Men vs. Women

"I think the hardest part of being a woman is having woman friends." -From the movie, How to Make an American Quilt Aging Manversus Aging Woman
As far as I can remember, I always had male friends. They were easier to play with, talk to, and not to mention pick on. I never had any female friends until I reached college or high school, no I am right, college. Even to this day, I think that I would rather hang out with the guys more than girls. I can't explain why, but men seem more fun. When I am around my brothers-in-law, it's great because I love the way they argue over the weirdest, stupidest, and funniest things. Watching sports with them is the best, too because I love the way they get frustrated when their team is either losing or behind by many points.
I didn't have my first crush until the summer of my sixth grade year. There was a guy that I hung out with all the time. I would help him with his paper route, watch movies with him at his house (without anyone there and didn't care what my Mom thought of it), and even go to the parks just to play. To be honest with you, I think that he also liked me too or else he wouldn't have put up with me all summer not to mention let me watch movies and play video games at his house without anyone there but him. He moved that summer and boy did that break my heart. Surpsingly though, I didn't cry and I moved on pretty quickly after he left.
Even working with men can be better than working with women because in some ways, women can be catty; want to compete with you when they see that you can do more things than them or make up things that aren't even true just to get you in trouble. I have also found that women aren't that confrontational about things. Men, if they have a problem with you, they will lay it on the line and not hold anything back. Whereas women talk to other women about that one particular woman that they can't stand and be nice to your face.
What got me to write about this you ask? I guess it's because I get along with Sean more than Lori and not to mention the fact that it's something to write about other than work. Well, I need to get going. I am hungry and I also need to fold my laundry too. Until the next post, have a great night and God Bless!
