Is it normal to be a girl who doesn't have any "girl friends"

I'm a 20 year old college student who recently noticed that she gets along better with men than she does most women. I tried having a few "girl friends" but the ones that I did have and considered my closest friends stabbed me in the back and were all over the place "are we friends, are you mad at me, are we not friends, are we playing passive agressive bs games?" I suppose I just got tired of the whole thing, can anyone else relate? It is normal for a woman to avoid friendships with most other women and instead be friends with the guys?

    I've had this problem all of my school years! Not all girls are bad because I have a few close girl friends so don't completely shut out all girls. But to be honest, most of the girls that I got to know ended up stabbing me in the back, talking about me nastily to their other friends, and I just felt like a doormat. I was there when they wanted something, then other days it was like I never existed.

    I'm sure this happens to a lot of girls, but some people, like us, actually have some self-respect and don't let other girls treat us like that. But as I said, some other girls are awesome :) Boys on the other hand, I could talk to all day. I prefer boys - I just do :/ But this did create further problems for me, as the girls who I didn't like and stopped being friends with accused me of being a whore because I spoke to boys more. But then I just thought, "Who the hell cares? I'll talk to who I want". So yeah, completely normal, don't worry about it, hang out with who you want. Just don't avoid relationships with girls. Don't judge, get to know them. Then once you find out for sure that their a bitch, then avoid them :)

    I can totally relate to you. I have mostly guy friends also. I've had a few girlfriends that were cool, but I feel more comfortable with guys. Most guys are easy going and just want to have fun. Most women are fake attention seekers. (Note: I said MOST women, not ALL women.) Also women tend to compete with one another instead of supporting one another. They act nice to your face while screwing your bf behind your back. These stupid bitches give us real chicks a bad name.

  • Sure its normal to enjoy friendships of the opposite sex - but there are women who do not behave badly as the ones you attempted to befriend. I don't think you should judge the behaviour of whole genders - male or female - on the behaviour of a few.

    Look for the qualities in the guys you like in other women. Its a bit sexist to think all women are back stabbing passive aggressives.

    I think guys are easier, but it is complicated by the fact that the reason they make time for me is they are attracted. It's fun and a compliment to have somebody flirting with you and pretending you are just friends, but maybe always hoping for more. It seems to put them on their best behavior, so it's great ... until they realize you aren't giving it up and they get a gf and the gf won't let them be friends with you anymore.

    I have always been this way, and realized it's because I far more enjoy certain activities that MOST girls are not interested in- snowboarding, hiking, camping, training my dog, golfing. I have 97% guy friends and my husband has spent time with all of them, and he is fine with it.

    It's perfectly normal. Although, your next boyfriend will likely not be too thrilled.

    I would guess you are pretty hot. I've heard women say this in the past and they were always very attractive. Probably the other women are jealous of your beauty, the ease at which you turn the male eye, etc. Young women can be very mean to each other out of insecurity.
