Are there any women here who only have brothers.........

that find it hard to get close to other women or hard to keep a strong friendship with other women?

clarifying: i do have friends but mostly guy friends and my bestest friend is/was a guy, i could always depend on him, total bhai type, no female friend problems

guys are so much easier to talk to…for me :vivo:i figured it was b/c i was constantly around guys while growing up

Maybe it's not that you have only brothers, but something in your personality that is repelling your own gender.

Re: Are there any women here who only have brothers…

this is such bull. what does being desi have any relation to this issue.

i do have female friends but only 2 really good ones(one i’m not really sure about anymore though) and my sil is great and i get along with her, she’s really sweet, thank the lord i got one like her that’s so wonderful but those women that have loads and loads of good female friends i bet had sisters to relate to.

darn i couldn’t pass it up…awwwwwwwwwwww sorry but this deserved a :hugz: you had it comin’ :stuck_out_tongue:

well i have four brothers and one sister who is 7 years younger. i only have a few close girl friends. i have lots of male friends/acquaintances and very few female ones.

its not that i'm not girly but the dynamics of a group of women, i can do without. the couple of times i've hung around my best friend with her girl friends (she's very versatile), i was bored senseless.

I have 3 brothers & I'm the only daughter but never do i have any problems interacting with any gender. How is that linked?

Re: Are there any women here who only have brothers.........

this is exactly how i am, i relate so much better with men. in terms of love i don't get them but in terms of friendship or just getting along with a man is much easier for me. even the profession i chose has mostly all men and it goes so smoothly at work but like you said it is a bit difficult to be around other women, i don't get some of them. i'm guessing it's b/c i only had all male cousins and all brothers(awesome ones) so even if i did have one or two good female friends in every phase of my life, i feel like i don't have what other women have, i feel so different from them

i guess in a way looking at some of the mean sil threads, i'm very grateful that i got one that i get along with. there is a God :D

Re: Are there any women here who only have brothers.........

i don't know but growing up the only sole female cousin i had was stuck up and arrogant so i've seen female friendships as temporary after high school, it might just be my situation. well, question answered.

i tended to always have more male friends in high school, college and even now. men seemed easier to understand except in the areas of romantic love.

Non-woman company is usually drama free unless he is an Arab and you are discussing politics or religion :smack:

Re: Are there any women here who only have brothers…

I always wanted to ask this, but I was afraid of people telling me to leave them alone. Its kinda annoying to read without any break.. and “v ll” and “v knw”. Does it take a lot of effort to type the whole thing with periods and commas? :konfused:

Re: Are there any women here who only have brothers…

I’m the same.. my best mate is a guy.. I’ve not got a sister and I’m not that close to my female cousins and other relatives either..

Re: Are there any women here who only have brothers.........

I grew up with two brothers. Best thing ever! I never missed having a sister b/c they both take such good care of me, always supportive, encouraging, and hardly ever get irritated on little things. I love them!

Re: Are there any women here who only have brothers.........

I get along with girls too. It doesnt matter whether I am around boys or girls, if the other person is respectful and has good manners, I will get along with him/her.

Re: Are there any women here who only have brothers.........

Hmm. I started thinking about girls I know...within my age range...and some of my students who are "only daughters"....and they don't seem to have any difficulty seeking company/connecting with other females...maintaining friendships with other girls. I'm not trying to be mean....I think that it might even be too simplified to say that it's the structure of the family that accounts for this. I find that there are few people in my life that I count as true friends and that I can trust...and I think that's the case with many people. Sometimes people are just not compatible and that's okay. Maybe we might be doing something....unintentionally....that's putting others off. Or perhaps we're putting up with certain behaviors from the other person and not realizing it. Or maybe it's the OTHER person who has issues (be it jealousy, insecurity, prejudices). There can be other factors besides family structure.

Re: Are there any women here who only have brothers.........

i never said i dont get along with other women i said that i have two close offline friends that are women but dont have the loads and loads of close ones that other women might have. i thought it might be b/c growing up i had all male cousins/brothers but it was only a question.

looks like you also only have just a few women friends that you see as true and trustworthy friends so how is it is so different from what i have. women do tend to compare themselves to each other it's natural and i do feel like since i have such awesome brothers and some close male cousins that i can connect better to men in some aspects.

this wasnt a problem that i was presenting for you to solve or analyze.... please dont, it was just a question that i was wondering about.

the sex and city type of strong,close, foursome female friendship(they're much much older than most of us) is probably not as common even amongst other women.
