[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am more comfortable with men. Why? I don't like to spend time talking about trivial things. Things like that bond women and I'm more interested in talking about work, world affairs, financial topics, football...

I do  have a handful of girlfriends, but we talk about  the 2016 election while getting pedis.[/quote]

OP I know this is not you but in the event you also feel like this - it may be part of the problem.

I have girlfriends and we are all (ahem :)) very intelligent, articulate and experts in our fields - finance, investment banking, start ups, tech. law and a few SAHMs as well.

We are interested in and talk about work world affairs etc.

But with i really close friends i can segue into personal issues, celeb trivia, emotional stuff etc.

I find the combination really satisfying and what sustains these friendships.

If I met someone like you who was relatively one diemensional (from my perspective) while, i would be interested in your views, I wouldnt be close friends. Same with women who are only interested in the "trivia".

You have to know someone fairly well to segue into the personal. And women who are completely consumed with their households and families just have nothing to say.  I have a hard time dealing with women who are more attractive and thin than the average, and who are also introverts - so many women pursue those types for their "social capital," but I have a really hard time engaging with them beyond the surface stuff because they are not used to putting forth any effort.[/quote]
