Hi Amarachi, you have an interesting take and valid points also but you have responded in a pov where you automatically take sides on the female friendships.

I think friendships either male or female can be beautiful in its own form, you just have to find and connect with the right people. I don't agree that female friendships are "much more" beautiful than male because humans have their flaws and their realities. She didn't say there're no beautiful female friendships. she even hoped to have one eventually cos she would love for that to happen. she only stated her reality. Yes, some male friendships can be toxic (not all of them), some female friendships can be toxic (not all of them) but that's her reality and I can also say I have heard a lot of things in the female friendship corner. Honestly, there're very rare beautiful ones to see. I could go on about the gender friendships cos I have had my own fair share but like i said everyone has their realities. And yes you were right about how she ought to have had a proper conversation with someone that comes through for her when she needs it but we both don't know if she did or maybe even tried to make efforts.

However, not everybody likes to hear the truth or acknowledge it, she isnt putting down female friendships, she's only stating what she thinks it is. Her reality, your reality. My own reality is that I prefer male friendships because the ones I have encountered are wholesome. Honest, open, getting past differences and being "genuine" at getting past it because logic, not pretending to get past it. I also have amazing women as friends but they're few and I treasure them till death but I will rather not have a clique of friends. Having amazing humans that we both are of great value to eachother is what people should focus on.

PS: I believe what's shown on mainstream media is a representation of life, maybe not accurate but it's.
