  • This is not that unusual. I tend to only hang out with women. And I have plenty of female friends who largely hang out with men. It could be a lot of things. Competition. Fear of your own female sexuality. Maybe you were raised with lots of brothers. There is no simple answer. Maybe ask yourself this: Why do you feel the need to have female friends? Answer that and you'll probably find what is keeping you from making more female friends. The simpler answer is: Just do it. Go for coffee with coworkers. Find a hobby or club that other women like to participate in. And keep asking yourself, what exactly makes me uncomfortable about this?
  • I know what your saying; Im kind of the same way. Im not a tomboy, but I'm not interested in things that most girls are interested in. I hate shopping, love video games. While girls are chatting with other girls about 'girl things', Im always chatting with the guys about video games, or politics. I don't want to try to be someone else just to make girl friends, but it would be nice to have some.
  • No big deal hon just do what makes you happy. My best female friend has lots of guy friends including me. In fact I rarely saw her hanging out with female friends. Now she was surely feminine but she didn't always think like a girl typically does which is why I think she had more guy friends. I have guy friends too but I've always had more female friends then guy friends. Guy friends on the whole can be more judgemental. On top of this I'm a ballroom dancer. Which means I dance with women a lot, now this might not seem important but its very much so. At the competitive levels of ballroom dancing either partner screwing up enough could injure their partner. Dancing with girls like this means you develop a trust for them that you don't develop with your guy friends or any friend that you don't dance with. Hence my best female friend was also my favorite dance partner and she's in my avatar pic with me. (but hard to see) Never once wanted to date her (she's married now) but I trust her like a sister.
  • I don't know. I'm in the same boat. But hey, I'm from NJ and I travel to PA and NYC a lot. I just want to hang out with a girl who is real and doesn't always have to put up a front to impress someone. Someone who doesn't play dumb to get a guy's attention and knows who she is and knows that she's strong and smart. Girls play a role and I feel degrade themselves in the process. Know what I mean? Are you in the area or halfway across the country? Knowing my luck, you're prolly in Australia. But even so, if you just want to talk, find me on AIM: PrzekochanaVerKa.
  • I hear ya, Im friends with A LOT of guys. I find that guys are actually easyer hang out with, they are less drama. I woudlnt worry about making female friends if I was you. But if you really want to just make sure you act like yourself and dont try to change because they wont be your "true" friends if you do.
  • If you find girls "uninteresting" you're unlikely to make any female friends. Think about it - would you want to be friends with someone who thought you were boring? I think maybe you need to view girls as individuals, rather than a group - women are as interested in as wide a variety of things as men - but you have to make the effort to talk to and engage with them to discover that. Don't assume that all women are interested in is clothes make up and guys - there are very few women who have such limited concerns - most of us read books, watch films, like music, keep up with current affairs to some degree, have opinions on a variety of different issues, have at least one hobby - just look at the profiles of the female users on AB - they're a very, very wide group - and that's a good representation of women as a whole. Give women a chance, don't approach with the assumption that they will be "uninteresting" - instead go in with the intention of finding it out what it is that makes them, as an individual, interesting - almost everyone has something about them.
  • I know how you feel XD I was the exact same way growing up and I still kinda am, Im always thinking "what's so interesting about make-up/cloths/shoes/ect? its a waste of money..." Or "Why do they always screech so high??? *aka what I dubbed the 'fangirl squeel' >< *" From what I learned later in life *when I had my first group of female friends* I would try to find a common interest for me and my first group of female friends *I was around 12 at the time* it was Anime and Video Games. Now I understand not everyone is into that so when I had friends who wernt into it Id just try to stay with the conversation and agree or dissagree with whatever is brought up in the conversation, for example, "do you like this dress?" I'd tell them honestly if I liked it or not and if I didnt like it I would suggest a better one, sometimes my friends got annoyed when I didnt like something they liked, but I told them "if you want to look like a whore fine thats your option but I honestly think you would like nicer in this, and if you dont like my opinion fine, just dont ask for it next time..." *though they always do ask for it again later XD* But for my final Opinion try and find a friend in a similar situation as you, Hell Ill be your friend if you want XD Though I did discover one thing thats very intersting, Our type of Women are the ONLY ones who can explain to men what women are like and want because we understand men to a certain point as we do women to a certain point, For example a male friend of mine was upset because he didnt know why his girlfriend was so pissed when he was just talking to another *attactive* girl she didnt know and he barely knew, I explained to him that she was probably pissed because it looked like to her that girl was trying to get with him and that its just like him seeing her with another attractive man he doesnt know. Its jealousy rearing its ugly head just get her a small gift of her favorite food or flowers, Explain what happend, give an appology and she'll cheer right up. It kinda makes you relize how sad it is and why men and women try to get together in the first place if they dont understand anything about eachother or their feelings, I can understand it in the sexual sence but... Thats it, its like a why bother if its that confusing. Though I do understand another thing Our type of women are a diamond in the ruff for me ya know? I mean how many guys get to get the chance to be in a relationship with someone who can almost completely understand them? and not only that but wont kill their wallets to nothing because of the EXTREAMLY EXPENSIVE THINGS most 'NOMRAL' girls like XD *is seeing this in a humor point of view XD* anyways Ive rambled enough the bottom point is women are a complicated species that cant even understand themselves, so dont stress yourself over it just go with the flow I guess X3 you'll find a good trusting female friend eventually, you can always do what I did and that is follow your heart, aka if you see a fellow female you just HAVE to talk to for some unexplained reason go talk to them no matter how nervous you are 9 times out of 10 they will be the bestest friends you could ever have or hope for X3 Sorry for the such a long reply though X3 Ill bookmark this and check up ever once in a while for a reply if you wish to be friends XD *if you get this twice sorry ^_^**
  • I am the same way for the most part. There is probably a female out there that you can have fun with and get along with. I have 1 true female friend. Growing up with 4 brothers made me get along with guys alot better. Plus growing up hanging out with guys you see alot of sluts :D That does'nt help when it comes to trusting a female as a friend.
