Women with guy friends or guys with women friends shouldnt matter as long as they are always treated as friends and you are secure in your relationships.Both the relationship with the friends as well as the one with your signifigant other.Having an issue with it is a sign of lack of trust unless the signifigant other is obviously more than friends with some of them....

I would think there to be a problem if a woman didn't get along with ANY other women, but when I see a woman that relates well to men on all levels I find it quite attractive.

Probably 90% of the friends I've had over the years have been men. It's not that I don't like hanging out with women (I cherish the female friends I have more than I could ever express), but I just seem to click better with the boys. Most guys don't have a problem with just having fun and being goofy, while lots of women want to spend most of their time drinking coffee, talking about relationships, talking about their kids, and so on and so on.... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, boring.

I have 2 female friends and a ton of male friends. It's just the way things are. I can relate to the guys more than the girls. Do you realize how much drama goes along with a friendship?Try being around a group of hormonal women and you will know what i mean!

I agree, no girly girl girlfriends. I've always had a lot of male friends, from middle school to present, so it doesns't seem odd. And I have a couple of girlfriends, but find that I'm closer to the men friends.

I wonder though, and this would be a new thread, of all of us who have the male friends, how many were intimate relationships or relationship starts, that tempered into friends, because that says something different entirely about the friendships. Just a thought.

diggydiggy, none of mine started out as relationships or potential relationships either... They were all just buddies that became buddies for the same reasons two women or two men become buddies. :

I have to agree with the others on this one.

Growing up in a house with four brothers, I didn't learn to interact nor relate to other females. Til this day I have a slim social skill when it comes to women on several levels.

Women are smart. They know all the games other women play. Men are stupid. They fall for all these tricks. A woman with only guy friends have only guy friends because they are skilled at manipulating men to do whatever they want and can treat them however they want. However, they cannot do the same to women


overload on the bull puckey scale.

Most of my friends/acquaintances are male for the same reasons Smile With mentioned previously plus most women annoy the crap out of me for those reasons.

Please note the quote. Women with ONLY guy friends. I'm not talking about women with both guy and girl friends. You just got to wonder....how come that girl can't hang on to a close girlfriend? I have a few friends as girls too but you can only talk about certain things to them. You have girl friends so it's obvious you're a good friend to both men or woman.

I used to date a girl that only seemed to have guy friends. While I trusted her and really didn't mind it from her end, what did start to bother me was that these so called "friends" all pretty much one-by-one revealed themselves to just be trying to get in her pants.

She was an attractive girl, and guys being the way I know they are (Afterall, I am one..) it just got to a point where I had to have a candid talk with her and let her know that guys rarely can maintain a "just friends" relationship.

Not to say it DOESN't happen, but 99% of the time if an attractive girl has mostly "guy friends" and there's that opportunity to try and get her into the sack (some party, everyone has been drinking, whatever) they will usually take it.

I honestly don't think that's true. I said above that most of my friends throughout the years have been men, and none of them have *ever* tried to go to bed with me. I'm not super attractive or anything, but I'm okay I guess. I think it just has to do with how much said friends respect each other. My guy friends are like my brothers, and I'm pretty sure they see me as a sister figure and nothing more.

Yeah I agree with you shivan and other guys. Guys wanna be overly friendly because they hope it'll develop into something more, one day. I have to say keep on dreaming to those guys. lol But one thing though... women usually know what's going on. Come on, you have to be really stupid or naive to.., etc.
Doesn't mean I won't be friends with women like that. It helps to know what's up.

I love women, but they are different from men. For one thing men ask for less, at least from other men. I have some female friends that seem to expect me to worship them for being in my life, and then when I liberally threaten them with spankings they giggle girlishly/gleefully and redouble their efforts. That kind of BS you will never get from a guy.

I don't think women know what is going on anymore then men. They are just as apt to be pragmatic, and fall into the same intellectual pitfalls but are generally more moody about it.

I do love them inspite of it though. They are soft after all, and they generally smell pretty.

Ladies, let's flip the scenario the other way. What if your man ONLY had women friends and hung out with them when you're not around. How would you feel about that?

For women with only guy friends, my take is it has to depend on the quality of the relationship and the trust that's built between the couple. I know how some men can behave, in trying to get into a woman's pants - especially a good-looking woman, and would maintain the friendship until an opportunity arises when the woman is frail or vulnerable.

right on aceloak. we know, since we are guys. I am still totally confused and dumbfounded, why normal women aren't friends with other normal women? Is it because they aren't normal? No wonder its old men running all the corporations.

That's an interesting one dwn2earthguy. But at the same time, from a guy perspective, if I knew a guy with only women friends I'd think he's gay (not that there's anything wrong with that). It's not quite the same for women. I think for women......it's more about the sharing of emotions. Like my bet is that most women out there would be uncomfortable if their spouse or boy friend's best friend was a woman. Because that would mean their bf or spouse would go them for emotional support. I think that would be more equivalent on how a guy would feel if a woman only had guy friends.

A wise person once told me that if you can't get along with your own sex, you won't be successful with the opposite sex. I think I see a grain of truth to that.

Women can't get along with most other women... It's a competitive thing. Always criticizing each other's hair and clothes and character.... Things men don't really care about.

I totally agree with the competition thing~~ I've only had maybe 3 good women friends in my life... Always guys. But, I don't hang out with them alone when I'm in a relationship..I"d always include my "significant other" or else not go out. In fact, many of the most recent guy friends I've had were the best friends of my ex.... so we all hung out together.... ((although most of the "wives" left after a short time))..... I loved it... Nothing better than a bunch of guys hanging out, drinking beer at the lake around a fire>>>That's when they're REALLY themselves..... And they forget I"m even there ((like a fly on the wall))~~~

Maybe those of us that don't aren't normal then>? Good point~~ LOL~~ I've never been the type to do lunch, go shopping, and gossip on the phone... and never will be~~~ I find it extremely boring... So, different strokes, I guess..... I prefer to be not "normal"~~~~ It's what makes life interesting
