Do men do this too? Is this common behavior for most women or not? The funny thing is that I'm not young, and neither are any of these women who I'm talking about, and yet they act like love struck teenagers when they find a new guy!
I've been married a long time, but I've never ONCE ditched or ignored a friend at any time in my life! So I don't get this at all. Are friends just not that important to some people? These women will often ignore my calls, emails, and texts at times, but they'll respond to a guy right away and obsess over why a guy isn't returning their calls.
They'll even ignore most of a movie to text a guy! Sometimes they'll talk about a guy way to much, and it's really annoying! I try hard to not show that I'm annoyed when this happens! I'm always happy for them of course, but enough is enough sometimes!
Even my bff called me past midnight once and I thought the call was an emergency based on how she complained about me not picking up the phone on my v.m. So I called her back and I found out that she was freaking out about some lame guy and panickig about why he didn't text her back yet. WTH?
I try to be patient and put up with their nonsense, but it does irritate me and since there isn't anything I can do about this behavior other than to give them good advice on how to tell when some stupid guy is playing games with them. I think that some of my good advice helped my two current best friends decide to dump at least one loser guy in the past-
Has anyone else had issue with female friends like this? Is this normal behaviour for women in general of not? If so, why do some women act as if their friends don't exist most of the time when they get a b.f?

with me being a guy, i can't say why some women do this..but to answer your question about do men do this too, the answer is absolutely! i have several guy friends that when the get into a relationship they DISSAPEAR! almost like magic, stop answering the phone and everything, now i admit i am guilty of this too, but like some of the other posters said after the "honeymoon phase"
it tends to taper off, i don't get too upset about it..but when we get together i do like to tease them about it! hee hee
