Why Must We Be Friends?

Hello dear passerby. Thank you for coming to my blog page to read the workings of my mind. I didn't post last week because I had not one single idea on what to write about, here are a few random things that crossed my mind to write on:

'How to kill your neighbours pet'  I hurriedly decided against this because I knew it was hugely influenced by my binge watching of criminal minds and the fact that I have a tricky relationship with animals.

'How to catch a serial killer', lmao! this was also a criminal minds induced hallucination, now I kind of think of myself as a profiler ( I wish).

'How to train your child' this is so funny because I have absolutely no idea and I know this is not where you should come for this kind of advice.

 How not to spend your first million (I will actually write on this soon) and many other seriously laughable topics were involved but I finally got to write about how we can't all possibly be friends, it's impossible if we barely like each other. Here is  why;

Rita is dating Fred and they have been together for about 3 years. Rita has her friends and so does Fred now all Fred's bros have girl friends and the boys kind of expect that because they are tight like bros then all their babes will be sisters. 

Men you have to stop it. Stop it right now. This is usually also most expected from wives. Stop it, because two have become one does not mean that you have automatically obliterated your partners personality. Making friends for women is twice as hard because this is different how it goes down for girls and boys; girl meets boy they both like each other's personalities or have what to talk about, no prancing or comparison so they become friends before you know it you hear the girl talking about a new boy she met who is her bff.

Now on the other hand, a girl meets another girl, unless it's for work or its your sisters friends it is very unlikely that she will just come out of her shell for the other girl. They sit and use side eye to evaluate each other. Why does she laugh so loud? What's up with  her poking her cleavage in my husband's face? Why is she holding her boyfriend like that? Does she think I want to steal him? Why is she trying so hard with that her fake purse? and other self-serving dark thoughts. It is three times harder when there is already a pre-existing girl clique and a new girl shows up and woe betide the poor girl or woman if they already knew her gist and were talking about her before, for instance, is that his wife? Thank God the kids took after their father, na wa o, opposites really attract? of course they are exceptions to this rule where girls meet new girls hit it off and turn to die hard best friends but these are few. It usually takes months and most times years of attitude and real beef for women to be real friends.

There are people we call our friends but who are really there so that they can feel better about themselves and you use them for the exact same purpose. Some are there to leech off you and others for you to leech off of. So now we are not going to be holding hands with your best friends girlfriends and sing kumbaya just because you think we should hit it off with her maybe because you hit it off with her and therefore we should too. Sometimes you don't like your friends wife's or girlfriends so what makes you think that we should like them. Sigh.

That being said I love everyone, I love all my friends' friends and they love me lmao! No they don't, I am not someone who necessity inspires love in people at first. To love me is to know me and once you do, you will forever. I am a friend catcher(that's my story and I am sticking to it. 

So guys, Just give us time, don't say things like "babe I think you should go to my friend Ayo's house and learn how to make so and so food from his wife" in front of said wife unless it is your intention to die from food poisoning or something more severe, like a knife to your jugular. 

Friendship is earned let's all stop expecting magic and my number one tip for making and keeping good friends is trying to be a good one yourself. If you don't put yourself out for others no one will be inclined  to do the same for you. So that is why we aren't all meant to be friends because it means much more than sharing drinks and laughing in good times.
