Female friendships have great sway and impact. If we really, truly love you, we would stop at nothing to ensure your well-being. There's nothing like the genuine love between two friends who truly care about each other.

Having said that, in the post below, a Redditor raises a key question that we have all been thinking about but have never dared to ask: 'What's a sign or trait that makes you want to be friends with another woman'. As I perused the post, I came across a lot of heartwarming, insightful, and well-thought-out replies, ranging from having a sense of humor to possessing the ability to listen and love beyond bounds.

So, if you're a girl's girl and happen to have time to spare, be sure to read the thoughtful answers below! Additionally, after perusing the post, don't forget to read the story about the grandparents who pierced their granddaughter's ears against the advice of their daughter!

    kopila92 14 hr. ago She's empathetic, validating, a good listener, our fundamental values align, and she doesn't feel a sense of unhealthy competitiveness towards other women. I have seen far too many women self-sabotage due to their hyper competitive nature towards other women. It's truly devastating.

    Salt_Cabinet7001 · 13 hr. ago I only get along with women who don't feel the need to compete with other women just because. It's not a competition, it's a friendship. We should be in it together, not fighting one another. My last female friend I made actually came up to me to tell me that I seem really cool, and she

    liked that I'm laid back and don't worry about other peoples opinions. I told her that I'm not competing for anything, just doing my thing, and we clicked right then and there.

    Spirited-Mission-273 · 12 hr. ago My bestie is someone I've only known for 2.5 years, but my gosh is she the piece of my life I never knew was missing. She's the complete opposite to me, I'm quirky and colourful, she's dark and not so quirky, we bring out the best in each others dark days. She's the moon to

    my sun. We both have 3 kids, hers are boys, mine girls, and we just have the best friendship. Right now we're both going through some life changes so we haven't been able to be in contact as much, but neither of us holds it against the other.

    funhappyvibes OP 2 hr. ago You know, I just remembered times when I met women that would just immediately tell me about an event in their life upon meeting me, as if I was already a long-time friend...really refreshing! Great green flag.

    Mentathiel 12 hr. ago • 1 - Knows how to listen and reflect back at me how I feel. Makes me feel heard and understood. Often by repeating back at me what I've said, but rephrasing it. Like "omg, I know the feel, like when they do XYZ" where XYZ is a great example of the thing I was complaining about. Just

    being able to validate my feelings like that is soooo good. Ofc if I'm she shouldn't being an validate me, but just knowing how to do it when it's appropriate is a great skill. - 2 Being fun. Being able to lead a conversation, tell mundane life stories in a funny way, banter back and forth. Mostly just having a lot of content, meaning she likely has

    hobbies, rich inner life, and a rich social life, so she always has things to talk about, whether it's ideas from the book she's read or debate she's watched, video game strategies, random work drama, finding parts for retro consoles she's fixing, new recipes she's tried, her dog's escapades whatever. Just a lot of content to make conversations fun.

    3 - Intelligence. This one is not necessary, nor is it enough by itself, but it's a huge boost to the first two. I will never feel fully seen by friends who can't imagine my mental processes, nor will they provide as stimulating of a conversation. They can still be great, but I do appreciate it when we're about equal on that.

    4- Good with boundaries. I am a pretty accommodating person, but I prefer people who don't take too much of an advantage of that. If somebody is really pushy, I will usually give them a few chances, but if they can't respect me, I'll nope tf out.

    Good_Presentation529 · 13 hr. ago When she is confident and has extroverted vibe. As an extrovert myself, it's easy for me to talk to people but when I see that their energy doesn't match mine I take a step back. I always love it when I find a fellow yapper who is a "girls girl".
