Girl with no Girlie friends =(

Quick and simple question;

Are there any other girls out there who have zero luck at making friends with fellow females?

I'm at uni studying engineering at the moment, so 90% of my classmates are male. Few years back I was at a girl's school, had a few female friends but not many. It seems I'm more relaxed around men, I even used to think they were better company but I really miss having close female buddies around me now.

Does anyone else have this [bizarre] problem? (If you can call even it a problem!)

I don't have an problems making friends with girls but I just seem to get on better with guys and they always see me as an 'honary lad.' I think the only problem is that there are times when they are insensitive (but don't mean to be) and a girl would understand and be able to help out/comfort better. Other than that I just find guys easier to get along with in general.
Girls normally offer better advice though, or so I've found.
girls are better at analysing things but guys are far less bitc*y and lesslikely to hold a grudge about petty things

An honarary lad amongst lads? *confuzzled*

I actually prefer the slightly less intimate relationships you get amongst blokes, and they're a lot more interested in running around, play fighting, making stupid gun noises in lectures - the kinda stuff that cheers me up.

I just find most girls I meet at uni really boring, not shallow, but dull/lacking in imagination.

LemonLime, you're the one and only girl? Wow, what course is this? :confused:

Same thing! i get the guys all being silly and childish and it cheers me up, and i get some of them asking for women advice! lol yeh only girl, there are only 8 of us tho, its a really random course, but it seems to be male dominated through all three years

I'm curious, whats the course called?

Within engineering, all the girls (about 20 of us amongst 200 men) seem to have their own little following of men. It's really fun and its makes you feel quite special. :biggrin:

Well I have zero, so ner ner ner ner nerrr. :smile:
I don't really have any friends who are female, I mostly hang around with males. Im primary school I was always playing with the boys but when I got to secondary school none of the boys in my class would have anything to do with me! I didn't have much luck with the girls either, I hung round with a group and there was major bitchiness that I won't go into...
Anyways now I'm in post 16, I hang around with the boys again. But wait; they're the same lads I hung out with in primary school!

basically in my group of close friends I'm the only girl, I'm not quite sure about the whole 'honary lad' concept really but its what one of them said to me once, I think he meant that they'll talk to me about football without the 'you're a girl so that means you know nothing at all' attitude. Something like that anyway.
I've always gotten on better with guys, and only a few girls in many cases. Luckily I'll be in uni soon-being in a girls school for 7 years has been torture!
I don't have any female friends, guys are so much easier to talk to. Not as two faced either. :smile: But off to vetmed in september where there are more girls...

i got that problem, but not cos all the people on my course are guys but cos the girls are racist should i say?
im not english or blonde so english girls dont speak to me or wanna include me
im not asian so asian girls dont speak to me
im not black so black girls dont speak to me
its a little sad how people get into groups but it doesnt irritate me cos i got my sister and my closest friend here whose female with me and i made another female friend at uni here, the rest are guys. its much more fun.

why dont you try and meet the guy's girlfriends and be friends with them? might work...

Hmm I never even considered that angle, but for me its not why I don't get on with other women.

I'm also neither white, black, asian and I almost always have the tick the 'Other' box. :rolleyes:

This sometimes works, but not always. Got an exchange student whom I get on with well, shame she can't speak great English. Darnit!

Bah, only Kingston. :smile:
