Ok, so I have this chick that I have been friends with for the past 4 years, you know best friends, go to each other for advice all the time, chill all the time, blah blah blah. Ok, so 2 weeks ago she started dating some other guy, he seems really cool and everything and would love to chill with both of them. The problem is, she has only called me once in 2 weeks, just to talk about this guy. I am all cool with that, but she's dissing all of her guy friends big time, and it sucks.

i find that a serious error in judgement on behalf of the girl (or guy, since i don't think this problem is really specific to female friends). it is annoying and insulting to the friends.
beast - just know that she is obviously being stupid... i'm sure she still values the friendship, but people make mistakes. there is not much you can do about it. if your friendship is strong, perhaps you can forgive her for this mistake... if not, dump her as a friend i guess.

Yes, Master.
Gopunk,we're only talking about two weeks here and he's upset that they aren't setting up a third place setting at their dinner table for him.When I got into a new relationship after being single for ages my friend was happy for me and gave me some space.. of course he also left outragously funny voicemail messages but that's a topic for another thread. The point is,friendships of long duration go thru cycles where you're in constant contact and periods where you aren't.The best thing imho about men as friends is that this usually isn't a problem.

perhaps i am just bitter because i have had this happen to me a few times...
when it happened to me, i, much like your friend, expressed how happy i was (because i was) for them. and i gave space, like your friend did...
but i was still irked at what she was doing... i had actually done this to her previously, and this made me realized how sh!tty of a thing it is to do to someone. i obviously can't take back my actions, but i wish i could... and i hope in the future i will have the clarity to not do the same thing.
in my circle, this is a common and (often hypocritically) despised action among both guys and girls, so i don't think this is just me. but my point is, friends will often not show it because they want you to be happy and etc, but it doesn't mean they aren't irritated over it.
i know when you're in luuuuuve everything is blurry and you basically only think of one person. but i think friends should make an effort to take into account the feelings of others![]()
If we were talking months with no contact or even worse her not responding to voicemail then I'd agree with you but we're only talking about two weeks,for God's sakes the poor girl probably can't find her underware and shoes
let alone the phone![]()

seem rather abrupt. sort of like how a newborn baby must feel as it comes out of the mother
perhaps this also has something to do with being a teenager... i hear that 2 weeks to a teenager is longer than 2 weeks to an adult. it's like *forever*![]()

I don't "dis" my friends I hang out with regularly, but there are times when I need to be alone with the significant other!
Now you wouldn't want to be around your friends 24/7 while you're with your significant other now would you?
Maybe you're a little down and need them and they're busy with another friend?
Are you lonesome Beast??![]()
I think you need a group (((HUG)))![]()

Maybe her bf is jealous, and feels threatened by you? Who knows, you should be asking her whats up. If she is really your best friend, then you should have no problem talking to her, calmly, and just finding out if there is a problem.
As for me, hell no, I don't do that. Guy friends are the best ever, I wouldn't give up one of mine for any reason.![]()
