The fascination with our female friends -- Those we tolerate : romanticizing our friends. The leader : ruling the pack ; The doormat : high school onward ; The sacrificer : blind spots ; The misery lover : down and out -- Those we ditch : trial by fire. The user : self-serving friends ; Intimate frenemies : idolspizing ; The trophy friend : conquest in motion -- Those we keep : the evolution of the female friend. The mirroring friend : circumstantial bonds ; The sharer: a BF in the making ; The authentic friend : the real deal -- Spinning friends for a lifetime.
