>>45204048Last night, I was thinking about this. I think the two main differences between female/female friendships and male/male friendships are this.
Girls are more touchy with their female friends. They often hug each other, hold hands, do each other's hair and nails, etc. Society doesn't view this platonic skinship among women as wrong. On the other hand, guys don't do that much skinship stuff like hugging their male friends. Or else society will view them as homosexuals.
Girls are more emotional in conversations with their female friends. They're allowed to express pitiful emotions like crying or fear. Guys tend to bottle up their emotions when speaking with their male friends. A man crying in front of his male friends will be seen as a weak pussy.
So Gloria and Serena can hold hands and still be seen as "best friends" in society's eyes. It only crosses in yuri territory if they start blushing or do unmistakably lesbo things like kissing.
