Why do females (all ages) fall out with their female friends so often?

I have 2 best friends and they've been my freinds for about 10 years, I wouldn't be without either of them and i'd never argue with them, i love them like they are my sisters! Happy new year xx

Hi; I'm no relationship expert, but I'll try my best to answer your question. From the sounds of it, you're close to your female friend. Right now, she's in relationship - at the moment, it's best not to interfere. However, with the way her relationship with him seems to be going, it's pretty much guaranteed it's not going to last. With this in mind, when it's over, your friend will remember how you are always there with her, at which time it would be appropriate to let her know how you feel about her. After the grieving process of her previous relationship has passed, of course. In the mean time, continue to be there for her and listen when she needs someone to talk to. Use this time now to continue to strengthen your bond with her - if you two end up together, it likely to be a secure and satisfying connection, with lots of pre-established trust to reinforce it.

Nothing like a sweeping generalisation is there?

I have never fallen out with a female friend. I've lost touch with some though.

females get mad and stop talking to their friends the whole cold war thing; males on the other hand get mad the argument gets heated and 5sec later they are buddy buddy with the person

I've never had any close female friends from childhood to now. When I was in primary school I went to a pretty small country school when we got new girls in our class I would be friends with them but they would leave a few weeks later because of the bullying. The girls that were already there didn't like them and they didn't like me because I was friends with them. I eventually changed schools and made a few new friends but by the end of primary school they had moved away too. One friend I had by the end of grade 7 until we went to high school and she found better friends. Then the friends I made in high school stayed that way until after high school when I told them that I was a lesbian they weren't my friends anymore so I guess they weren't really my friends afterall.

Technically it wasn't me who fell out with my female friends. More outside factors and the friends that fell out with me.

i have never fallen out with a friend. i choose my friends wisely and although there have been some tough times we have always managed to work through things and move forward. i have had my best friend for 25 years despite the fact we're both strong and sometimes difficult personalities.

it's all down to maturity.

That is such a good question. I have talked to my hubby bout this.. b/c he has the same friends as forever and they all r always ok with each other, buttttt my friends and I r always up and down like a yo yo friendship. I think it is where men arent to touchy about things and just let everything go ... as where females are a lil more sensitive and think well if she was my true frinend she would never do that, or say that. When really we should just go on about life and stop getting sooo overworked over lil things that really dont matter =)

I've noticed that too.

I guess it must be due to female hormones and personality conflicts.

because girls are touchy and get het up about things that dont really matter. I knwo my friends fall out all the time. We are too bitchy as well.

I know i'm generalising here, but most girls I know are like that. I'm too laid back which irritates my friends aswell because they think I dont care if we fall out. Its so fickle!
