I'm in a sort of weird spot with this sort of thing. Most of my friends are pretty much dudes these days. That's not to say I don't love painting my nails and wearing pretty things, because I really do, but I do looove late night snack raids, forest explorations, ultimate frisbee, video game marathons, long sessions of MST3K inspired shit talk, and crappy movies. I suppose I just like hanging out with guys more.
See, every girl friend I've ever had and have currently, has drama in varying degrees spewing out their eyeballs every day. I love my female compadres, but god damn, at least with guys I don't feel like I'm being judged and compared so damn much on my clothes or hair or make up or body. I can look nice without feeling like I'm being silently critiqued. And I cannot tell you how many times I've been woken up at two in the morning to console a weepy girl friend on trivial boy problems. Seriously, I have enough stress in my life, I don't need to surround myself with high maintenance people or be their personal 24/7 therapist. Maybe I'm being selfish, but oh well. I guess that comes with being raised by a bunch of simpleton boys.
It'd be really nice to find another laid back girl to hang around with, but for the most part I cannot tolerate a lot of the nonsense that occurs while swimming in an estrogen ocean.
