[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't need to force yourself into friendships. Too many women will sell you on out in a heartbeat once you're out of earshot. I've had this happen to me many times, and I finally got the message.

You're smart to control your own narrative and to be highly selective in your friendships, OP. There is nothing wrong with being a skeptic about human behavior. Embrace it, because you are probably right! I'd rather have one good friend than 500 people who are superficial friends. Don't sell yourself out for fake friendships.[/quote]

+1  I don't think it's biology.  It's how women are socialized because I've noticed men who hang out with cliques of women tend to be the same way (catty, gossipy, backstabbing).

I am most wary of cliques of women.  That's when you really have to watch your back.  They'll be super sweet to your face, but beware.

The older I get, the less energy I have to really put into trying to be liked/accepted by certain types of women.  I do have a couple close female friends, but they are mostly loner types.  One works in a male-dominated field (think military) and is solid as a rock.  I cherish female friends like that.  Not only do they make for good friends, but I think I'm a better person around them.

I loathe the cliques.  There's pretty much always mean girl behavior.

It's hard to find good female friends.  But look for the women who don't travel in packs.  [/quote]
