[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't put it as strongly as you have, but I hear you. I have had (and do have) close women friends in my life, but I find it much easier to be friends with men. I was raised in a family of boys (cousins, too), and I find them much easier to be around. When I was in college, I was the one girl that was invited to the boys' poker night. It worked out for me, because I went into an industry that was dominated by men, and it didn't bother me to be the only woman in the room. FWIW, in my career, I have been known for promoting and mentoring women. I like women; I just find many women exhausting when it comes to personal relationships. [/quote] I too find friendships with men easier, or should I say interactions. As a married woman I try not to develop any deep friendships with men because they too easily transition into more than friendships... btdt. But I too chose a male dominated field and often I am the only female in a room of 20. Anyhow, I do have close female friends, but they are hard to find.[/quote] OP here. Yes, this is the issue I face. I am a tomboy at heart, and always gravitated more towards males for friendship growing up. Now that I'm an adult and married that dynamic is complicated because of the reason you mentioned. I have a female friend, but find it hard to have several female friends. PP used the word exhausting, and I think that accurately sums up how I feel about a lot of female interactions. I just could run across more ladies who are more light hearted and less demanding.[/quote] Prepare to get blasted, OP. I have always gravitated towards Male friends. Female friends have hurt me more than boyfriends ever have- through total mean girl crap. When you try to write this on DCUM you get slammed and they say you can't be trusted and there is something wrong with you. (I was too nice I see that now and was a pawn/doormat for power plays.) Basically they try to say that women are nice and easy to get along with by being totally mean and hateful. Good times. I am pretty lonley honestly because I have some close female friends but not a lot. And I cant hang out with the guys because the wives get twitchy. It sucks.[/quote]
