Girls are more sensitive to each other's emotions, changes in body language, tone of voice and other subtle things men dont usually pick up on. Then, some of them hold grudges.
Plus, if we like the same things, jealousy and competitiveness can happen. Either, you got more attention than me. I wanted that skirt but it only comes in your size.
Girls tend to like to talk, and guys tend to like to do things. So when I chill with my girls it usually involves going somewhere to talk, the mall, out to eat, chilling at their crib and talking about them and gossiping about other people we know, celebrities or people in their lives.
If Im chilling with a platonic dude, we end up getting stuff done. If we go to the mall, its because we're getting something we need, go to the basketball court or to an event or if we talk its not usually about people we know, its about solving issues, about sports, ideas or youtube vids and movies. If we go out to a party, he's usually trying to get someone's number.
All in all, I like female friends because we can talk about female things and I dont have to worry about them trynna get in my pants.
