MaGilicuti's Theory on why guys have more friends then girls.

[MaGilicuti]

I know a couple girls that have no friends. I mean none. All they have is their boyfriends or maybe a relative they hang out with. Sometimes they will have friends but not as many as guys. Guys for the most part have many friends. I hardly see a guy that doesn't have atleast one good friend. From time to time you hear of girls saying they like hanging out with guys more then girls. Some girls have many guy friends but hardly any girl friends. You never hear of a guy just having many female friends but no guy friends.

This is where my theory comes to play. I believe guys have lower self esteem and we comfort each other and make each other feel more of a "man." Guys have lower self esteem and we just chill. Girls for the most part have bigger egos. I mean when a guy says he's ugly he's ugly. When a girl says she's ugly she's just waiting for you to say no she's not. Girls are a lot more competetive and I don't think that many egos can coexist.

I'm not sexist but this is my observation. So far the world is running fine so whatever everyone is doing just keep it up. It was just something I wanted to share.

Anyone have anything to add?

i respect your thoery mag, but girls have very low self confidence
in fact the prettier the girl the bigger change she has low self-esteem

i do ahear to the thoery of "ugly girl, fat girl" where in a pretty girl will travel with an ugly pack or fat troop in order to stand out,

well im going to bed

cheerio

You do have a point. I'm going to have to think it out a bit.

Hmmm....well I've never had much of an ego. I guess that's just me.

As for friends, I have few female friends and the ones that I have I've been friends with since grade school. I don't feel like I always click with women. They have a tendancy to get catty and play mind games. I honestly have better things to do than involve myself with people who seek to get into petty mind fucks. Not that all women are like that, but I find that groups of women (like in an office setting) tend to lead to gossipy nonsense.

Most of my friends are male. I feel like I relate to them better. There aren't mind games and things are generally more mellow. My bf however has a fit that my friends are guys. According to him, they all just want to sleep with me. I think that's a lot of BS because I have a lot of sibling-like relationships with them and seriously, if I've hung out with someone a lot over the years, wouldn't something have happened if there was some chemistry??

I'm insane from lack of sleep, so what you said went pretty much over my head. However, I know this thread will have 50 replies by noon, so I'm going to add my comments right now.

I know one or two girls with no freinds, except a s/o. Mostly this is because they've been with the guy a long time and have neglected other friendships. However, I know plenty of guys who only hang out with thier wives/girlfriends. I find that once people get into a steady relationship (and I realize this is a generalization) they basically forget about thier friends. This goes for women and men.

As to your theory reguarding self-esteem, I think you may have a point. Except where men are concerned. I'd say 90% of the men I know (including me) don't really care too much about thier appearance/looks. Guys don't give a damn what thier buddies look like, how they dress, who they fuck, etc. My guy friends run the gambit from professional athletes, to fat computer geeks. We all get along great.

Girls on the other hand are waaaaaay more critical of each other. I don't know a single woman who's happy with her appearance. Rare is the girl who will actually compliment another woman, and not talk shit behind behind her back. How many times have you heard a girl say she ditched a friend 'cause "she thought she was all that?" When's the last time a guy said that one of his buddies had too much self-esteem?!? LOL I mean, damn....

That's all I have to say for now. Actually, I forget what the topic of this thread was. I need sleep.

Maybe the esteem thing is wrong. But girls are more competative with each other I think. That might be it as well.

 

[MISSFLEX]

Very good subject to hit...this is what I have to say.

Women are very competitive among each other..hence, that is the reason behind the pretty girl hangs with the ugly/fat girls...in my case, the only women who want to hang with me, are the bisexual ones...LOL Go figure! And too, being a woman bb, doesn't help much with other women wanting to be my friend they are always saying what a fantastic body I have (green-eyed monster).....and forget about me being invited to a social event, when their men are around!!! And you know what??? When I see a man and woman together, I respect it, and never ,never, try to make a play for the guy....unlike other women...
I think we all need more respect and compassion for others.

Most women are just flat out bitches... which is why they have trouble getting along with other women... a bitch and a bitch don't mix... simple physics... much like two positive magnetic fields...

Now guys on the other hand, as you said, are more laid back... and can get along. This is why women tend to have more male friends, I believe. My girl has alot more guy friends (or guy accquaintences) than she does female... just easier to get along with, I suppose?

Women do have low self-esteems, and no confidence (in GENERAL)... guys, I really don't think we care about most of that shit...

One thing that annoys me about chicks who have tons of guy friends and very little gal pals is this and this only.

They are totally naive to the fact that 80% of those guy friends want to fuck them.Nothing worng with that but I wish the girls would realize this fact
You chicks can babble all you want that I am wrong but I am right ok. I have never seen a guy and girl be able to have a super close relationship without one or the other trying/wanting/ thinking about getting into the other's pants at some point.

Oh and one other thing. When we are your friends gals, we dont mind listening to your problems but not every fucking minute we are around you. Guys will talk about problems with guy friends too, but not at the expense that you women ramble on and do nothing about it anyways.

Just a mini rant because too many of girls I know as friends(and I try to avoid getting too close) call me way too much with the same bullshit over and over and lately it is starting to annoy the shit outta me.

Shalom

I cannot put up with drama, from male or female friends.

Just so happens that many of the females I know are high drama! So have I have alot of girl "acquaintances" and a few good girl friends who don't cause drama and are chill like I am.

Having been into dj'ing and techno for the past 10 years....most of my friends are guys...cause...not many other females I know like what I like.....
