• Women, generally speaking, get to know one another by sharing their feelings and thoughts.
• Men share activities initially to develop relationships and may share words later on.
• Women share their words to develop relationships from the start.
• Can men and women become Best Friends? Not without a great deal of give & take on both parts.
