[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I know women like this. In my world they are mostly lawyers or in PR. They’re competitive but also want to be viewed as fun, down to earth (so not) and popular. On Urban Baby some people called these women ‘great group of friends’ women because IRL they were always letting you know how they were going out for ‘ladies nights’ and spa days with their ‘great group’ of friends. Their kids too, of course, always have a ‘great group of friends’. [/quote]

I have been part of some of these "great groups of friends" and while I do think some people really love it, it's not for me. I do so much better with people either 1:1 or in a group that is more mixed (men and women, people who know each other in different ways, not so homogenous as these female friend groups). I find it hard to get to know people in a group like that, and even when everyone is genuinely friends and there's not like toxic queen b vibes, there are sometimes subtleties to relationships that I find a bit off-putting.

Also I am just not a big drinker and for whatever reason that seems to be a problem in these groups in a way it never is in other settings. It's the one situation where people seem to care if I'm not drinking at all or if I "only" have one drink. For me it's about my health and also just learning that as I age, alcohol impacts me more and I don't want to be hung over or tired in the morning. Every group of women I've been a part of has always been extremely alcohol-focused and it's just not for me.[/quote]

That’s funny, no one would even have a mimosa at our Bounce House & Bagels kid bday parties in Bethesda. [/quote]
