I'm a single guy, but for some reason I like being friends and hanging out only with women. I get extremely bored if I have to hang out or talk with another guy.
So over the years, I have formed a large friend circle of women. Out of those friends, I ended up dating or being FWBs with a few of them, but with 90% of them it's pure platonic friendships. But still I enjoy their company more than that of any guy.
Sometimes I see guys hanging out with groups of other guys, and that makes me wonder how other people are able to do that.
Does anyone else also feel the same way ?
You must be a shoulder to cry on type of a guy.. female friendships are just good enough for nagging and gossiping.. men endure and get things done and look out for their pack.. i will tell u a fact if u are in deep shit and need a helping hand.. women will just say aww and rub ur shoulder in sympathy.. your male friends will drop things and come together to pull u out of that shit hole even if it means they are gonna experience some setback and ofcourse their female mates will again intervene and criticise them for helping u out but real men wouldn't give two cents about that and still do all they can to help u out ...
That's a very broad judgement passed.
Women help in different ways and men help in different ways.
In my past experience, Men friends will stay late with me, arrive at short notice, help out with physical effort, often lend money even if they are in hardships. But they did these because they could. Girls in my circle were not allowed to stay out late, had to answer to parents on every penny, were often very weak physically and had less social interaction. They themselves also had limited social circles to borrow help from.
I have known people from both genders going out of the way to help their close friends. It's usually that girls have taken a lot of times to form close friendships whereas guys hit it off very quickly. On the other hand, girls are more empathetic and good listeners while even close guy friends Crack jokes and belittle your concerns.
You are the guy which other guys bully when guys get together.
No, on the occasional chance when I do hang out with guys, I don't get bullied, but I do find it very boring.
Also, physically my height and body frame is on the larger side, so most guys will not want to mess with me or think of bullying me, so that's one issue I don't have to deal with 🙂
@CalmLake Us bro Us🫂. For me, the major reason is i am done with life goals like money, career, spouse etc... I was super introvert as a kid and was always difficult for me to talk to female till last year. I decided to improve the communication and started talking to them if i find a little comfort. I really got in touch with few genuine and nice humans to talk to regarding different topics as you mentioned in one of the comment. I feel much much better especially when they are matured and handle things without a second thought.
Glad to hear that you were able to find some good friends.
I have a lot of questions for you:
-Are you an engineer? -Where do you find women/girls who have the same topics of interest as you? -What are the topics that get brought up that you find interest in with them? -What the the social circles you frequent? Is it work or something related to your line of work? (like sales) -How do you initiate interaction? Is it just because of your extroversion?
Yes, I'm an engineer
I mostly meet women through my social circle (friends of friends), at work, at hobby classes, or online on dating or friendship apps.
Common topics of interest is not a challenge. We have some common interests with every person on the planet, such as food, music, TV, movies, traveling, current world news, friendships & relationships, etc.. You can talk about these topics with any human being on earth - ask about their views/favorites and tell them about yours.
Apart from that I tell them about my interests & hobbies, including books, playing musical instruments, learning foreign languages, science, computers & technology, etc. Most people are interested in hearing a bit about new things outside their own sphere of interest.
Mostly hang out with friends and accompany them to their events of interest, and get introduced to friends of friends there.
I'm not a huge extrovert. But when I get introduced to a new person, I try to be nice to them and have a normal conversation with them, about their lives, and on any of the common topics mentioned above.
Human friendships are not complicated. It's just a matter of getting to know another person. Hang out and talk with the same person again & again a few times, and they start becoming a friend.
Not friends, bhai, yar, launde!! Love the time spent with my bhai log! Chai ki tapri se chalte chalte kaha nikal jate pata nahi chalta. Never late for the reason ki makeup abhi nahi hua. During a visit in another state, never need to plan anything, bas chale jate hai. But with female friends, its never been the same in my exp. Apne bhai ko jab chaho, jaha chao bula lo, turant hazir, but with female friends, "ek toh pehle se itne issues upar se ye"!! Or maybe people have not found those friends who they could call "bhai" yet! Either way, I think I have been really lucky👊
I like both genders and their company. Pros and cons of each. Maybe you prefer women over men, that's fine. Personal preferences can vary.

Why do people on this platform assume a generic username to be a man? (if the username doesn't give the gender away)
