5 Friends Every Woman Should Have

Know Your Posse!

Every woman should have an array of friends to match their personal friendship needs. Some women might need one friend that keeps a positive healthy outlook, another that is a travel buddy and possibly one that is good for those deep heart-to-heart conversations. It might be silly to fool yourself into thinking your sole gal pal can provide you with everything you need within a friendship. This is because, just like any relationship we have in life, a perfect package isn’t truly realistic and may add too much strain or pressure within the relationship.

Start by looking at your own personality and choose female friends that have those qualities. Here are 5 friends that every woman should have throughout her life to truly have satisfying positive relationships and the chance to keep reliable friends throughout life.

The Uplifter

This woman is your go-to-gal when you are having the blues. She shines positivity and always has a motivated approach and happy outlook on the world. The world truly is her oyster and life is a bowl of cherries. She can turn any frown upside down because she believes life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. She doesn’t allow life’s stresses to bring her down and she is there for you when times get truly rough and tough. Her life glass is full to the brim and overflowing.

The Travel Buddy

This is the female friend you turn to when you have the travel bug. You know she’ll be up for it and ready to go as soon as you mention a trip to Thailand or a backpacking excursion through Europe. She loves travel just as much as you do and adventure is her game. She is the one to call on for spontaneous cross country road trips with and explorations of ancient ruins in Mexico.

Gossip Gal

This woman is your girls-night-out friend. You can gossip with her about the celebs, talk ‘make up’ shop or just babble on about any girly topic possible. She is the friend you can truly let go with and have fun.

Old Wiser

This woman may be a little older than you, have more experience than you or may have a higher education. She is the intellect of your duo and you trust in what advice she offers. She can be your guide on matters of the heart or tell you what the healthiest way to lose weight is. She is a guru and a sponge of information.

Truth Teller

This is the woman who doesn’t hold back. She values honesty and can see both sides of a dilemma. She is the justice of the peace, your “Judge Judy” of friends, and you turn to her for the truth on matters at hand. She will also tell you when you have broccoli in your teeth or when you are wearing too much make up for that VIP cocktail party
