well if it's any consolation, I also think sometimes girl-girl friendships can be tricky, since we're not as open and honest to each other as guys are like if someone did something that upset the other one, she wouldn't tell her about it directly but hide her anger while smiling acting friendly to her friend. and later rant about what her friend did wrong to other friends. maybe I'm generalizing, I don't have personal examples of this... I like both girls and guys in their own way. Sometimes I prefer the guys' style of fun, since I was raised among boys and have no sisters. But I always have to be careful with single guys, because most of the time they misinterpret my friendlyness and become desperate for more than friendship... * by friendlyness I mean nothing more than just common "how are you? how's your studies?" >_<' I agree with your post I find that I have more close guy friends than girl friends because girls they seem to misinterpret jokes or are just abit paranoid sometimes.. like you would say something and sometimes they would read into it and think it means something else (like wtf?) I feel more relaxed around guys, but I do still have 4 very very close female friends but we've known each other since school days..so wow..thats like 13 years ago now? If one of my guy friends pissed me off, I would say it outright and tell him, but if it was one of my girl friends who pissed me off, for some reason i just cant be bothered in saying anything because it will just be a big massive argument

I feel more relaxed around guys Does this suggest an inherent insecurity when approaching relationships with other women?? Or am I misinterpreting your words!

Most girls complicate friendships by being too gossipy . Some of the ones that I work with cant go a day without telling me what so and so said or did. Guys for the most part dont talk about others unless its about a hookup or something. I've been told often that I have a man's personality in many aspects. I'm very insensitive, I'm sloppy, I don't gossip, I have a vulgar sense of humor, and you don't even want to know my thoughts on love and relationships. That being said, I am never the girl involved in drama and cat fights but rather the one that has to listen to it. I've found that a lot of girls, even ones I hardly know, will flock to me to complain about other women or cry about dudes. They see a quiet and chilled out female (which is rare, I guess) who doesn't gossip, so they automatically assume I want to hear about their problems. Let me tell you, I used to think all that crap was high school and that everyone matures beyond the gossip as they get older. But sadly, my mother works with 50 year old women who still sit around and talk about other women in the same fashion as high school girls would. I seriously can't believe I'm in college now with young women, soon to be entering the workforce, whose conversations never amount to anything beyond what bitch stole her boyfriend or which girl is a fat slut. This is why there will never be a woman in office. People always say men don't get jealous. No, they actually do. They just retain and conceal it better. Women can't keep that stuff on a leash.

I assume you mean US President. Do you want to take that to the bank? Hillary came pretty close last time. I think we'll get a woman as President in my lifetime, only she won't embody the stereotypical feminine traits - it will be someone more like Hillary, Condi Rice, Susan Rice, etc.

Yeah, she came in close but no cigar. That's as far as it'll probably get in a while.

According to www.friendshipstats.com I have 263 friends, 143 more than average. 28% are male, 72% are female. 68 are single, 107 are dating or married. If I contracted a deadly variant of flu, I would likely infect 11 people, 1 of whom would die. When I share something on Facebook, it is typically viewed by 21 people. If I died today, an estimated 432 people would try to attend my funeral. Based on my Facebook profile, I have a 91% probability of getting married. I am likely to earn US$2.7 million and have 2.3 children over my lifetime. I need more male friends for real.

I need more male friends for real. Maybe you're not offering the right benefits? I kid. I kid. No one should say that to a modern woman. But you should take advantage of the college atmosphere and diversify your friend portfolio. What you really need are some male Middle Eastern friends.

It's not like they're following her around and "psssst!"ing at her, right? ;D
