I agree to a point. If the chat between women friends if postive and not negative then I agree. Lets say I am having a bad day I call my friend up to chat. I may sound off because I am not real happy, same token a good listening ear is healty, if she brings your mate or etc., down saying I would not live that way and such, then I would think the chat negative. A GOOD friend would hear you out, hold your hand hug you when you weap.. am I making sense?
