Where/How to meet new people?

[Mags]

I have two close girl-friends that I adore...the other ones I have found to be back-stabbing xxxxxs...and based on my recent drama w/a "girlfriend" I won't be making anymore friends with girls anytime soon...but I do see how this may come off as a red flag though...don't get me wrong, I KNOW a lot girls and even hang out with some...but I don't consider them "good friends"

I've always been cautious with girls that do not have any friends that are girls. Those are the type I steer away from. If a girl tells me all her friends are guys then the alarms go off in my head and it tells me that the girl has a lot of problems.

It's like imagine a guy that says all my friends are only girls, I don't have any guy friends, Man that's bad.

Not directed towards you Mags, I'm talking in general since your post brought it up in my head.

Nothing personal Mags, I mean I don't know you... so this is totally not about you. But generally speaking, from personal experience, the girls that tend to only have male friends, have some serious issues. So omniscient, good! stay away from them... they are boy hungry with jealousy issues and more! hahaha

As far as making new friends, option 4 seems to work for me the best! Why would you say it is not a fresh start? so what if your friend knew him/her first. It's a fresh start for the two of you.

I think I have an equal amount of girl-friends and guy-friends...I said I get along better with guys...not that I have more male friends

I can see where some guys would hesitate to be with a girl with a lot of male friends...but that stems from their own insecurity *shrugs*

I think you totally missed the point Mags, you didn't see everything so clearly I guess. I wasn't talking about the aspect of the guy being jealous because the girl has so many guy friends, that didn't even cross my mind.

There are many problems that I see wrong with the girl having all guy friends and no girlfriends, I've experienced first hand a few years back, these girls have a lot of issues, I don't really want to get into detail right now since I really have to get rest now but maybe I can tell you why later tonight. Hopefully you know what I'm talking about and what kind of problems they might be. But that insecurity thing was funny, hell even if there were guys that were not insecure about it, I would still think it's very wrong that the girl would have so many guy friends at one time while having a boyfriend and I think many would agree with me on that one which is still beside my point. Gonna go sleep now, have a nice day.

I know exactly what you meant, and I chose to respond with the jealousy factor of the situation because that would be the most obvious

Hey I've had my experiences with a girl that had more male friends than female. Maybe you're not like the majority Mags, maybe you are one of those exceptions...but from my experiences and the people I've known, if a girl surrounds herself with guys all the time it's a clear sign to stay away. Personally I like being able to tell the difference of a male and female personality wise. Hearing a girl say "I have to take a mean dump" or seeing a girl get wasted drunk every weekend partying with guy friends isnt what I have in mind when talking to girls. Remember this isnt an attack to you, I don't know you and you could very well be an exception.

It's good to know that other people have come across this problem. Not good that you have this issue, mind you, just good that I am not alone (along with a few others around here). I always kind of envy people who have remained friends from middle school, high school, used to be neighbors, whatever, because they seem to have these close circles of friends that new people are hardly, if ever, let into... I only talk to one person I went to high school with, and then it’s not very often. I especially envy these people because I feel like I am completely lacking in the Armenian friends and acquaintances department. I have two very close friends from college and both of them are white. I have no close Armenian friends to speak of.

Most of my close friends are those that I met in elementary, middle, and high school. I've known both my best friends since 2nd grade and although we go to different schools now we still manage to keep in touch and get together.
This thread is interesting b/c when I was younger I always introduced myself to new people at school and thats how most of my friendships grew. Now I'm more reluctant to do that just b/c I dont feel the need of newer friendships. Of course I still want to meet new people, but I keep thinking that too many friends causes you to lose the connection you would have if you had only a small number of friends. I like being in the type of friendship where all my friends are friends with eachother, that way you would never feel bad for spending more time with one group of friends over the other. Another thing is that I have a hard time keeping a friendship with Americans. There are only 3 American girlfriends and 3 American guy friends that I still keep in touch with today. I've always gotten along better with people from different countries (not necessarily Armenians, I actually have only one non-relative Armenian friend).
