I came across this idea a while back.
As a guy, all of my real friends are my friends because we share some one thing in common. We both like school, or a certain sport, or a certain game. I was asking around, and the first answer I got, was that two best friends first met each other because they both had Pok'emon cards in 5th grade.
I asked some girls, and they said that their best friends were they best friends because at some point they had told their friend one all of their most important secrets. Then, as secrets were quickly passed between the two, they because best friends.
Is this theory true? Can you attest to it?
Do you have some evidence for it?
Could this be why (no offense intended)
1) men talk single-mindedly with their best friends, but "break up" less?
2) girls gossip more, yet often have arguments over things?
Your opinion?

I think men compete against each other less. Girls like cliques involving a group dynamic and common ground. That is fine as long as they leave others alone. If a girl is different or a loner, some girls have a problem with that. It is rare for guys to harass a woman over being different or alone. They might be curious or concerned about it, but they won't harass them.
Some women have told me that other girls can give them a hard time and I have seen it happen. Personally, it seems to be an issue of maturity and background. Surely, there are better things to do with your time.
I think men enjoy going out, joking around, watching sports and tossing the old ball around. Girls like to chitchat, share food, go shopping, go out, talk on the phone, watch movies, etc.

i am little confused with your question.. but i do know that, in my opinion, it is harder for girls to make friends than it is for guys to make friends. when guys automatically meet, they give them the benefit of the doubt and dont judge before hand. Girls, on the other hand, are mean before they really get to know someone. i think it can have somewhat to do with secrets, because guys dont usually tell other guys their deepest thoughts or feelings, thats why they become close easier. Girls need someone that they can really trust, that if they were to tell them something (regarding feelings, which girls love to talk about) they wouldnt go telling everyone else
