[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the PP and wanted to add that girls don't want to be just friends in HS, the ones who are interested in boys want boyfriends. They can get pretty aggressive about it as one doesn't have to do it in person any more, but through messages and snapchat. [/quote]

This is insane.  Plenty of girls are friends with boys in HS and not pursuing them aggressively.  Yes, I have high school age kids.[/quote]

Well, this has not been our experience. The girls who want to hang out IN PERSON alone are going for a boyfriend. Otherwise obviously boys see girls at school, clubs or other activities and talk to each other in passing, however, they're certainly not friends in the sense he is with his buddies and hang out after school.

oh #boymom what are you going to do when your last son goes off to college and your husband leaves you?[/quote]

Haha. You think my husband will leave me because your daughter is throwing herself at my son? [/quote]

Your husband is already bagging someone else.[/quote]

He’s bagging PP’s daughter who already threw herself at him while his wife was writing her post.[/quote]

True that, haha. I'm not generalizing. The OP asked why his HS-aged son doesn't seem to have female friends and I replied. It's normal not to have opposite gender friends in HS, it's even a positive. No need to take it personally. [b]How many long-term male friends do you have that you befriended in college or as a colleague and still see each other/communicate without your husband?[/b] It's quite uncommon for adults to have opposite gender friends with whom there's real friendship based on common interests and likes. To expect straight high-school kids to navigate this minefield better than adults is extremely naive. As far as sluts in HS go, please. I mean it's definitely better to start in HS than in MS. Or where do you think teen pregnancies come from, a stork? [/quote]

Any male who has female friends in his 30s-40s definitely had female friends in HS. To think that the absolute creatures in HS grew up to have a plethora of female friends is laughable. [/quote]
