As I grow older, I think friendship between women is a thing to cherish.

Men and women can absolutely be friends, and that's what we need to be. Part of the problem is that we aren't friends enough. Our relationships are negotiations, and that is not friendship.

I think that women definitely have a special bond as friends that is hard to describe to men, and we don't often see that portrayed narratively.

If you feel like it's hard to be friends with women, consider that maybe women aren't the problem. Maybe it's just you.

I think one of the basic reasons men make good friends is that they can make up their minds quickly.

I probably have more female friends than any man I've ever met. What I like about them is that almost always they're generally mentally tougher, and they're better listeners, and they're more capable of surviving things.

Common perceptions of female friendships are morning coffees discussing children, bags, periods and agreeing about the misdemeanours of men... mild, soft, nurturing relationships.

Lots of male friendships begin as a cheeky snog. Or a little undercurrent of flirtation.

I'm not exactly a guy who makes new friends easily.

I have some women friends but I prefer men. Don't trust women. There is a built-in competition between women.
