Sometimes guys are so concerned with being cool and hanging out with their friends. They don't want to seem like the guy that 'has to call his girlfriend.' It's just boys growing up.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's intimidating for guys to hear women complain about their boyfriends. Guys imagine that girls are thrilled to have them around, and this is what they really talk about.
Honestly, I usually have way more guy friends than girlfriends.
Boys don't like girls around when they do boy things.
It's almost like when you're young, your friends take on the romance role, and then guys take on the role of your friends later.
It's an unwritten rule - girl friends' boyfriends are off limits, even after they break up.
Don't ever call a guy first. The thing they want the most is whatever they can't have. It sounds really juvenile, but it works.
I have a lot of girl friends who are very adept at making friends, and guys are just not.
Guys need attention. They need that nourishment, that little stroke of the ego that gets them by every now and then.
It's important to have girlfriends, because guys tend to come and go.
I never call them 'guys;' I always call them 'boys.' Maybe it's a superiority complex - my needing to keep them down.
