[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's tough, OP.  Because a lot of women steer clear of women who seem not to have other female friends.  It's a red flag.

If you want to be friends with women, you need to learn to trust women.  You have to be willing to share personal information.  Are you able to do that?[/quote]

Why must you share personal information? Why can't you just keep it light?[/quote]

I agree.  Too many women are catty, malicious, competitive, and they will sell you downstream for nothing to gain except the satisfaction of making trouble for you.  I think it's important to keep it light until you get a good reading on a woman.  As an example, I became friends with another mom.  She was one of those people with dozens of women friends.  I am quiet without a huge number of friends, although I have lifelong friends who don't live in the area.  I am a good person.  We bonded over our kids, did a lot of things together, often brought other moms into the mix, and did a lot of fun activities and had a lot of personal conversations.  Come to learn about a year into the friendship that she was deliberately sabotaging other budding friendships I was developing.  Someone I was becoming friends with, a single childless woman, came to me and let me know this "friend" had just told her a story about me.  I knew she wasn't lying because this woman was very high caliber (she was a minister), and because it explained some things.  I'm pretty sure the "friend" has BPD, but the point is, it was well hidden behind a bubbly, fun personality and a lot of charm.
