I work in an all girls school...we have an all female staff!! I have 2 DD’s...so the only male I talk to on a daily/weekly basis is my DH!!! Anyone else? I find it odd that I have just realised this!!🤣🤣🙈

haha i'm the opposite - only girl in my workplace & most of my friends outside of work are also male - I have maybe 1 female friend haha!

I don’t think it’s strange.
The only male i ever talk is my dad.
Like few said before, i don’t want male friend either.

The only male I speak to regularly is my DH and family members. Occasionally I'll speak to dads at the school or passing conversation with the staff in my local shop, but other than that, no. I'm not looking for male friends for the sake of it.

I also love being older and unattractive because you can have relationships with guys without worrying about mixed messages.

you can have good relationship with the opposite sex at any age

One of the best pieces of advice my parents gave both my brothers and I: have friends of the opposite sex. It stops you seeing them as purely sexual or romantic partners, they aren’t these strange and hard to understand creatures so different from you, and in terms of straight women having male friends in particular, it gives you far higher standards for relationships because you know that most men are decent human beings.

A few of my good friends are male former colleagues. We work in a specialist field so have lots in common. It's completely platonic & DH meet them with their wives. I think I would find it odd to not have friends of both sexes.

So many of my male friends don't have any female friends outside of acquaintances and the partners/wives of their male friends. One of my best mates is a girl I used to live with (no romantic history) and I'm still really good friends with her - get on with her fiance too who had no issues with us meeting for drinks etc.

I think I'd miss having her as a friend as it's so different from talking with my male friends.

Does this not worry you? Surely it skews your view of the world
Do you need a man to guide your thinking then? Most people can manage just fine on their own.
