someone up thread posted a Reddit subreddit about being a cool girl or something like that |
Based on this post, I imagine you have ample opportunity to learn to enjoy alone time. Also, "alone time with themselves" is redundant. |
She's a jeans and t shirt kinda girl. Shelooks great with her hair in a ponytail or sloppy bun and of course she doesn't bother with make up! |
IT'S FROM 'GONE GIRL,' PEOPLE. Cool girl. Google it. YouTube it. Read the book. |
Right, OK. WE GET IT. If being a fake "cool girl" doesn't apply to you, wonderful. But we are talking about the OP: the kind of woman who likes to tear down other women so she, alone, can emerge as That Girl You Wish You Were With, that rare breed of logical, non-crazy femininity. You can reason with her AND she has a magic snatch? Amazing. |

Oh lord, there's nothing like hearing this from a woman in person as if somehow you're not supposed to be offended that you're being lumped in with "women" as a class. Jeez, I try to take people on a person by person basis when it comes to friendship but if you're gonna reject me before you even know me, well, there's no sense wasting my time with you.

| OP here. I actually enjoy stereotypical female activities....mani pedi, massage,etc. I just don't like all the other stuff that in my experience tends to come with doing that stuff in female groups...gossiping about the women in the group that didn't show up, group texts following the event that go on and on talking about nothing. When I observe my husbands friendships there is no gossip, no expectation for constant emotional hand holding. He hangs out with his friends, they don't say negative things about each other, and in between outings they understand that each of them is busy. They connect when they can and everyone is happy. |
Based on your accurate descriptions so far I’m not “cool” enough. You are though. Crazy cool! |

I actually don’t agree with your original post blanket statements on all women but for many this is true. |
And you felt the need to essentially gossip about all women and draw attention to yourself exactly...why? I thought you were so above all that? |
This is the subreddit I mentioned |
Uh, OP, the problem is you. You're picking the wrong people to be friends with. I just don't hang out with people like that. Why do you? I'm serious about this. You're blaming women when the problem is with your choices - like the women who complain about not being able to find a good guy but who don't examine why they're consistently attracted to men who are bad for them. (Been there. Done that. Got therapy for it.) You need to look at why you keep trying to be friends with people who do this. For the record, I'm a pretty butch cisgendered heterosexual woman and I don't like stereotypical female activities. But I don't think those preferences have anything to do with whether one gossips about their friendship circle. I think being a grown up has everything to do with it. You need to look at your own involvement in this. |
+1 Oh yes, absolutely. |
This is a crappy sub that exists to tear women down. If you support this then you are no better than OP. |
