Just one of the guys?

I had someone tell me that I"m just one of the guys....in some ways yes and in some ways no. But then I do realize that I get a long with guys a lot better nowadays and I came to several conclusions regarding this. 1.) Guys speak their minds more - I find that most guys (not all) are quite extroverted, they usually just say whatever that's on their minds and they don't care as much of what people think. 2.) Guys are less judgemental- Along with number 1.) I feel like its easier to share about issues and talk about things with them, they just say what they think and you don't get a long pause of nothing. 3.) Guys take things more lightly: there is a difference between the way women and men perceive things. Somehow us women always think more than we ought to. Thinking there is something behind things when there isn't. Guys just laugh it off and move on to the next thing.

I also tend to get along with other women who speaks their minds more. I don't like mind games, they make me feel so uncomfortable. I know that you can't (and shouldn't) display to everyone what you're thinking ALL the time because everyone needs their space. Yet some people just make me feel uneasy for being too quiet or they give you this long look and you have no idea what they're thinking about nor do they tell you.

It also depends on my comfort zone too. I'm cool chilling with my christian guy friends but guys who are non-christian, they can make me feel a little more uncomfortable just by the things that they talk about. Usually though, I'm the most comfortable when my boyfriend is present as well.

But you know, I'm not giving up on women (HAHAHAH) as in friendships. In highschool, all my friends were girls, the guys I found was a little too immature. We were pretty close-nit mostly because we all spoke whatever that's on our minds. Then again, that takes time to develop to that level. I'm starting to see that there are a lot of sisters out there that do have the characteristics that I prefer in my friendships or even a combination of both. I mean, a person can still be quiet and not be judgemental at the same time. (I know an amazing sister like that). And of course there are some things you can only tell the girls about too :)

Heheh...just some interesting thoughts ;)
