the opposite sex and parents

why is it that (generally speaking) guys have a harder time telling their parents about female friends… than gals do about talking bout male friends? even though gals have more of a chance of getting the following questions…

‘is he interested?’
‘are u interested?’
‘where’s he from’
‘what does he do?’
‘how many brothers and sisters’
‘how long has he been here?’

...

sadzz, good observation.

I find girls to be more sincere and honest about their feelings and relationships. Whereas guys are mostly into a gal just for the fun of it. Thus girls are more likely to talk seriously to their parents about a male friend. Guys are never sure of what they want. We are more confused than our counterparts.

it's either a case of indecision or insincerity.

hey there...

thanx funguy.. yeah i find it interesting that guys tend be that way.. sometimes i think that us gals just do it for a gossip.. but then on the other hand i think i do it cus id rather my parents know who im calling up.. who im going out with (as in not on a date thing).. instead of them questioning me laterz... i guess trust comes into it as well..

a male friend of mine doesnt know how to tell his male friends that he talks to a girl.. its halarious.. when im on the phone with him and his friends are around... hes like 'ek bacha phone par hai..'

brisbane.. how are females baghairat? cus we can own up to a pure relationship? we dont have to hide behind lies? Please explain (pauline hanson style)

If you don't like the opinion then feel free to explain your viewpoint.

I don't know any asian guys personally, so I have no opinion. Girls aren't always that honest as far as I can tell, there are bad apples in every basket and they all seem to have been thrown in my direction. :p

Although I do think funguys post is probably closest to the truth.

Care to elaborate ?

I've usually been very honest with my mom about all my male friends. I tell her what they do, where they are from, how old they are, etc. I also found that when some of these male friends found out that I told my mom about them, they found it amazing. They were very surprised that I was candid with my parents. I dont know why.

My brothers are also quite open with my parents in telling them about their friends, girls or guys.

I think its best that way, to keep an open channel of communication. This way parents dont feel left out, and children can get great tips from parents to tell their friends, when the friends need advice. smile

i dont understand the question. I dont think i will have any problem telling my parents.

yeah my males friends are suprised as well that i can tell my parents bout them... its wierd i guess for them but i find it so normal... although my bro gives me a shifty look if he finds out im talking to a guy...

gamma.... the question was.. why do some guys have trouble telling their parents about female friends... not girlfriends or potential wives.. just friends.. :)

I can’t remember how many times girls from my school called my house, then talked to my Mom and got me into trouble. :grumpy:

^ :hehe:

ahmadjee never borrow money from girls when u dont intend on paying back :slight_smile:

my parents were comfortable with the calling of girls and even with the classmates visiting my home....
although my mom never let us alone....
