A lot of times you'll hear a girl say "All my friends are guys because they aren't as much drama as girls are." In my opinion this is a cover up that a unfaithful girl would use what is your opinion?

    I would say that girls truly hang out with guys because they're less drama. I'd rather hang out and watch football than hang out and get my make up done, any day of the week. But I'm not an unfaithful person. I'd simply rather hang out with someone chill, than some judgemental, *****y girl.

    There ya have it, big brother.

    No, I don't think a girl that hangs mostly with guys = unfaithful.

    I have more guy friends than I do go friends. Always have does that mean I will never be faithful to a guy no. I just get along better with guys. Girls that live where I do just have way to much drama in their life and I just don't want to deal with it.

    :huh:
  • Some of us just get along better with guys. I think in high school, I had a couple guy friends that only noticed that I was a girl when they needed advice about another girl. I have an older bro and grew up hanging out with him and my guy cousens and their friends...

    I think with some it is true.

    But I've always been a tomboy.
    Not into shopping or typical girly stuff.

    They all consider me one of the guys.
  • I know when a guy (my husband before included) says it, that is what it means.

    That is a ridiculous thing to say!
    Why would more guy friends = need to hide infidelity or tendencies towards infidelity? If anything this statement is a sign of insecurity.

    I have only a few good female friends (can count it with one hand) and many guy friends. Drama is one reason and another one is that I just get along better with guys. I don't know why but that is just how it is with me.
  • Wow. I really hate when people stereotype sex based on gender. Just because I am a female (sex) doesn't mean that I have to be completely feminine (gender) and hang out with girls who are also feminine. I am feminine, but I love hanging out with my guy friends because they are more relaxed and don't care so much about drama. There shouldn't be a stereotype that only women hang out with women and only men hang out with men. Some women are particularly feminine, but have a "stereotypically masculine" attitude. (They are beautiful, and they care about their looks, but they are also independent, strong-willed, and unemotional.) In other words, they look like a girl, but they have the personality traits typically associated with men (stereotypically, of course. Gender is completely based on perception. Also, sex and gender are NOT the same thing.)

    Anyway, plain and simple. It is unfair to say that women who hang out with men are unfaithful to their partners. It could just be that they understand men better because they are more similar in personality traits, but I can almost guarantee that any woman who is accused of being unfaithful due to her number of male friends will automatically defend her male friends just like she would her female friends, and if she is smart, she will find another man who will have more trust in her monogamy.

    Sorry I agree with you. When I was young I would have said that girls can have guy friends and guys can have girl friends, but over time I have seen too many marriages break up because 'just a friend' turned into something more.

    Nope, don't agree. I don't have man friends because I am married and my husband would not like it, but I love when we get together with friends that are couples. I love the way men interact vs the way women do. I'm not into candle parties and hanging out at the mall. But I do love to watch football, or any sports. My sense of humor matches more with a guys. The best is when all the guys gang up on one and tell him what a dumb *kitten* he is for this or that. Yeah, that's what I am into!

    In my case it IS true.
    I grew up with a group of male and female friends, granted one of the guys was gay and not all that what would be considered masculine by society's standards. Anyway.... with the females there was a heck of a lot of drama. I got along better with the guys because it wasn't constant talk about who's dating who, who looks like a skank that day, what groups are fighting, or girly things I don't care about like fashion.... instead we'd talk about movies, tv, latest games we were playing..... We'd go someplace that was actually fun, instead of going shopping which with my fellow female friends seemed to last forever and just ended up with a lot of wasted money. Plus guys are friendlier than girls. With girls it's like you have something to prove and you might possibly never be good enough to join their little cliques... with guys it's just... Hey, let's go hang out and play Left 4 Dead!

    I agree. Especially if you are not included. If a woman posted that her SO had all girls as friends. They would be singing another tune.

    My husband has quite a few "girl" friends and I'm totally fine with it. He works in an office with mostly females and he is friends with them. He also has kept in contact with some old high school/ Air Force friends that happen to be girls. I am not singing a different tune - its called TRUST!! He comes home to me, we have an amazing marriage and I don't deny him friends....guys or girls!!

    It's a pretty broad statement.

    if we are speaking in general terms (recognizing that not all situations are the same and that variations will be abundant from person to person), it is more likely for a woman to have guy friends she has no intention of cheating with than it is for a guy to have girl friends he has no intention of cheating with.

    so she may have a bunch of guy friends that she would never plan on doing anything with, but odds are that at least one of those guys is wanting to do something with her.
  • Whatever nerd.

    Most of my friends are male simply because my husband and I are avid gamers and tend to encounter more males than females.

    You argument is invalid.

    Nope. Many different reasons a woman would have more male friends. Usuaully none of those are "dirty".

    Women **can** be catty, spiteful creatures, and it's not always simple to find other women we connect with. Men are fun to be friends with because there is almost no pretense.

    I LOLZ at girls who say things like:

    “I hate girls. I never hang out with girls because they’re so judgemental and catty”.

    Uh… Okay.

    I'd say men comprise maybe 25-30% of people I would call friends in real life. Many of them are gay, but even if they weren't, they would still just be friends to me and nothing more.

    It's possible a woman could use guy friends as an excuse to cheat, but I think it is FAR more likely she just enjoys hanging out with her friends who are guys.

    My husband has a female friend or two with whom he attends baseball games, and I am delighted about that because then I don't have to go sit through some baseball game! /yawn

    I know my husband is trustworthy and committed to our marriage, so I don't feel threatened by these gal pals.

    I do think that this does change as women get a bit older. I think you'll find much fewer older women saying "I mostly hang out with men because xyz"
    10 years ago I had almost no use for women as friends and now, I can't imagine my life without..

    wouldn't say unfaithful however i would be suspicious of a woman who has no female friends. There's usually something that turns other people off to her that men don't see because she's attractive (not always physically but the fact that she has boobs and watches the game is attractive in its own way).

    there certainly are a few women who are like that. but in my experience, most aren't unfaithful. women truly are overdramatic *****es when put together in groups. for many years almost all of my friends were guys for this reason.

    what i DON'T understand is how a straight man can have mostly or all female friends without other intentions.

    I think it is a strong possibility that she may be unfaithful. I wouldnt trust a woman that doesnt have any female friends if I were a guy. Why cant you relate to your own gender? It really irritates me when women tend to talk about other women and describe them as full of drama and catty and all of the other things they say. What does that say about you as a woman when you describe women in that way? What I have done is just managed to find other women who dont cause all that drama.

    The reason I say it is a strong possibility that she will be unfaithful is becasue she will be around too many men all the time. Too man opportunities. All it takes it one weak moment.

    I agree with this
