10 types of friend every girl has in her life
For better or worse, we love them all…
For better or worse, we love them all…
In partnership with Second Act
You and you mates might be like chalk and cheese, but that’s the beauty of it - from the one who’s always late, to the Crossfit obsessive, there’s room for everyone. Here are ten types of pal you’ll definitely be familiar with.
The TMI one
Five minutes after your first meeting you knew her favourite sex position, how heavy her periods are, plus her full relationship history. ‘Over-sharing’ is just not in her vocab.
The walking disaster
The only person you know to have missed a flight ‘cos she went to the wrong airport/fallen down an escalator/vomited in her date’s lap. She’s on first name terms with everyone at her local A&E.
The one who always knows what to say
Bad break-up? Didn’t get the job? Dream dress out of stock in your size? She’s the one you always turn to for comfort and advice.
The gossip
She’s the first to know who’s sleeping with who, and loves to share her intel. You pretend to be above it all but secretly love the juicy deets

The one who's always first on the dance floor
You need a few drinks to oil you up but she’s straight on the dance floor. Even when it’s empty. At 5pm.
The fitness freak
She drinks mocktails, never misses a gym sesh, and is always training for something or other. It’s baffling.
The one who looks good in everything
She’s got a figure to die for and could make a supermarket uniform look stylish, but you don’t resent her ‘cos you love her.
The one who never listens
You’ll have a super long conversation with her about something, but the next time you bring it up? She won’t remember a thing. Infuriating.
The one who ALWAYS needs to borrow money
We all know the one. She spends her wages as soon as she gets them and conveniently ‘forgets’ her purse when you go out to dinner. *eye roll*
The sassy one
Challenge her to anything and she’ll accept. She’s got guts and she doesn’t go down without a fight. We should all be more like her. Period.
