The longest friendship I've had, later became a roommate and then the friendship ended bitterly. This lady has literally turned her back on me, has had nothing to do with me in six years, and shows no desire to reconcile.
I am most definitely heterosexual (married). I am not bi, bi-curious or anything like that. Most straight women refer to their same-sex friends as their "girlfriends" so I follow suit.
But even in the span of my life I have not had that many close female friends. And the ones I did have over the years, drifted away at some point.
I know that some of it is that I have high standards. A lot of women of my generation do not share my core values (Meaning that they are promiscuous, dishonest, catty, jealous, too competitive, etc.) They are just too much like what you discuss on this board. I just feel like I deserve better. However, the alternative, having no friends, is not that much fun.
The only woman close to my age that I have much to do with is my husband's 37-year old cousin. She seems to have a heart of gold, and may have a developmental disability. She's unemployed too so we just hit it off talking about the bad job market

But all in all, I really lack for some buddy bonding. I hardly have any kind of a social life whatsoever. Is some good-old fashioned friendship too much to ask for? What's a non-feminist girl to do?
