seriously it gets annoying, I always hear girls talking about bf's & ex-bf's in public & everywhere all the time, for example, when a girl has a boyfriend, she makes it so obvious, but when a guy has a girlfriend, he doesn't make it obvious, like I never hear guys talk about girlfriends the way girls about boyfriends, like girls are always discussing their relationship status & what's going on in it, because I've heard the word "boyfriend", more often in my life than the word "girlfriend", why do girls always ***** & complain about boys?, like throughout high school & currently in college I always heard girls always saying, "I hung out with my bf this weekend", stuff like that, I never hear us guys saying that, it's like girls show the whole world about their dating life. Like when a girl breaks up or gets back together with her bf/ex-bf, she tells all her friends & blurts it out in public, but for guys, they only bring it up if someone asks them.

like it feels like more girls have boyfriends than us guys have girlfriends, but we all know that can't be true because of vice-versa or whatever, it's the same-same, but since I've heard the word "boyfriend" all the time, it seems that way.

Girls just talk more than guys do, and their men are one of their favourite topics. So, be good to your girlfriend!

Girls use boyfriends as validation. All of these girls you are referring to have low self-esteem. They need the validation of a boyfriend to feel good about themselves. They like to bring up ex-boyfriends, so they can feel like lots of guys have wanted them. Guys generally have better self-esteem, and if they need validation, they'll get it elsewhere. A lot of guys will brag about work in almost the exact same annoying way.
Notice how most of the female responders to your question had to preface their answer with "I'm not like this" or "not all girls are like this." They're worried that they've been found out. The females realize that they all do this, so they're even self-conscious about reading your question. And they never think they are the guilty one.
You hear them talk more because they create drama for their lives. A guy asks his buddy how things are with his girlfriend. The buddy will respond, "fine." A girl asks her friend the same question, it's the start of a 3-hour b*tchfest. The sad thing is, they all want to be unique and "not like the other girls," but a lot of the time they all act exactly the same.

Well, personally, I keep my relationships private. I don't want the whole world knowing what goes on between my sweetheart and I(unless it's something horrible like abuse or whatnot). I think girls now-a-days just like to show off what's "theirs". I think it also has something to do with envy. Like, there's a group of girls and one of them has a boyfriend and she's always talking about him and whatnot and as a result, the other girls get envious. Then when the envious girls get a boyfriend, they start talking about him and what goes on in their relationship and whatnot. This is just a typical scenario. I got this idea from what I saw go on in my high school, especially when the girls went out with popular boys. It doesn't apply to every relationship, but to some.

If you don't want to hear women talking about their man issues, whatever they may be... you could always walk around with some ear plugs in, VOILA! problem fixed.
Have you ever stopped to think that someone did ask them, that's why they are talking about their bf/exbf?
Why is it when women say something that a guy may not particularly like then they are automatically b*tching & complaining about something?
You talk SO much about women talking about their men issues... is it because you do not have a gf/bf of your own to discuss with your friends?
It's human nature to talk about things, accept it for what it is & move on or keep dwelling on it and you'll end up being one p*ssed off & lonely hermit.
Good luck to you!

I love when my girlfriend talks about me behind my back, it gives a chance to see what they are saying about me. Not only do they talk about me behind my back, they make there selves at home to what ever in my own house like food, and they like to look around my house and even take a shower when i'm at the office. I have my whole house wired for sound and video i can hear and see what ever they say and do. When my girlfriend is not in the room i'll say something like hay Emma what's up with your boyfriends back is it still hurting from you riding him to hard in the bedroom, or hay Julie is your BF still hiding his gay porn in the attic, and Betty how long have you been bald under that wig and you should get that mole on your *** looked at by a doctor, not the one you had a sex dream about.
My girlfriend will to lie to me, but for me i like to stretch the truth that way my privacy does not fall into the wrong hands. When we are at the mall with her friends i'll put a bug in her purse, so when they go to the bathroom together and we all know what happen eds in the bathroom!. Once a girl starts talking about me with it opens the door for me and my business.

Not all girls do this. Some are very private and never talk about their bfs or exes at all.
I guess these girls like to talk about their bfs because they feel that they are 'in love' and this is one of the major things that is on their mind frequently so that's why they keep talking about it.

I am wondering this because there is a girl who I am into who I feel a connection...she is flirty but simultaneously she mentions her boyfriend. She is my manager at work and I am wondering if she is holding back by constantly reminding herself she has a bf-- OR is she trying to "poke and prod" my jeali-strings to coax a move out of me? I am confused whether she is pushing me away or trying to pull me closer. Normally, I would assume pushing away, but she is very flirty, extremely nice, and looks at me differently than others....confuuuuused

not all the girls do this cause some are wants to keep their members of their relationships in side their hearts and never talk about their feeling .
but on the other side there r these girls who want to talk to every one about the love story that they are or they were in cause they feel so happy and so lovely when they r in.
