my 4 best friends in high school were girls. It was a negative because I had a big crush on one of them when we became friends but it declined as I got to know her (hungry-eating-half-of-my-lunch-every-damn-day muthafucka!)

The plus was I knew who all the freaks were in school. I knew

-what the senior class president, her homegirl, and 2 of the star football players did after junior prom
-who was giving head to her study partners
-the truth to the rumors about my dance teacher and some students....
-who was the undercover hoes (I should've taken advantage of this information )

I'd be walking around campus with the "Oooh, I knew what you did" look

Somebody make another thread!!!!!


puts on reading glasses

I've never had a confide-everything-in-best-friend of either sex really, I keep most things to myself.

There is a woman I see most days who probably thinks I am her best friend
she tells me everything and cries in front of me and I find it draining!!!

I have close long term friends, but sometimes they might make an observation of me like "you don't like the heat, do you?" as if they know that about me, and I get annoyed!!

I must say that since I began having serious relationships, my friendships have taken a back seat.

NDRU said:

me too

and I like having lots of casual friends together with my partner

My closest friends have been a pretty even split, I guess. I tend to prefer the company of men. And women often don't like me. But I do think women are a bit better at being there when times get rough. Men tend to be like, "you deal with your shit and call me when you're fun again." Which is actually fine with me, but I haven't been much fun lately, so my friends are skewing female.

i haven't got any friends.

thanks!

it's not self-pity; it's just the way it happened. got married and just sort of went into a cocoon.

tackam said:

This is very true in my experience.

my best friend is male. we have not compromised our relationship with sex. he tells me the nasty scoop on men and i tell him the nasty scoop on women. we have an agreement that if one day when we are old, gray, and arthritic and we find ourselves still single...we will get married.

or, as a man I have been told that we're only trying to solve problems, women console each other.

NDRU said:

you're a good problem solver btw

you totally hit the nail on the head yesterday in a way I'd never looked at it before

It's an even split... my close friends male and female I've known since childhood. Though, I tend to to " specific things" with my men friends. I see them at different times of the year at specific events. I have friends we really only see each other till baseball season stares, we go to Cubs games together. But when I need them or they know something has gone down, they are there.

i have two friends, both female. my last male friend was when i was 8. other than that guys dont seem to like me. my two female friends (who are twins) have the same problem, girls dont seem to like them.

NDRU said:

Yeah. If men can't do something to help, they seem to not want to talk about hard stuff. I don't think that's a wrong way to be, but if most of your friends are male and you're going through shit, it's easy to feel real alone real fast!

my best friends have been female 'cept one male. most straight men i've come into contact with have just had an air(sp?) about them i can't stand being around.

even gay men after awhile I end up bringing out the claws and can't keep long friend relationships with. (I've coincidently had some sexual relationshit with all of them )

I would never be friends with any of you skanks.
