Hahaha I thought women were great at just "talking things out"?? It's a well known fact women talk/communicate more than men.

I LOL'd at this one!
yes, but men stick their heads in the sand and try to ignore what is really going on around them....just to keep peace and peace at all cost is no peace at all.

they do, but if you cross some of these women, they will make you pay for the rest of your days....

There are some really great women out there....believe me, just as there are great men, however, my problem with it is...I'm a loner to begin with...then adding to the mix, several really bad experiences with some women, have definately taught me to tread the waters cautiously and there is nothing wrong with that.
And that goes for all people....we're just not all mentally compatible.

really? i have actually experienced the opposite - men would rather just talk it out right away and squash the issue ASAP. whereas i find women will stew about the issue forever while being passive aggressive towards whoever is bothering them. i find women are far less confrontational than men.

but of course everyone's experience is different. it's just interesting to hear different points of view.

The only problem with men as friends (if you're a woman) is that, once your man friends gets himself a woman, that woman will get rid of you post haste because...women!

yupper, they just shut down, stick their heads in the sand....why I don't know?

But my male friends, no problem.

maybe husbands are afraid what they say will come back to haunt them?

It's really sad. For one most do it just to look "cool" for guys, then internalize it and blow off other women even though they could be great friends! It's fine to have guys as friends, but as a general rule it works better if the friends women have are more women than men, to me if I meet a woman that says any of the above or has more guy friends I don't trust her.

Not to get political, but we live in an age where women more than ever should be helping and supporting each other, we should always support other women and come together in sisterhood. Yet it's really sad how so many feel it's a kind of badge of honor to say "I'm not like other girls/women". Anyone else feel the same?
I think there's a difference between women who actively avoid female friendships and think they're better than other girls and then girl who just don't have as many friends.

For example, Some women prefer having a LOT of different gal pals, whether it be individual friendships or circles of women. But more introverted and shy girls really prefer having a few quality girls they can count on and call best friends- basically quality not quantity. I think both of these are perfectly fine but it's important not to confuse girls that fall on the continuum of extroversion and introversion with girls who are just selfish/narcissistic and want all the attention on themselves.

I responded to this:



you disagreed with her, yes, and that's fine, but why not talk instead of shooting her down with insults and say "Lets hear some intelligent reasons, rather than trolling.

No one is trolling and no one is less intelligent than you....or less of a person for their beliefs....

and how was this post of yours addressing the subject at hand?

It seems we can easily agree to disagree, but I won't take part in this back and forth banter of mean-ness.
And the 'meow' response?

You won't take part in it?

Less than me?

I'm not sure why you have decided to target me here, but if that is how you want to contribute to this thread, then have at.
