Are women from another planet? What could they possibly talk about all day? As women ourselves, we already know what we love talking about with our friends (pets and movies feature heavily), but we wanted to get a few more opinions in.

We asked 20 women to tell us what the last conversation they had with their closest female friends were and here is what they told us.

We talked about work, I needed somewhere to vent about my colleagues. My best friend and I sent each other cat videos and funny pics for an hour. My friend asked me to go like her instagram photos because they didn’t have enough likes. My friend’s dog was sick and she was upset so we chatted for a while to calm her down. My friend was worried that it’s our time to settle down and she thinks her boyfriend might propose. She doesn’t know what she wants to say if he does. We were making plans for our summer holiday. I just wanted to check my photo was ok to upload as a profile pic. I met a guy on Tinder and I had to show her his texts to see what she thinks. We made plans to meet up during the week. I needed my friend’s financial advice because she’s great with saving and investing money. My friend has a job interview tomorrow and we were having a practice run over the phone. We just talked about our day, what we did, what we had for dinner, the basics. I am trying to organise a charity run in my town and I wanted to get my friend to join in. My friend just launched her new business and we were discussing the launch party. I just finished watching 13 Reasons Why and I wanted to make sure that if my friend was ever having mental health problems she’d talk to me about them. I have two young boys and they’re a handful, so I wanted to complain about them without being judged. We were talking about politics. We don’t always agree but we have good debates. I gave my friend detailed recommendations for Paris, because I’ve been there before and she’ll be going there alone for the weekend. We send links to each other when we see something the other might like. In this case it was a fancy coffee machine she wants that I found discounted on amazon. I was having a bad day and just needed a chat.

So you see, there’s nothing strange here. Women talk about anything and everything, ask for advice, share good times and are there for each other when they need to be.

And we here on Shello want to make sure that every woman can go on our app and find women to chat to. Building your network of friends, having people whose opinions you can trust and knowing that you are never alone is very important to us. And this is what we’ve set our app to be. A place for women to find women and build a trusted community.
