Every women that I have tried to have a friendship with it always turned into competition, fatal attraction, fake, gossip or jealousy. Do you have any words on this. Please lets discuss. I am in my late 30's

I know what you mean. I have very few friends for that reason. I am 40 next year and have 1 friend I have know for about 15 years and the other I have known for about 3 and met through reiki. Im not sure if women are taught to be competitive etc or whether they are just prone to it. I am educated, slim and sporty and often feel I am the vicim of other womens insecurities. I don't expect to be liked by many anymore, I've never been one of the gang and in a lot of ways I don't want to be!

Sometimes I wonder if it's how we were raised or how are family life was or what generation that we're from. Even what city we live in!
I lived in Long Beach, CA and I'm from Washington State. The atmosphere and the people there were crazy!! At least the ones that I met. Every woman and man were out to use each other and how much money you had or made was a big thing. People were running around like mad and I was used to everything being laid back. Us girls/women are just kinda weird sometimes :P

Why are women so catty? I suppose that is the nature of an un-regenerated; often un-loved, woman; that, akin to the first, un-loved woman (Eve, Adam's wife). Adam didn't show enough love to Eve to say 'no' to her. He didn't make sure she knew what was right from wrong. But rather, he went along with her folly; un-educated, unholy idea or suggestion.
I have learned, true friends, especially female friends are not bountiful. People; especially women, often become competitive, jealous, gossipy, etc., because they are not comfortable in their own skin. They are not sure of themselves. They often have never taken a moment to get in tune with themselves. And what is worse, they often have never had a man much more different than Adam, the first man.
But when I look at it, I feel blessed as a woman. I was once blessed with a wonderful husband; one that took time to help me to realize things. I have been blessed with 4 lifetime, female friends. These friends are pretty much, always there for me. We truly look out for each other.
But I understand your question. As you seemed to have realized, some women and their actions can be plum scary, and witchery.
Perhaps, as you grow older, you will be better able to be more selective when choosing female friends. Some female friends may only deserve cordiality, and prayer.

I hear you. Education at an all girls school definitely teaches you that.
I lost my best friend from uni through this same set of circumstances - we were close as sisters but she ended up wanting to live my life for me, I tried to distance myself a little but she didn't see it that way. I miss her a little still, ten years on.
I've learned that there are just a few who will stay with you and that the Sex and the City gang is not the sort of female friendships that I'm going to have. I'd hoped that meeting new frineds via baby groups etc would bring me new close friends - but already I've seen competition entering the relationships between each other, and it's pointless!
My good female friends are not all friends with each other - we live in different cities even different countries - but bringing them together for my hen night worked brilliantly. And my best friend? My husband, obviously. But in terms of female friends it's those with whom I can pray that are the closest.
