So, as many of you know I am addicted to watching vids on YouTube. While browsing around today I found a video a guy I am subscribed to made. It was about how he felt awkward talking to a girl at a bar because the conversation seemed tense versus him talking to the guy on the other side of him where they talked for hours tension free. He raised a good point/question….What is the deal with female/male friendships? Why is it that if a guy talks to a girl people automatically think they want to boink her?

One word for you! JEALOUSY! Pure jealousy. Thats the only reason why men and women cant JUST be friends. Society sees a male/female friendship as the start of something else because they want to boink one of the parties(or both in special cases) and are JEALOUS.

Take it from me, all my life I have found it easier to be friends with males versus females because I click better with males. I have always felt awkward speaking with girls or even hanging out with girls because of the fact I have little in common with them. And before you all jump on the bandwagon about this, I am purely straight just not your typical girl who does her nails and hair and tee hees about boys in the locker room*shudders at the thought*

Essentially, since I was always the one girl in a group of guys the rumors were always there. I have gone to blows with girlfriends, wives, sisters, boyfriends, mothers, and fathers because of this. It was never clear, especially to other females, why I had so many friends that were guys. They all thought it was because I wanted this guy or that guy or vice versa. When in reality I knew and MOST of the guys knew it was just because we had lots in common. Unfortunately, most people (especially significant others) had seen this as me or the guy in question living in sin and having a secret affair in the works.

This to me was fully laughable! Most of the guys I was friends with(yes Ill admit there was one or two that were the exception) I had NO, ZERO,ZILCH, interest in and they had NO interest(at least no admitted interest) in me! But, it happened over and over again…..Joe blow would get a new girlfriend and the fights started because she thought we were an item. I would get a new boyfriend and the same thing would happen. It is just because jealousy is the biggest BITCH in the world when it comes to this foolish assumption that guys and girls can’t JUST be friends.

People like drama, and what better to cause drama than to stir the pot and try to make your significant other lose their best friend of the opposite sex! *shakes her head at society* What is wrong with people? Can’t they open their eyes and see that sometimes what they think just isn’t true and move on? No because humans are animals, animals who are beasts, GREEN EYED MONSTERS who cannot accept things at face value. But, we also have to remember we are all the same just some cannot control this.

Ill admit I’ve been on the other side of the fence too. I let my green eyed monster show it’s face. But, like I just said we are all the same just some of us not to the extreme as others. I can control my jealousy and set it aside. Or if it does get that bad I will ask questions and try to find out the truth and remind myself that what I am seeing and thinking might just be that monster distorting my views on things.

I know I’ve gone on a huge rant about this but this is one of those things that kinda hits home. I’ve lost many friends and been in many arguments because society can’t except that a female and a male can JUST be friends.

And if this didn’t make sense to you….just stick it out my next blog will be more thought out and not so spur of the moment. Therefore, BETTER )

~Yeah I’m a ranting, opinionated lunatic so what?!~
