Girl’s friendships...？

    Recently, I watched an animation called BLACK★ROCK SHOOTER. It is an animation about friendship between girls. There is a plot that one girl get very depressed when she afraid that the best friend of her best friend may not be her. She can feel hurt every time when her best friend has community activity so that they cannot go home together because she always thinks her friend just prefer to be with another girl. In the net of such kinds of complex friendship, it is full of envy and hatred. Of course such a story should be dramatized but at another angle, I do not think friendship between boys can be like that even it is double dramatized.

    Actually, I have noticed there are big differences between the two kinds of friendship long before but I just cannot tell what it really is. What I know is that girls are always very close to their friends and they regard keeping together (especially going to washroom together) as an essential part of friendship. But anyhow, those things are no more than external appearance which is seen in the side of a boy. I still feel curious about the differences internal.

    Occasionally, when I am wondering the differences between boy’s friendship and Girl’s friendship, one of my high school classmates (she is a girl) publish a post about the similar question. In her post, she mentioned that girls are more possessive towards friendship.
    In fact, the possessive is a good explanation. In another words, it seems that the friendship between girls is more close the definition of love. Does this difference exist by nature or depend on the different way of life between the two genders? That is really an interesting question but I think it is hard to answer. Maybe the Chinese traditional culture should be one of the factors.
