Great article, Sharalyn. Amen to the last line. Michael, I couldn’t agree more with your comment.

Sharalyn Hartwell has done it again! This was awesome, I liked the point about how we recognize the details. I pick up on signals that my guy friends rarely have any clue about. We know girls better then anyone else, because well duh, we’re girls. We do the same things are guy friends girlfriends do. We all make decisions base on our emotions, “talk in riddles,” and flirt the same exact way.

I think this article can also be flipped, it’s important for girls to have guy friends too. My boys tell it like it is and are extremely logical. It’s black and white with them, no gray area; which in my opinion is a huge help when you’re debating over whether or not you should take the next step with a guy.

Awesome post, way to shake things up a little!

Gentle plug in the last sentence for yourself, Ms. Hartwell? Very well written article, I agree with the importance of having a girl friend. Michael also hit the nail on the head when it comes to girls and shopping. I imagine you’ve probably helped a few of your friends out when it comes to fashion…

Having had many, many girl friends, I can tell you that there’s almost always unrequited feelings on one side or the other. It’s probably less like Harry/Sally than the prototypical Brat Pack movie where the “buddy” helps the guy win the school hottie but secretly longs for her own shot.

In fact, the most successful true friendship I’ve ever had with a girl was with someone I had actually dated. After about a month of seeing each other, we both felt like the romantic vibe just wasn’t there, but we had so much in common we hung out constantly as best friends.

And something I’d put in the top 5: She can help you shop for clothes. Good work though!
