Narps Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Losing weight is difficult. And such a slow process, if you do it right. It's hard to bang your heart against some mad buggers wall someone that doesn't believe you.Here are some of my opinions.... It can be difficult losing weight. It gets harder as you age. You need to eliminate medical reasons that may prevent you from losing. Not every diet works for each individual. You have to find one that works and once you start seeing results, you have to stick to it. Something has to spark you to make it your top priority. You learn what patience is about and don't beat yourself up when you stumble.As for the topic, I think I'm more of a guy's girl. I didn't wear a wedding gown when I got married (just a dress), no veil either. I like pro sports which most guys do also. :goodone: ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I have so many questions...may I ask away? A few of you ladies have hit on something I think will lead to a deeper place.Screw it--here are the comments that stuck out to me: 1) It's much easier for me to have a conversation with a guy than with another girl--WHY?2) Women tend to be very competitive and judgmental in comparison--WHY?3) Have no time for the cattiness that so many women seem to indulge in--I don't have to ask why. That kinda shit gets old fast Is it your opinion that women competing for the attention of males, or just attention? Is there an underlying control thing going on? I think males are a huge reason why. Case in point: a friend of mine is a school teacher, and has said that when she teaches a roomful of girls, they all get along well, but as soon as the room becomes mixed, they start acting up. Girls are very insecure in a lot of ways and I think they are always afraid they will never be "the one" for the guy they have their eye on, and the competition causes jealousy. I would say in my own opinion that girls are raised to be "proper", to act a certain way, to toe the line of decency with everything. Many girls, because of this, don't learn to properly socialize with others. Think about it, you can't play because you can't get your dress dirty, talking a certain way isn't "ladylike", etc. Always have to mind your behavior, looks, etc to meet with society's approval. All work and no play makes Jackie a dull girl. That's not the kind of person I wanted to be. So yes, I always related better to males. I loved the freedom boys seemed to have. Almost as if they were expected to be a little wild, and that was ok because they were boys. So I grew up loving sports, cars, rock and roll, etc. A tomboy, but content with who I was. I will agree that as women get older, the catty behavior tends to decline quite a bit. But man, those younger years.....yikes....I'd be scared to have a teenage daughter! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umoveme Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I guess I don't fit into a category regarding this.stuff. If you're a genuine, funny, cool person, I'll be friends with you. My closest "best friends" are women, but I identify with lots of dudes too. I'm equally comfortable with both. Both sexes can be shallow and mean. Men and women just go about it differently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anima Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I don't relate easily to women who want to spend all their time with women, or men who want to spend all their time with men. I'm comfortable with people who are just themselves and not hung up about gender stuff all the time. Or age, come to think of it. I hadn't really thought about it before, but only one of my close friends is female, straight and about the same age as me. All the others are male and/or gay and/or at least 10 years older or younger than me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple of close friends that are within a couple of years of age of me, but most of them are 10 years or so older or younger. They're also very eclectic and geeky for the most part.

What's interesting is that my wife is NOT a "hang out with the girls" kind of woman..she actually HATES "girls night out" when she has to do it for "political" reasons! She has a better time hanging out with me and my male friends (or her male friends...heck, in fact her best friend is a Dr. she used to work with who lives out of state) or at a college football game during the season! Personally...besides the guys I dive with, I always had more fun hanging with the ladies I worked with as opposed to the guys because it was more fun as opposed to "whoa check out those babes!" (with all married guys who technically weren't going anywhere) and drink a shitload of (cheap) beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boots Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) If by a guy's girl you mean the girl that guys talk to when they're insecure and can be friends with but nothing more. That's why so many of my roommates have been male. Edited December 5, 2015 by Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why so many of my roommates have been male. No, that's not exactly what I meant by "guy's girl": A "guy's girl" is a girl who gets along very well with men, often more so than with women. Since Rush is thought of as a "guy's band" who don't have that many female fans I'm wondering if the females here think of themselves as guy's girls versus girly girls? I know I am definitely a guy's girl, and have been all my life. Sure, I wear dresses and makeup sometimes, but I also have male friends, ride motorcycles, listen to a lot of "guy music", and try to steer clear of fashion magazines and celebrity anything.
