LoginTom, 27, first noticed that his friendships were skewing womanward in college. Friendships between men and women are on the rise in the U. He attributed the reported discrepancy to the subjectivity of relationships, and concluded that an equal percentage of men and women have platonic friendships. I attribute the difference to typical male hubris. Greif says that the number of men in platonic friendships with women has likely increased since he published Buddy System. The rise of male-female relationships in general has also made way for guys like Tom, whose friends are almost all women.
Dating a guy who has many female friends is not the easiest thing you can put yourself through. But, ladies, not every guy is the same. There are gems out there too! Before you jump to conclusions, we urge you to think it through. He knows that there is something special about you that no girl he knows has. You not just understand him, you complete him.
So when we get our feelings hurt we discuss it but really try to be kind about it or sometimes avoid discussing it but eventually get around to it , but we never get to the point where we either yell or call each other names. Ok, so back to the best friend. This is a woman who has been his friend for a couple of years before we met, they work together, they get up at just to go meet for coffee before work every day, they have lunch together every day, they run a side business out of her home, and they do several extracurricular projects together gardening, sailing.
Last week I wrote about some of the worst behaviours of women who sabotage relationships and drive men away. Questions like: How close is he to that female friend? How often do they hang out? Do they spend time alone?
