Why do girls have girl friends?

Question

I've noticed that throughout my life girls are cruel to other girls, even their friends. They tend to steal each others boyfriends, talk about each other behind their back, and other things I can't even think of. Most of my friends are male for that reason, because I know that if I find a guy I won't feel threatened about him meeting my friends. Does anyone else feel this way? That they prefer to have male friends more cause they can't trust other women to really be a friend?

Answer 1

Well, Im glad you noticed this. I did too, at the time, I honestly couldnt care less. I had all of these girl friends that I was really close to. There were about 10 of us in the "group" or whatever you would call it. We all "loved" each other. Well, one day I called up one of my friends and I told her that I really liked a guy named Taylor. And she said "You cant like him because I like him!" Then I said "Okay, I wont like him then, he is all yours." And she said "No no no, its the other way around, hes all yours." And I said "Are you sure" and she said "Yeah, Im positive, go get him girl!" And so like she wrote him a note telling him that I liked him and it seemed like she had a really time writing it and giving it to him. Well, the next day, one of my guy friends named Jawaun asked him out for me when he didnt even ask for my premission and Taylor said yes because he liked me too. So we were officially going out. Well my friend that wrote the note to him was pissed because I was going out with him when she liked him. She actually got kicked out the day that she wrote that note. So, EVERY SINGLE DAY after school, she and my other friend talked about us. Well, not only did we manage to breakup, she got him. So, I got him taken away from me by my so called "best friend." I didnt know that at first. I didnt have any idea why the h**l he broke up with me in the first place. About a month later, it was bothering her so much that she called me at 3:47am (exact time, I remember) and told me exactally what happened. So ya, I know what you mean. And me and her actually got into a fight at the beginning of 2005. She was just pissed about something that I "supposably" said, so I just got punched in the jaw. She punched me so hard she BROKE my jaw. I gave her a bloody nose and a black eye =] but, today were really good friends. Dont ask me why. But, I have like 2 good girl friends, the rest are guys.

Men are people too and trust me they talk behind your back too. People fail to realize that talking behind one an others back is not as bad as it may seem. How many times has someone pissed you off and you went to someone else and talked about, cursed the person you were mad at and said things that you only meant at the time. It is called venting, sometimes you just need to get it out of your system and be done with it. Women may do the things that you talk about but men on the other hand do similar things, if you dint think that your male friends are talking about you in a manner that is not friendly you are sadly mistaken. Men talk about how your behind looks in those jeans and your breast in that shirt and here you are thinking you are one of the guys. The fact of the matter is that people are going to be people and while I do agree that women can be a lot more malicious and vindictive does not mean that men are not the same. You just have to pick your friends more carefully. We all see signs of the things that people are capable of and we choose to ignore them for one reason or another. Though I do agree with you on some of those statements I do have some really great female friends. Another thing we have to know that not everyone can be entrusted with everything there are people that I know that I would not let around my boyfriend male and female. Female for the obvious reason and male because they will tell all of your business (keep in mind I am not saying all men or women). I guess what I mean to say is it is a matter of knowing who you are dealing with and setting boundaries.

That's not really the reason I hang out with guys, I am not worried about someone stealing my man or anything but the back-stabbing and crap like that is the reason I avoid them. I have one girlfriend and it's been kind of hard to keep our friendship together but I think we got it now, been friends for 15 years. Luckily she likes scrawny long haired guys and I like my men to look like Men, so that has never been an issue.
I avoid relationships with other women mostly because I can just barely put up with my own psychosis, don't need some other womans on top of that.

Answer 4

I prefer to have male friends because most girls are not worth talking to..I have four great girlfriends tho that I would die for and do just about anything for, and no, I don't worry that they will take my boyfriend, they have their own..I think that girls are cruel mostly from HS through college because we are told we need to be the hottest, coolest, trendiest girl around by hollywood and by cosmetic companies/tanning booths/salons/clothing/etc..and that just fuels the problem, creating a world of hateful girls who should be banding together to support eachother in this male dominated world, thats how the MAN keeps us down ladies

Answer 5

I have a lot of girl friends. Actually most of my friends are girls. I'm single and dating and as a young single person I think it's important to have friends to share stories with and get advice from. I can relate to girls a lot better than I can relate to guys. And while I understand that girls can be terrible to each other, I am lucky enough to have found friends that I trust, friends that are supportive of me, and friends that I know will be there until the end. If you're only friends with guys, at some point those guys may meet their future wives (who probably won't like that you're friends with them) and it's tough to be close to them at that point. Girl friends will be there forever! At least I know mine will!

Answer 6

All my life I have had one or two very close friends that were girls. All the rest were guys. I dont believe in drama nor do i want any part of it. Girls are and can be messy! I feel very lucky to have my two best friends and would trust them with my man in a heart beat!!! I dont see anything wrong with the way you are thinking.

Answer 7

A friendhip with a woman is better of a suitable courting, someone like one you paintings with in an workplace, or a classmate with whom you communicate preparation appropriate issues, etc. at the same time as the formality will develop right into a lot less and the involvement will develop into better by ability of way of sharing personal information, spending time with one yet another for applications except what a suitable courting demands, and assembly one yet another better frequently and at diverse places for exciting and interest, then the girl-pal/boy-pal reltionship is composed of play.

Answer 8

guys go after girls, girls do not steal each other's boyfriends, well it takes two to tango so u can really blame only girls, men also have their share, in my opinion, all girls are not the same like u think, some guys do gossip and steal their buddies girls, they even kiss and tell.

Answer 9

i have more girl friends than boy friends because i can relate more to a girl than a guy. you just picked the wrong friends, but i can trust all my girlfriends

Answer 10
