I'm really crap at making friends with girls, whats the best way to go about it? Have i gotta act a certain way or something?
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

As for specifics, I find 90% of girls love a good bitch, a communal perve session, and lusting after anything found in the window of Topshop.
Is that how you made all your friends?
Well maybe you was speaking from experience ...
Anyways on a serious note, just chat about the normal general shite and see where that gets you.
They're probably threaten by you
Some girls aren't really suitable to have female friends. Actually many of my female friends are KINDA like that. Have more male friends, etc. Not exclusively tho...
It's not that hard me thinks. Girls are often subtle about things and it's nice if someone (one of the same species!) already knows what you are talking about, or how you think. Girls have it therefore usually easier to open up to other girls. Do the usual girly stuff, ask to go shopping, or what the hell....
Attention, stereotyping-train... *tuuut tuuut* Last stop, generalization city.
i don't see how making friends with girls is much different to making friends with lads. apart from lads will talk about how fit you are once you've left the room. :razz: generally to make a good impression just be nice and friendly. initiate conversation and ask questions. have a laugh, say we should do this again and then exchange numbers.
How does telling a guy he's no good in bed compare to having limited female friends? Is there some sort of correlation I'm missing? Perhaps the fact that she's honest to a person's face, a quality some of my sex lack?
how did i not see this?! you really are a class A ahem sometimes.
like the poster above me said, what does this have to do with the price of fish?!
Well, she was afraid that it speaks around:
.
Sleep with a friend of some girl? no problem.
bulldoze this guys ego and make him miserable, well that might get somehow back to you, and the (female) friend of that boy won't be too impressed either if she gets wind of it.
You know how rumours start spreading. At the end of the day nobody wants to know the man-eater.
Is it really that far fetched? You should know how a lot of girls give out about somebody behind their backs, if there is some bad rep involved to badmouth about.
/eta: It's MY correlation and MY opinion. I might not be female, but it puts me off not to say it's a horrible trait. So following your analogy of making male and female friends isn't all that different, that might be something that matters. end of story.
What the fuck? That doesn't make an iota of sense.
To develop and keep friendships with other women you have to be incredibly open while still watching your mouth. As Halloween said, they all like a good bitch until it's directed at them. Basically you need to have something in common with them, start chatting and magically get on like a house on fire. If they get the impression you're just trying to make a friend, any friend then they'll probably snub you.
I've always found female friends very hard work, but they are worth it if you can find some you have things in common with and click with. If you can't then it's not worth seeking lasses out - or changing the way you are yourself! - just so you can feel you have a female friendship group - no female friends are better than a boring bunch of harridans.
Lol i've got the reputation that i'm a heartless bitch, not that i'm a man eater! Although to be fair not sure which ones worse :chin:
I tend to have more male friends because i find that they keep conversations light hearted, whilst my female friends (i do have some, just not loads) are always depressing me with stories about blokes fucking them over, or other emotional stuff which to be honest i'm not really used to. I'm not a tomboy or anything, my rooms pink an stuff
competition? Competition? That's friendship not the fucking world wrestling federation. If it's your aim to find a girl to see if you can match up with her, whoever gets more dick up the chocolate starfish that's not friendship for me, that's jealousy and always trying to surpass the other.
It's my opinion that you are a moron.
question is, why do you want more female friends? Like you said, blokes keep it lighthearted and are really easy going in friendships. Do you need people to pour your heart out? Do you want girly evenings? Is it that your boy friends fall for you and that's something you don't want to handle?
I think the easiest solution is, to find new female friends through the ones you already have. Most of my friends I have are through other friends etc. It's a like a chain reaction.
Well i think it's because i would benefit from being more girly. It's too hard to explain and to be honest i don't think i even know in my head but i feel like i'm missing out.
Yes thats what i mean. People joke that i don't feel anything, or that i don't have any feelings about anything which is kinda true to an extent. I figure i need to be softened up or something.
I'm the opposite, I don't really have any male friends, maybe because I have no brothers and went to an all girls school.
I'd suggest chatting to people at work, asking them to come to lunch with you, asking them about their clothes/relationships/general gossip.
I couldn't live without my female friends. Who else would you discuss the non understanding of men with?
I have maybe 3 or 4, and they are all from school. I realised i haven't made anymore since then, i just never know what to say etc.
Theres nothing wrong with them, we have a laugh an everything but no i don't see them much.
