You make a number of assumptions in this post that you cannot possibly substantiate and you seem to make those assumptions simply because Ashley's is physically attractive.

You say Ash had no time for the women yet she gave Helen beauty and make up tips, showed genuine interest in Rosemary's 20 year drought and was supportive to Charlie regarding not seeing Kiki.

Ash's fellow Doll Kimberly Wyatt, stated on NOW that Ashley was one of the more girly Dolls so how do you come to your sweeping conclusions?

Again silly...nothing to do with her looks. Helen and Charlie are just as attractive. I have been observing these people for three weeks and there is no doubt in my mind that Ashley prefers the company of men. I never said that she ignored the women completely, of course she had to speak to them occasionally and I never said that there was anything wrong with it.
Her best friend was Hugo, she loved being with David, and when they both left she made the best of being left with Charlie, but she lost her spark.

Dont be so daft , its not a fact at all .Its your opinion nothing more

More amazing assumptions.

BTW Helen is no where near as attractive as Ashley. Not physically or personality wise.

From what I saw the conclusion I came to was - Her best friend was Hugo because they started out at Snake Rock together and Hugo was the only person in the group who was roughly her age. But if you say its because she prefers men and only tolerates women because she has to then who am I to argue?

Going by her instagram pictures most of her friends are women.

All the other PCD's seem to adore her.

But no we've been told as fact :- 'without a man around her she doesn't know how to act' and 'she defines herself completely by the effect she has on men'

Absolutely ridiculous. She and Charlie seemed very fond of each other, she also seemed to have a bit of a girlie relationship with Helen and got on like a house on fire with Rosemary most of the time. Hugo was probably her best mate there, but just because he's a bloke, doesn't mean anything. She and Charlie seemed to be very good friends.

I'd say you're seeing things that just aren't there. So she's a pretty girl who looks good. Doesn't mean she's only happy around men etc. Charlie probably spoke about sex etc just as much as Ashley did - and she's got a young daughter who was watching!

Ashley seems too attractive and bright to need, to flirt with men as if her life depended on it. As a woman I've noticed through life that women who feel secure about themselves ie their looks and / or their personalities ..it doesn't matter which, tend to not, be the desperate attention seekers. They're popular with men -and with women too, as friends.

Maybe Ashley appeared to spend more time with Hugo and David because they were all of a similar age. I know Charlie is also a similar age but all she ever talked about was Kiki so that would have gotten tiresome.

Also, their thought processes were faster. They picked up more quickly on communicating and humour. I think that Ashley had more in common with them on a mental level. They were also more physically confident and had more energy. So Ashley had more in common with them in that way too.

Really? From the start? Based on her EastEnders persona or the way she supped that drink under the tent on the beach? I must admit I didn't form an opinion of any of them from at least day 3.

Her best mate is a bloke.

Well it was a bloke who was out there supporting her.

What world do you live in? Women can have male and female friends. The poster implied she only hangs out with men. Which is untrue. Give it a rest.

I'll say what I like. I'm fed up with this forum putting Charlie down and as soon as you make a comment about Ashley you get told to 'give it a rest'

I stated that her best friend was a man, there is nothing wrong with having men friends.

So you are putting Ashley down for that reason?

I am not putting her down, I spoke the truth, her best friend who was supporting her was a man. That's not putting her down, it's a fact.

So that makes her a woman hater? lol.

Did I say that?

bla bla bla bla , you are making statements when you have no evidence to back it up .One male friend is not proof of anything at all .
I think I will listen the facts spoken by people who know her and not by some random TV viewer who does not .

bla bla bla bla, it was said everywhere that he was her best friend, people on here posted links of his twitter etc. It's what suits with Ashley fans.

So what ? So that means she has no time for women .You are looking so silly now .Give it a rest .,

I have not said this, you are making it up, it is you who look silly. I only said that her best friend was a man. You have completely changed what I said to suit your own ends.

That's a bit of a stretch from what I said. She likes hanging out with the boys, that's not a critisism, she just likes their company. There's nothing wrong with liking male company or having a bit of flirt. She is a single lady and can do what she wants.
When she went in one of her female friends said that she would have the men falling at her feet and she wasn't wrong.

It really isn't a big deal.
