can one be too much of a guy's girl? (rhetorical question)
I love my girl friends, and I have a fair amount of close girl friends, but I feel like I hang out a lot with guys (at home at least). Guys (besides my really close girl friends) are just a lot more honest and won’t bullshit with you when you tell them a problem.
I remember when I was telling some friends about this guy I really like. It wasn’t much of a story, just that I’d know him for a bit but nothing had happened and whatever, and the first thing they said to me was, “does he even know you like him?” and I kind of described ways I had tried to show it, but I guess they were right. I didn’t really do anything to be like, “hey guess what? I’m interested.” One of them told me with the signals I was sending (or wasn’t) it was the kind he’d gotten from strictly platonic friends. So basically I suck at flirting. Ok, so that hurt a bit, but it was honest. It was a little better than talking to girls and thinking what I was doing might be working, which it clearly was not.
At home, my guy friends don’t take my bullshit. I like to make fun of people, it’s my way of showing them I love, but if I taking something too far to the point where they don’t want to hear anymore of what I’m saying, they tell me to stop. They bring back embarrassing things I’ve done and get me back. It is only fair. But I like that, and if they didn’t do it, I would have forgotten all the dumb crap I’ve done in front of them.
Also, guys won’t get mad about minor things or cockblock. They’ll let me have my fun, in moderation, and if I were to need some help, like say I drank too much, they’d help. They wouldn’t just leave me (like I’ve seen other girls do to their friends. not that my friends would EVER do this, but I’m saying other people). Also, guys are much better body guards. Just saying.
Another reason I love my guy friends is because we can go out and have fun and we know we’re just friends. I love just going out with no real plans but to look around. Tomorrow I’m meeting up with an old friend and I have no idea what I’m going to do in the city, but I know I’ll have fun. We always have fun catching up.
Someone told me about how if you think all girls are bitchy/problematic, the problem is usually yourself. See, I don’t think all girls are like that. I would never associate myself with people like that, but I do have girl friends. I just think guys can be easier to deal with sometimes and especially in the summer, you never want any drama. Plus they always know the good places to have fun.
