Women: Do you ever prefer to be around men than other women?

Question

Sometimes, I just want to avoid all other females and only be around men. Women are so dramatic. Men don't gossip, Men don't start arguments every 5 minutes ... they are just easier to be around. I can't stand those radical feminist women who are always complaining about men and try to make women seem superior to men while claiming that they are for equality.

Do other women ever feel that way, or am I just crazy?

Answer 1

amen. i wish all women thought like you, everybody would get along.

Answer 2

I do not know what you mean by "older"? Maybe 5 years either way? That would not be bad. There is nothing morally wrong with it. However, two people should at least come from the same generation in my opinion. (There are exceptions) This way, there is more in common. My husband an I will always remember what 1970 was like. We have these points of reference and also share the kind of music, etc. We can share how good a coke was with a bag of chips in the "old days" when coke came in bottles. These are not important examples, but they are nice to be able to share. A person that much younger than I would not be able to appreciate my kind of music, or have any idea of my life experiences growing up in the generation I did. It would be foreign to this person. Their music and lifestyle would be foreign to me. Anyway maybe it is me, but I just cannot imagine what a man or woman would want with someone young enough to be their son or daughter, or even grandchild? This conjures up visions of grandpa soaking his false teeth on the night stand while his young wife is totally repulsed. Just not a pleasant thought to me. Sorry! Bottom line is if you are both happy and really in love, go for it. Just make sure this is the person you want to be with. Be realistic about what the future will be like with that person. Remember, the younger person will usually have more energy. The older person will get wrinkles and maybe false teeth one day. There may be a chance that the younger person gets bored with the older. After all, there are many young people his or her own age out there that can share much of the same things. If you can live with this reality....great! There is something wonderful to be said about being able to grow old with your spouse. Either way, just be happy and make the right choices for yourself! Wishing you a long happy life no matter what you decide. Peace and blessings to you.

Answer 3

No, you are not crazy. I prefer having conversations with men because they are not usually trying to gossip about something, they are not questioning me in order to have something to hold against me later on, and frankly they appreciate my company. Women are too competitive and are their own worst enemies. The radically feminist women I know are pretty unhappy. They are suspicious of anything original a man might do without their permission and then complain that he's a wimp. Commercials today make men look like idiots, and if the shoe was on the other foot women would be screaming that it was unfair. When I have a conversation with a man I know we're having a conversation about what we are talking about. Sometimes I've had conversations with women where she repeated the conversation to someone else and I couldn't help wonder - was I really there for this conversation because none of this sounds right." Men take things at face value: You said what you said and that's what you meant, and by the way, you have nice boobs. Women tend to read things into it that aren't there, like, "What the hell did she mean by that and by the way that bra makes her boobs look like squasshed melons." MEOW.

Answer 4

Women in general are envious of other girls because they think of other women as competition... from men. That is why most women think that they are better than other women but in reality those women who thinks this way have no real accomplishments. Girls who hates girls are mostly insecure. Even in the animal kingdom, they have observed that females do not get along with other females. Just watch Lindsay Lohan's film "Mean Girls" and see what I meant. And whoever told you that men don't gossip. They just don't gossip whenever you are around.

Answer 5

Ive never had a single altercation with any of my female friends. While I can agree that some women have issues and love drama, I do not agree that women are trouble in general, and I believe women who cant get along with other women, hate something about themselves and have more in common with those "dramatic gossipy women", then they would like to admit. Women who cant get along with other women, are women who usually like to be the center of attention where men are concerned, and want to eliminate any possible competition. I am not a jealous person so I can not relate.

Answer 6

I'm a guy and I often prefer to be around women? Why? Because they can be so attractive.

And, I think when a guy hangs out with a girl, he does it because she's attractive (or she worships him) even if he has no intention of trying to have sex with her. Women can be magical.

BUT, still, I can and do at times value being around males who are my best friends. We can let our guard down. We can talk about anything and support each other. With girls, guys are rarely feel that they are allowed to worry about anything or have difficulties in life. Why? Because men feel that they have to be superman and be perfect in women's eyes.

Guy friends tend to be far FUNNER than female friends. Guys like to DO stuff together instead of sitting around and yakking with a girl and never doing something fun --- fishing, hunting, camping, kayaking, hang-gliding, playing cards, telling nasty/funny jokes, riding 4-wheelers, fixing up a car, talking about the relationship they have with a girl, etc.

My best friend and I did sooooooo many things when we were growing up.

Answer 7

You are not crazy, I feel the same way....I worked in a garage with 32 guys, it was more fun and I can just be myslef....Then I had a job with all women...catty catty...It was terrible the gossip and you could not say anything unless you wanted everyone else to know about it...and the clichs that women have..ugh....ok I will stop now.

Answer 8

Most of my friends are males. Women gossip and hate on other women way too much. I still communicate with them because they are the only ones that can feel your pain when you get down and out. As far as men not gossiping they are the worse ones its just that you don't know he is telling all your business because he is only telling all the guys that he knows especially his best buddy. So don't be quick to put your females, because you don't know what that male friend of yours has said to his best buddy....Be careful cause they will turn on you too.....

Answer 9

Yes. There have many times during my life that I've gotten along with men a lot better. They don't have that jealousy and pettiness and competition like some women do. I have a girl friend, who after spending time with her boyfriend, would go home to sleep. I would stay out with him and talk, talk, talk. It was great. And she didn't mind at all because she knew I wouldn't do anything.

Answer 10

I like to have an equal amount. Being around women is good, because you can relate as females. But for those times where you really can't stand females, men are great to be around.

And I've heard some men gossip around me...in their own, masculine way. :)

Answer 11

all my best friends are guys- they still gossip- but its not as pointless and cruel. I think it depends on the maturity of your girl friends- its hard to find girls who arent obsessed with trivial things liek makeup and being a ***** and clothing etc... If i could just have girl friends who would talk about music, philosophy and sports and school with me then life would be good- but every girl Ive been girlfriends with has been bitchy, judgemental and gossipy.. so i think it is really a maturity issue.. cause im not like that at all..
