Couldnt agree more as to how women are conditioned with different sets of priorities.

I do agree that it is impossible to generalize and yes a lot depends on how your friends are as a person, irrespective of their gender. But I also feel that,women because of their social conditioning tend to score lower on an average in this issue of maintaining and nurturing friendship! It actually should have been opposite as by nature, women are more caring and sensitive souls. It is entirely my personal opinion that somewhere the chauvinistic social conditioning does come in the way of nurturing female friendship. Your mom's friends circle's example does seem like an exception to me but I am so happy to learn about it.Arunimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862809855224715293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413475563472719074.post-41958995136458187982010-11-15T15:01:33.883+05:302010-11-15T15:01:33.883+05:30A candid and insightful post - as always.
It'...A candid and insightful post - as always. <br />It's sadly true, to a considerable extent, that women often find themselves displaying the crab-in-a-barrel syndrome, and spread a lot of negativity about each other, consciously or unconsciously. However, I can say that a lot of the common talk on malebonding is nothing less than a myth.Anindo Senhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797937746390651769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413475563472719074.post-73207538244289560462010-11-14T16:18:44.005+05:302010-11-14T16:18:44.005+05:30I was thinking a lot about this....neutrally !
Ye...I was thinking a lot about this....neutrally !<br /><br />Yes, I am fortunate to have friends throughout my life who are girls, though at any point, I never had many of them !<br /><br />I do not think girls are selfish or they can't value friendship but I think as the life progresses their priority change. However, by nature, girls are more adaptable and they adjust their priority with the changed life. And as they don’t prioritize themselves, they don’t prioritize there friendship also! Would you be angry with them ?? nah, I think !<br /><br />Yes, I do agree there are people (i wont say only girls, but boys also)who tend to forget you during crisis.....but then will u call them friends in first place ? I doubt ! I would say it is rather one'e mistake to consider them friends at all.<br /><br />When I was thinking of women friendship, the first example came to my mind was my mother and her friends….. a group of six or seven ladies..house wives and school teachers...stood by each other through ups and downs for nearly about 25 years !!...As they go out for all ladies picnic once a year, latest movies or new restaurant in town, they also provide support to each other when one's son-in-law falls seriously sick in remote city, or one's husband undergoes major heart operation or at least one is unwell to cook, they send out dishes in turn. They never needed to show they care as they really care !! <br /><br />I believe this is not an exception..everyone has something to share like this…so the joke is actually a joke !
