinions down people's throats'...I hope you understood what I meant.

Anyone and absolutely anyone are welcome to air their views on this topic I have chosen in here. Actually, this topic has been bothering me for quite some time. And here it is -

1)Is it true that only a woman can be another woman's enemy?

2)Is it true that - "Women can never remain friends forever?"

3)Is this true in the case of men?

Would really love to hear your views on this topic.

1) True. Look at any mother-in-law --- she always hates her son's wife. The wife also invariably hates her mother-in-law and sister-in-laws. On the other hand, the father-in-law most of the time loves his daughter-in-law!

2) True. It is because women are very suspicious in nature. One friend may think that the other is either trying to fool around with ther brother or her husband. And if it is not suspicion then it is jealousy - jealousy of the friend's husband's social status, wealth.

3) True to some extent that men can never remain friends with other friends and it is no fault of their own; it is because the wives don't let their husbands continue to mingle with old friends - the wives always finds fault with the friends. The only exception here is if the men's friendship started in grade/primary/high school; In those cases, the friendship will continue as the river Meghna flows continually :)

Now that doesn't mean that men and women live in harmony. It is known that the river Meghna (read females) swallowed the river banks (read men) and ruined lives. It is also known that men has unleashed some of its most heinous crimes against women. But that wasn't a part of your question.

1. Not true, as many women have men as enemies.

2. Although women can argue and debate their friendships with every change of mood, they are still capable of remaining friends for a long period of time.

3. Same goes for men.

1. Of course not. Anyone can be another person's enemy. Their sex has nothing to do with it. How they treat that person does.

2. Of course not. Some people have lifelong friends, some do not. Their sex has nothing to do with it...how they interact and are able to keep in touch does.

3. Neither of the previous questions would appy to men either. There is no blanket statement that I know of that can be applied to all men or all women. People are individuals.

answer 1. No, it could also happened to man

answer 2. No, it will depend on those women personalities. Somehow some people doesn't match with each other which will cause frictions. Example some people like to be bossy, but when 2 person with the same level of bossines meet up , it is unlikely they will like each other

3. everything happened on women can also happened on men (though men won't be able to get pregnant & feed breastmilk), the rest is the same. Men & women supposed to be equal, no difference.

1) no, i have soem guys as enemies
2) women can always remain friends forever! they are still humans right?
3) men can remain friends for ever too!

Everyone is a human, and they all react the same
it is just that women have breast and men have a dick
that is the only difference.
besides a little difference in thinking, but htat is caused by hormones

Never. Men and women can befurious enemies if the situation arises.

Women CAN and DO remain phenomenal friends "forever" (many make it through their friends' divorces etc, no problem)

nope. Men have the same problems/strengths as women, they just often demonstrate these differently

1 isn't true, many women have men as enemies. Such as my ex husband.

2 isn't true, because I have a female friend of over 30 years.

3 my ex never kept a friend for more than a few years, he had many enemies both male and female. Women he used, and their husbands.

1)true
2)true
3)true
1) Is true b/c if you ask a woman who her worst enemy is she'll more then likely name another woman.
2) Is true b/c something always gets in the way more than likely a guy.
3) Is true b/c it's the same for guys but opposite.
Both females and males hold grudges.I'm not sure if that was what you were looking for.

I have one view that answers all 3 questions. There are very very very rarely absolutes in any situation and these are no exception.

Of course it is possible for men and women to be enemies and vice versa. They're called spouses. (Little joke there.)

Of course it is possible for women to remain friends forever.

Of course it is possible for men to be friends forever also.

Of course these situations might be rare, but they are possible.

1. No, many men are women's emenies too.
2. No, many women are friends for life. Some sit with them on their death bed. I have 2 friends who have done that for friends and I have done it for one.
3. I'm not a man...don't know but probably, they are people too and we are all basically the same.
