I usually let my boyfriends, when I get one to stick around long enough, that I don't really get along with my same sex. I actually don't have any female friends, my best friends is a guy, and if they don't liek it, there is the door. If a guy can't trust me to hang with my guy friends and won't believe that I will stay faithful, then he needs not be with me, cause trust is what it is about.

Yeah, I do flirt with profanity quite often. "You want to fvck me?", "I'd sure like to fvck you up right now." "Well fvck me."

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.

Maybe she's tired of trolling w/the bottom feeders and is trying to move the up the social food chain a bit. :p j/k

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.

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 :D

i agree, 2 weeks isn't that long. but if you're talking to that person every day for a couple years (like i was... i mean we would fall alseep on the phone together), it does seem rather abrupt. sort of like how a newborn baby must feel as it comes out of the mother :p

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* :p

Hah! Thats called perspective... Still, it doesn't matter how old you get, you never get enough of it ;)

Some immature people can't balance their love life with their work/friends/family life -- my friend Cherie is that way, she is normally a pretty decent friend until she gets a boyfriend. My friend will even dis me on my birthday if she's seeing someone, and I'm not talking about Mr. Right or a potential long-termer, she does that crap even with guys she knows may not be around for a couple of days!

I, on the other hand, value my friends and would never do that. I've even been complimented for not doing that to my friends (male or female). I think we all want to spend time with the person we're starting a new relationship with, but if you can't make time for your real friends, then you don't have your priorities straight and need to remove your head from your new love interest's as$.

What made it really funny was the completely "lights are on but nobody's home' look in his eyes when he said it,he really thought he was simply being a good host,hahaha,offering Viagra like it was a beer or something.It might take me awhile but I will get even with him for that :D

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? :D

Maybe you're a little down and need them and they're busy with another friend?

Are you lonesome Beast?? :p

I think you need a group (((HUG))) :)
 

"that's bullshit"

Exactly! Preach it!

It's only true for girls/women who are clingy or somehow have possessive bfs. For an independent woman/girl, it's far from true. What a hasty generalisation that was!

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. :D

Well I know her boyfriend and he's not like that, we have talked before. Plus, he knows I would kick his ass if he ever tried anything funny like that. I will talk to her, but I know exactly what she is going to say, "I am sorry I found someone I like to spend time with, if you can't handle that then we can't be friends." Typical women thing to do, reverse the fault back onto the man. You guys are so good at that.

It cracks me up everytime I think about that though, because my girlfriend is the same way. Like I will be all pissed about something and sit her down to talk about it. So I explain to her what's up, then the next thing I know, she is the one yelling at me! Crazy how you guys are able to flip things around like that.
