I think we gravitate towards people who we have something in common like background, hobbies, relationships, work, babies etc
I don't think that I would specifically look for a businesswoman, young mother, older lady plus gothic chick to make friends with.

I think that it isn't the aspect of needing to have those kind of friendships, but it could be the aspect of the kind of friendships the author has.

I think yes, that was the goal, it is nice to have a varied support system so that different friends can fulfil different emotional needs, likewise, you also do the same.

I don't think people go out looking for specific types of friends; or at least, I wouldn't. Friendships just happen, whether or not they last depends on whether or not there's a connection, and how strong the connection is.

This is same for me. I don't keep much friends. coupled with betrayals and disappointments i have had from friends, I am matured enough to know the kind of people i want around me.

I think this question is by choices because some people love making group of friends while some don't.

Truly every woman should have diversified friendships. It makes the friendship interesting and allows them to bond more.

In general, women seek considerably more close friendships than males. I am fortunate to have friends who encourage me to pursue my goals. These are the requirements for my personality type. We can all learn a lot from one another by identifying individual strength

I don’t think it was a specific process of selection and denomination that lead to their friendship I just think that their friendship was great because the all had their differences but still had traits that they could all accept I would never choose a friend for the purpose of create a specific type of circle

I do not believe women should or should not have a specific type of friends because it depends on the context she finds herself. Ideally, friendship is a gift from God and we all need such gifts as support network to share our happy and sad moments. Some are fine without friends and love their solitude, as a result it will be subjective to hold on to the opinion that women should have specific types of friends.

Although none of them intentionally sought out buddies with particular qualities, I believe that fly fishing brought everyone together. Rose, Veronica, Amanda, and Melody are recognisable to me. I believe I am Sophie. In the hectic environment we live in today, friends are essential.

I barely associate with people but when I do I'm intentional about who I mingle with. If they are not the passionate types. I don't feel they are worth keeping.
