Ever since the book came out, I've received feedback about how it's made women think about friendships throughout their lives, as well as who is in their lives now. The goal of this blog is to open up and create a dialogue about friendships: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Each week I will post my thoughts, experiences, as well as various articles, topics or quotes that I feel are important when examining female friendships. Please feel free to leave comments; I look forward to hearing from you!

Why We Love Our BFFs

I came across this article called 9 Things A Girl's Female Friends Are Best At by Katie Heaney and Arianna Rebolini.  The article includes some great reasons as to why we adore our best gal pals.

Reason #8 from the article:
"Delivering the brutal truth.
There’s a specific kind of tough love that a woman gets only from her female friends, maybe because there’s no inclination for any woman to go easy on another just because they’re women. This isn’t to say that all guys treat women like delicate flowers! (Sometimes they treat women like flowers who are really smart and strong, for flowers.) But it’s your girlfriends who understand what it’s like to be a woman trying to get ahead — in your education, career, relationship, life — and they’re the ones who can give you the constructive, respectful, and, at times, painfully honest criticism to help you get there. Theirs is often the only criticism you care about, anyway."

Do you agree with the reasons?  Would you add any other ones?
