Well, I didn't mean to stereotype but after rereading it perhaps I was a bit harsh. I'm just going off what I've seen and learned. And when it comes to not knowing how emotional they are, you get a vibe from people. I *had* male friends, but never considered any of them a best friend, someone I could trust or someone I knew I could call at 4am after I got into a car accident or something. I was reflecting on this post this morning and thought to myself that it was unfair, I have had one really good male friend. I guess thats all we can hope for is one or two really good friends. He and I lost contact but I feel like if I called him up he'd be there if I really needed. I just hate going to bars/parties and having like nothing in common with the other guys. I don't care about who won the game that played the day before, I'd much rather be talking about that amazing article in Science Magazine. I need to find dorkier get togethers I think

@psyched - I'm not exactly that young, thats the part that annoys me. I used to think to myself back when I was 18 this type of behavior was laughable, and it would be gone when I was like 21. Now I'm 26, and I'm still seeing it as the norm. I just have to remember that, I did find someone. Just hurts that she's gone now. She can't be the last one in the world I'm attracted to and vice versa.
I guess this post was just kinda out of frustration. I haven't been single in a while and the prospect of trying to find someone new stirred all of this in me I think.
Blah.
