I do think this is timely. I’ve been to plenty of international conferences where there is a special womens’ breakfast and usually a speaker who explains how women, being the more peaceful/negotiating gender, need to be in more management positions and make the world a better and more peaceful place. Bollocks!

Students? Students are being the standard ??

Friendship between male are quite different from friendship between female, in general. At times I do see male as better friends towards eachother but that’s also due to the fact that they never go into eachother’s psyche and emotion. They also tend to approach eachother therefor way different than female approach eachother. Female are indeed not nice towards eachother if you look upon them from a certain perspective .. but all has a hidden meaning. Young people do what they do for specific reasons, not all unknown to theirselves. Things change with age. You quite often see male go more deeper in their conversations than with their friends whereas female, having see it is pointless, will go to a more shallow system (but they read stuff underneath without speaking about it (experience)).

I think things with graphs are far more convincing than things without graphs.

I think you need to do a study of far more people of all ages & all walks of life to get a better picture of the answer to this, personally.

“Mmm, just what we need, another ’scientific’ study proving that women are at each other’s throats. It could be read that many women don’t consider people they haven’t been in touch with as friends any more whereas men do, or in the case of the roommates, that many women are more analytical and less likely to give a high score about anything – including their views of themselves, for which I’m sure there would be a similar result. It’s a small statistic from a small sample, written up with the intent to prove a common myth, worthy only of publication in the Daily Mail to my mind.”

On a completely unrelated note, did you take offense to the statistics?

You’re competely right about it being a very small sample by the way.

Is it just me who thinks there is a big difference between friends and roommates.
