[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]agree that some of the responses have been harsh but it's true that there is something up with OP if she can't make friends with ANY women. i'm far from a girly girl - hate shopping, the spa bores me, don't like gossip, but guess what? i still have women friends.  [b]most women are NOT judgmental, catty and/or drama queens.  there are plenty of down-to-earth, normal fun human beings who are women[/b].[/quote]

NP here.  First of all, I have female friends, so I just want to get that out there before you all start attacking me.  I know I'm not a precious snowflake.

But female social dynamics in general can be very difficult to maneuver for certain personality types as well as for women who never spent a lot of time in a clique as a kid.

I thought this was common knowledge and has has been pretty well documented in sociological studies, et cetera, that female bonding in groups is different than male bonding in groups.  So it's not outside the realm of possibility that some women (for a number of reasons) have a real difficult time navigating it enough to really connect/bond with other women.

My advice to OP would be to try to spend time with some of the women in your life on a one-on-one basis.  So invite one of the wives of your husband's friends out to coffee or something.  You might find it easier to connect outside of group situations and without some of the complexities of group dynamics to navigate.
