[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never noticed it until recently at my work. The women I at work with brothers can be more "matter of fact" and "tell it like it is" -- i.e. they'll say what they need to say without a whole cute story. The women with sisters tend to have more "drama" and cute stories to go with everything. I mean that in a really good way -- they come across really kind and friendly because they don't just say "it's raining," they say "I went outside, I had no umbrella, I can't believe I'm all wet etc."  Of course if it was true drama or neediness or whatever, it wouldn't be cool but I have not found that to be related to having brothers v. sisters.[/quote]

My mom and sister and I are so the cute story type, it drives my husband's all boy (beside his mom) family crazy.

I also notice that I tend to collect needy friends that are my baby sister's age. I think I am such an alpha big sister that I tend to end up with a lot of baby sister type friends that want guidance. [/quote]

So true -- I'm the younger sister in my family and the women I'm closest to are those that are 4-5 yrs older than me -- my sister's age. I feel like I listen to their cute stories and in return, they provide me all sorts of guidance -- though they don't realize that they are also providing me entertainment with their stories usually.[/quote]

Huh. This is interesting. I have one sister, 3yrs younger than me (and a younger brother too) and I gravitate towards women my own age or 2-5yrs older. Always have. But then, I skipped a grade in elementary, so my classmates were always older than me. Most of my friends now are 2-3yrs older than me.

And in my tight circle of 4 friends . . . there's me, one woman with a much younger sister (12yr age difference) and close-in-age brother, an only child and a woman with 3 sisters all close in age. We're all super close and lived together in various combinations in college and afterwards. We're all different, but it's more personality and overall family dynamic thing than only child vs. sisters vs. brothers thing.[/quote]
