I have a couple of BFF and it's like being married, you love that person to death for all their good points and try to ignore the not so good.
One BFF is so financially stingy it is unbelievable. The other is THE biggest flirt ever, in the entire universe. Apart from those tiny drawbacks they are the most incredible, wonderful women I have ever met...I'm sure there's something about me they find less than pleasing as well but love excludes hate.
Hate is such a strong word. I can't muster the energy to hate anyone, let alone muster the energy to HANG AROUND with someone I hate.
It wouldn't surprise me if the rich and famous BFF secretly hate each other though, eg Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham...
My best friend is like my sister. She knows me inside and out. If it weren't for her, i don't know where i would be now. We've been friends since we were 13 and have seen each other thru the best and worst times in our lives. I love her w/all my heart and i'm so grateful to have her in my life.
I ask women this that I know and I was surprised that about half actually say they do or they don't really like most of their friends, they just hang around with them out of habit or fear of being ostracized. This was especially true in high school in college. So do you secretly hate your best friends/talk about them behind their back/have them talk about you behind your back? Any interesting stories about this? Was there a time when this was true of yourself?
So, is this how we are entertaining ourselves around the frat house today?
Grown-ups do not have time to hang out with people that they hate. We are too busy with real world issues and not caught up in who deleted whom from their Facebook page and similar nonsense.

Being a forum posting recluse as you are, you seem to have never met a woman if you think no one EVER secretly dislikes their frlends. There's so many overly defensive whiners on this thread, I sense I touched a BIG nerve.

Mature adults do not stay friends with people they can't stand. What's the point? Even in high school and college - my closest friends were my closest friends for a reason - I enjoyed their company. I might have some acquaintances that I would rather not associate with but it's easier to just be cordial than to ignore them. However, my best friends are people that I love, respect, trust, and genuinely enjoy being around. I can't imagine being surrounded by people that I hated. Like I said - what would be the point? I'm not sure why this is so hard for you to grasp.

Immaturity and an overall low class vibe generally acts as repellent for people. Surely, you are familiar.

I have friends that really do get on my nerves, but I guess I still consider it better than having no friends. I guess I could dump them and find new friends, but that would be a bit cold-hearted.
