drahcir Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 For me, I think the best thing about being friends with girls is that they are so understanding, fun, empathetic, attentive, honest, open, easy to talk too, and non-judgmental. For everyone here, what is the BEST thing for you about having a friend of the opposite sex? Link to comment
shes2smart Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Being able to talk to him about whoever I was seeing at the time, and him being able to point out to me their bad behavior. More than a few times Ray would tell me, "a good guy wouldn't do (fill in the blank with whatever the bf-du-jour did)" It was through Ray's observations that I learned what to look for, and how to tell when I was being treated badly. In an ideal situation, I guess this is what a father would teach his daughter -- how a man should treat you -- but, like most of us, I grew up in a less than ideal situation. It was also Ray who passed along these great words of wisdom to me, "No Trust, No Relationship." Ray taught me more about unconditional love in action and real friendship than just about anyone else I've met. Link to comment
ComputerGuy Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 I like talking to girls more cause I don't have that fear of being emotional or whatever.....I can't say for certain though, its just easier with girls..... Link to comment
scaryperson Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Being friends with guys is good, as they aren't always completely serious, they're fun, and i am totally insane, which i can't really show much in front of female friends. Link to comment
Scout Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Guys are more laid back, less animated, generally easier to hang out with. I don't know if these benefits outweigh friendships with other girls, but they are nice benefits. Link to comment
scaryperson Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Oh, and guys aren't really snide towards people who are supposed to be there friends, which, i can't say i don't know a single girl who hasn't done that at some point. Link to comment
drahcir Posted October 5, 2004 Author Share Posted October 5, 2004 what does "snide" mean? Link to comment
scaryperson Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 talking about others behind their back, making nasty comments. Guys only seem to do it when they genuinely hate someone, but girls seem to do it whenever Link to comment

swedeace Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 .... I'll let you know as soon as I am no longer confused with my current opposite-sex friend. Link to comment
aireyc Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I think it is better to be a girl and have a guy friend (what) than be a guy and have a girl friend. Girls are allowed to act silly around guys and goof off, whereas guys still have to control themselves around female friends. What's good about it? I'd say the fact you don't have to be all rough and strong around females. You can just be yourself without putting on a show just to seem tough. Chris Link to comment
