amaysngrace Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 In school (until my sophomore year of HS), I was bullied a lot also. I was always an easy target, because I never spoke up for myself. But guys never bullied me, it was always girls. This made me feel more comfortable around men in the long run and that remains to this day. And the guys probably thought you were a really cool girl because you didn't act like a typical girl. Which probably only made the girls like you even less if they were already hating on you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
stillafool Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I've heard that she's stolen the men. I can't vouch for that but from what I can see, she flits from one guy to another, pretending to be their platonic friend. Well there it is!!! That's the reason she doesn't have female friends. Leave this one alone. Link to post Share on other sites
venusianx13 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Well there it is!!! That's the reason she doesn't have female friends. Leave this one alone. Most definitely. Those types of women are territorial and do not make good friends. Many of my guy friends are in relationships; I am respectful of that fact. I have no desire to date my guy friends, anyway, as I am in a happy relationship. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Anela Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 In school (until my sophomore year of HS), I was bullied a lot also. I was always an easy target, because I never spoke up for myself. But guys never bullied me, it was always girls. This made me feel more comfortable around men in the long run and that remains to this day. Guys liked me, but most wouldn't admit to it, because it would have been "uncool" for them to do so. I had one boy who was a good friend to me, too - he gave me one of my sweetest memories, he was just a great guy. I was teased about him having a crush on me, and he was the most popular guy in school. He had girls throwing themselves at him, but he was always hanging around me. I miss him at times - he's married now, though, so no going there. Another one asked after me when I dropped out - he lived next-door (we shared the same birthday, birth year, too ), and he could be thoughtful. He liked me, but was too embarrassed to admit it until I was moving away. He could have helped me in school, but he didn't. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
SpiralOut Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 She could feel intimidated by other girls. Maybe she is very shy or maybe she has been bullied in the past. Or maybe she feels she is in competition with other women around her and drives her friends away. I used to be friends exclusively with girls. I began to hang around more men than women when I moved away from my hometown and felt that I had nothing in common with most of the women I was meeting. I'm also shy. I still managed to become good friends with two women, in spite all that, so there must be something else going on with this girl. She doesn't want women friends or she's doing something to drive them away. If she really does steal other women's boyfriends, then yeah that's bad. The only women willing to tolerate that will be the type who either do the same thing themselves or are naive enough to think she won't do it to them. Link to post Share on other sites
TheZebra Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Most of my friends are guys and it's much easier for me to hang around guys than it is other women. For some reason, most women are 1) not into Action, Horror, Fantasy, Sci-Fi movies 2) Barely have a sense of humor and tend to get offended at just about anything 3) Create drama 4) Prefer to talk about other people rather than things that require thought and creativity. I know there are women out there who aren't like this, but they def. weren't in my classes in college and they're not in my workplace today. Plus, guys are just more relaxing to be around. I can crack a 'that's what she said' at any moment and expect laughter, whereas if I do it with a group of women they'll roll their eyes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately there are a larger percentage of women out there who are extremely shallow and cannot hold a conversation that has anything to do with more than gossip, shopping, looks, boys, and other topics of no depth. Also many girls are threatened by confidence and women who are driven and have purpose. It's like if a girl knows who she is and isn't trying to be something she's not, she's automatically labeled a b*tch. It's weird in girlville. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Author red shoes Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 I don't have many female friends. I have maybe 3, and only 2 are close-ish. I have a very hard time with women. Nearly every female I've become friends with and tried to have a close friendship with has betrayed me. I don't want to sound like a victim here, either, but it's the truth. Some of my posts in the friendship forum have been about just that. In my earlier twenties, I had a group of girl-friends I'd hang out with and be in close contact with... however, they were a toxic bunch. Very, very competitive, always talking behind each other's backs (I don't dig gossip, or partake)...I felt like I had to walk around on eggshells with them. When I distanced myself because it was all just getting too ugly, two of the girls of the group pitted up against me and literally harassed me for two years straight. These were grown women (with children, might I add) creating false social-networking profiles about me, prank calling me, calling my work (yeah, neither of the two worked for a living, go figure)... I don't think anyone from that group speaks to one another anymore. Not surprising. I sincerely hope they've grown up and are happy with their lives. Another friend of mine that I knew from HS took up talking to my son's dad (my ex, we all went to the same HS together) and began an emotional affair with him, subsequently breaking up his engagement. At this time she was also divulging information to him about me/my life (I did not know of the extent of their contact). This all happened shortly before it was revealed to me (by his ex-fiance) that my ex had a drug problem and was not behaving like a responsible parent, and I was going through court proceedings to have him investigated and his partial custody revoked. So basically, my friend was going to him, telling him of my intentions and so forth. One of my good female friends admitted to me that she didn't like me when she first met me. I am a little quiet/reserved at first, and I believe people think I am stuck up for that reason. I have many male friends, but it's different - I am lacking closeness with a female that I can't get with a male. Even at work, I don't have any female co-workers that I go to lunch with. The reason for that is because I refrain from gossiping about others, and that's pretty much what the conversation is about. It really stinks. At least you have a few female friends. For the girl I posted about, some discerning guys know what she's up to. But most don't. Another girl recently told me that she wouldn't introduce that girl even to her ex boyfriend.

Gagirl Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 When I first starting dating my husband, some girl that I did not know or go to school with approached him one night to try tell him something apparently bad about me. He told her that he didn't want to hear it. To this day, I don't know why she would do that when she had never met or spoken with me. Thank goodness he never listened to whatever bull**** she was going to come up with. I have been with him for 22 years now and have a wonderful family. That may have never happened because of her. However, she did tell his brother whatever it was and that has greatly impacted those relationships with my in laws. We don't have anything to do with them anymore. Seems like I've fighting with women like this for years. For some reason, they like to spread rumors and talk about me. When I confront them, most lie about it and run like cowards. Give this girl the benefit of the doubt and get to know her. Most rumors are created because the person spreading those wishes it was true. Think they are jealous because I go after my goals instead of whining. I sure would love to know what it was about though. Link to post Share on other sites
