Best Friends - Same Sex

Same Sex Friends...

I love how warm and friendly the gals are here. As an adult I find it can be difficult to make new friends with members of the same sex.

I am fortunate enough to have one girlfriend who I have know since high school, and we see each other regularly and sometimes sporadically, but it's always comfortable. I have also made friends through my kids, (through school and classes etc.) since I opted to stay home them and did not have an office for meeting people. Some of them come and go depending on life situations, free time, etc.

My husbands friends are all guys he has known since grade school. He gets along really well with my brother-in-law so they also do things together. He has worked at the same company for years and years, but I don't think there is anyone there he would call a true or good friend.

I have another really close friend who I met at work about 15 years ago. We were both working away and the room was full of chit-chat.. I was pretty new there, but we were all discussing movies that followed the theme of Fatal Attraction. I said "yah, remember that one called Single White Female, where that crazy girl was obsessed with the other girl?" and she looked over at me completely dead-pan and said "I didn't think there was anything wrong with that girl.".. We've been best buddies ever since.

I am happy for you... I have a few close female friends.. but honestly, I don't know what to talk to women about... the few I have tried to become close to usually only want to talk about men.. or clothes.. ugh.. most of my friends end up being men because I can talk to them... there are no ifs, and, or buts about men...

[fever]

My closest friends are women, and then the couples we socialize with. I miss having good friends who are guys...all through high school and college I was Elaine from Seinfeld. Then we moved to California, and since we were newly married (and young), relationships with men were hard to strike up. Most of the guys we knew were single, and that would have felt awkward at the time. I love the women in my life, but I do miss having one-on-one friendships with men...

[Luna]

I definitely understand and agree with you both.

i've got lots of girl friends but i have more guy friends but i think thats cuz i like boy stuff!! my gf's are for the intimate stuff and the bf's are for the fun..drinkin beer and football stuff!! at least thats how i like it!!

I don't make female friends easily so if I find one I really hit it off with I keep them:). I have two childhood friends that I have known for 30 yrs that it never matters how long its been we can pick up like it was yesterday. I have two friends that I met through various work situations that I talk to almost daily and those are also 4+ year friendships. Here or in the real world I tend to make friends easier with men. There are even some that know more things than my girlfriends, lol, but in the end it is the person, their heart and personality that I bond with not what sex they are!

My absolute best friends are my wife and daughter, so I guess I do better with the opposite sex.

I tend to have more guy friends myself. I have a cpl really good girlfriends.

[MarriedQt]

Since moving to a new city we haven't met alot of people yet. I have a few friends I talk to every few months but no one really close. Most of my friends are guys though.....I don't like talking about shoes and styles......guess I'm more of a tomboy lol!! Put on the hockey game and drink some beer!

[Luna]

I am not a shoe-shopping designer-brand-aware fashion-conscious woman either.. maybe that has something to do with it.

jm, i think that is normal. Not too many guys have guy-friends they really can discuss personal stuff with in my experience.. but many seem to hang on to the friends they made early in life.

I had one boyfriend pretty much through high-school. My best girlfriends at that time were mostly the gals going out with his friends. When they split up, along came the new gf and then she was part of the group. The one friend I still have from those days I made outside of that dynamic.

[Lacey]

I have one girlfriend I spend everyday with. I just got her a job where I work,lol, I love her!!!But the rest of my closest friends are guys. As I've said before I have 2 older brothers and I have found guys are a bit more loyal in the friend department then girls. I have a few girls on here I'm close with , but I am a bit picky with who I open up too also.

[Krystal]

I tend to have more guy friends (that my husband doesn't know about, obviously).

I have a few good female friends that I used to work with that we get together for lunch every so often, but like Scoob said, I don't have anything to talk to other women about on a daily basis.

I'd say right now my best female friend is my cousin....but with family, you have to watch what you say, or everyone knows it! LOL

I used to have a "best friend" in high school, we were friends for many years....called each other's parent's "mom" and "dad", ate dinner at each other's homes, etc. After my mom died....she made a play for my dad.....SO not cool. Yeah, um, that was the end of that. I keep most females at arm's length now, lol.

I have always been friends with many more females than males. High school, college, et al....

When I was a stay-at-home Dad, I was the one sitting with the moms talking about school and diapers, watching the kids play, while my wife held court with the guys talking hunting, fishing, and beer. She hates beer, though.....hee hee.....

I much more enjoy talking with, conversing with females.

I have allot of different kinds of friends. I have friends that I can chit chat with and friends that I really talk to. I have only one best friends that is a wonderful person and she means the world to me. She does her thinking with her heart and there is nothing I wouldn't do for her. I have male friends as well and we get along great. I just don't tell them everything.

I keep my girlfriends for YEARS. I am the Godmother to the children of my best friend from highschool. I stayed in touch with my best friend from college, one from my 20's and another from a preveous job. When I bond with a girlfriend I am a friend for a long time. I'm a girl's girl. I LOVE my girlfriends.

:sng:sng:sng So, MoonPie.... Wanna make out :sng:sng:sng

[learman3]

I do not make friends very easily. I have a very difficult time when it comes to socializing. So I do not have any close friends at all. I have people at work I chat with, but it would never be outside of work.

I will say I find it easier to chat with women then men.

[Hands_solo]

I make freinds with both quite well , though (and rightfully so) , I would get a good beating IF I tried talking about the same stuff with a male friend as I do with a female friend

[Sylar]

I wouldn't say that I necessarily have trouble making friends of either gender. In the beginning, I'm very sociable and friendly, but ultimately except for a few cases (including a few people from this site), I'm reminded that I don't really like people.

I don't mean to imply that people are inherently bad or not worth befriending. Far from it. People are amazing, mysterious, confusing, and thoroughly enjoyable. But like alcohol, crack, and pumpkin pie, I just have to take them in relatively small doses...:D

[Mistergrinch]

sorry...didnt get to the end of your post....but what i did read sounded interesting

[msmangrove]

My husband is my best friend but I still like to have a girls day or night out once in awhile. I live in a house full of males, got to have a break!

[Asha]

I actually never really had a lot of girl friends....mainly hung out with guys throughout my life....I recently started finding some girls that I am friends with though sometimes they can be so catty...never had that with the guys

[Penny]

Same here, Women seem to put up with me but the guys seem to like me :(

[Penny]
