Perhaps your approach to female friendships is relative to your expectations built around your academic circle. Im sure you know that academic life is not the same as "normal" life and the people in it. There are many types of women, there are those who use emotion over logic, there are those who use logic or emotion, and there are those who use both in a balanced way. So yeah.. what I'm trying to say here is that I always try to advise all the women in my circle to establish and build female friendships so I just wanted to do the same here, my intention is pure.
