Take me for example, I have 90% guy friends, 9% lesbian friends and one straight girl friend!.....
My question is....Do you find it that other women act catty and jelous because of this?
AND.....what kind of conclusion do you draw from this about my personality? Does it make you think I'm slutty? Or tomboyish? (is that even a word? lol)
I've always wondered this b/c in most cases, women are not so nice to me....although I absolutely love women! Not in a lesbian way or anything...lol....but I have nothing against them and I would love to have more (girl)friends.....
Someone make sense of this for me, please ;-)

It's definitely easier to get along with men. Most women I know are obsessed with things I could care less about. I'm more interested in "guy" things - always have been. There were more guys than gals in my family. I don't think you're slutty. Just because you talk to men doesn't mean you are sleeping with them! And if people think you are that's their problem and they're not worth being friends with. Friends don't judge.

I've always gotten along betten with guys too. When I was in primary school I'd say that most my friends were girls, but since about the age of 12, I've had more guy friends.
This isn't about being slutty or whatnot, I just find guys to be easier to get along with. Girls are very competitive and bitchy, and I'm not into that sort of thing. While in fashion sense, I'm more girly-girl usually, I just prefer the company of a male, they 'get' me more.
I have probably 2 or 3 girlfriends, but I wouldn;t even call them that close. My best friends are a straight guy and a gay guy. We appreciate each other.
I don't think it matters who you're freinds with... I wish I knew how to explain myself a bit better but I've had a few too many wines...
I'll check back on this tomorrow and try to give you a better answer.

Yes I am one of those woman. I can't say that I have any female friends outside my relatives. My father had five girls, and he would call us "all my boys". Chat about the domestic scene bores me to tears, I'd rather be up on a roof hammering shingles down or something. I find the same thing, woman are not to nice to me, in fact, they can be down right bitches if you'll excuse the term. If looks could kill, I'm sure I'd be dead many times over. I don't know why, in a social setting, if I am chatting with a guy and we are laughing and joking, his women has the idea I'm trying to take her man. Are they that insecure? I am happily married by the way. Anyway, I know what you are talking about. Fellow Shemale.

Im strait, married and happy. Most of my friends are males. Sure ill do my makeup and all that jazz, but im not really a mall kinda girl. Also ( most, not all) females bring drama. You will noticed that men would rather do their thing than talk about someone else. I dont think women get catty over a female having male friends, but i have heard them say hateful things

My friends are a mixture of mature people. I think you should chose your friends carefully. I don't think you are slutty or tomboyish (?) I'm not sure if that's a word either. But you do need to be careful and watch who you hang around with. They might be good people. Then again you never know. If you get into trouble often you might want to try a different crowd.

Take this from the perspective of an Empty-Nesting Single (Female) Retiree>
I grew up very much involved/interested and excited by the Math/Sciences (and my degrees are in the Sciences) ... as well as being very much an Athletic Girl (Hey, I learned to drive a motorcycle as a young girl -- something that I've done now as a LICENSED Motorcyclist for several decades) ...
Volunteered to SERVE my COUNTRY in the US Armed Forces (and have since RETIRED from the Military Services) ...
Was a Long Term Single Parent (and sole support) for my TWO disabled children ... because I survived a short disaster of a marriage to a violent, abusive sociopath ....
LIKE using my power tools to renovate my home and fix things so that I can age in place ...
AND ...
YES, I DO have more male friends than FEMALE Friends ... work in a mostly MALE environment, succeeded in (traditionally seen as) Male Careers ...
(I am straight, and have a boyfriend -- yes, even us over half-century old folks like to date!)
Do I hear comments from other women my age (who have NOT had to work like I have ...) that are catty, put-downs, nasty remarks, designed to hurt or in other ways out of their own 'little worlds' (and most of these are from women who have NEVER worked a day in their lives, but have slept their way through life and numerous shams of marriages) ...
YES, I've heard them ...
BUT ... consider the source ... Females CAN be friends with their Male Associates at work, in life, and yes, enjoy doing things that are traditionally seen as in the "Male" role.
So do NOT be distressed or upset ... just enjoy your FRIENDS and the time you spend sharing activities that you all ENJOY doing. THAT is the way to LIVE LIFE ... and to be able to have a pleasant time as well.

hey you're better of than me....100% of my friends are men. i work around all men and hang out with men all the time...always have.
It's more relaxing being around men rather than women because...yes women can be VERY catty! I used to work in an HR office with nothing but women and it was the most tense environment I ever worked in.
As for conclusions regarding your personality.....no, I don't think you are any of those things listed and any woman that thinks you are is just jealous and has low self esteem. =D

I also have more male friends than female,by choice...I can communicate better with males,in my opinion anyway..I assume you can as well.=)Its the other womens reaction of cattiness,as you put it, that makes me want to avoid women of this type..Its likely natural they react the way they do,not that its justified,but its their way of dealing with jealousy or envy..Women tend to understand other women,thus lending to mistrust on both parties behalves..Scary isn't it?=)But I just roll with the flow and hope for the best in any given situation..You should too as you seem like a nice gal and one I could relate to..=)

There is no sense to be made. I think many women are jealous. They are no better than a lot of men, in that, they think men are for one thing....a relationship, sex or both. They think that a simple friendship is just wrong and don't want to admit their insecurities. When they see you have a platonic relationship with not one man, but many, they see you as a threat/competition and it throws them off balance. They don't understand their feelings and immediately assume you are a sl*t, etc. It's their immature problem. Enjoy your friends, no matter what their gender.
