A University of Michigan study confirms what we ladies have long known-- dishing with your girlfriends is good for our health.
Researchers say feeling emotionally close to a friend raises progesterone levels. The hormone helps reduce anxiety and stress. When a woman vents, she eventually gets it out of her system and feels better. A girlfriend knows to just sit there and listen. When you're venting to a GUY, he wants to just cut through all of our babbling and fix the problem. This is why we girls can yak on the phone for hours. This is why we go to the bathroom together-- GIRL TALK!
It's kind of like our obsession with shoes and purses.
