When I go to an AA mtg that is a womens group I feel so unsafe and uncomfortable. It seems weird to me because I am a woman, but I have always found guys easier to hang out with because they are more straightforward. I dunno its just something I have noticed that I really dont trust women at all. I dont really trust guys either but seeing a room full of women makes me want to run away.

Your question is interesting.
I am man and I feel pretty much the opposite. My closest friends are almost all women and I find it easier to build trust with women.
Maybe we are all a bit scared of ourselves and find it easier to build trust with the other gender?

Unfortunately, sometimes women are more devious in a backhanded way then men. I notice in my office, women seem to be in more of a competition. It's sad. I have found that a woman will back stab alot faster than a man.
Perhaps it's just the nature of the beast, but it is still a sad thing. I am a woman and I choose not to be that way.
Keep your chin up. There are absolutely some good women out there too. Maybe you can relax in your meetings and make a friend or two. :)

I'm the same way. I figured it was because I have four brothers and no sisters and had just gotten used to hanging out with my brothers and their friends. But I think It's because women are very competitive with each other, which can cause a lot of jealousy and cattiness. When I went back to school I had a class with NO men. Only women. It was horrible. Waaay too much raging pms and backstabbing. I ended up quitting the class lol.

Here's my OPINION - and it's just an opinion. May be right, could be wrong; But perhaps men are like pack hunters. They get along better than women because women seem to seek the protection of a man, and regard other women as a threat.
I think it's natural for you to feel uneasy around a large group of women, especially since you feel they could be judging you. It seems you have been judging them too.
But women can offer you a point of view no man can. We men think differently. Not better, DIFFERENT. That's all.
Anyway, I understand you feeling more comfortable around a group of men. Large groups of people of any single sex always scares me.
Anyway, good luck with your treatment. Since it is your treatment, perhaps you should look for a more suitable group. One that puts you at ease, and will let you begin the healing process.
Love :)

Yep-I've been there. Women can be very catty. There is nothing wrong with going to a mixed AA meeting where there may be a more balanced ratio of both sexes.
Most of the time women only go to women's meetings because they feel safer with women for some reason or another.

I am a woman and the majority of women are back stabbing bisnatches. They are Back stabbing, jealous, gossiping females! I have acquaintances that are female but few true friends that I totally trust. Guy friends are easy to trust. Many years ago in high school most of my buddies were guys it was like a group of of 4 girls and 7 guys.

As many times as I've been dumped on, yeah, I find it almost impossible to trust women anymore.

If men have a diagreement and we want to fight the guy we do it openely - the display of strength and courage to fight is important to assert power. Plotting and scheming is not natural to the male species.
