I am one of the most girly-girls I know. I
adore make up. I’m buying new dresses all the time. I’m pretty much the only
girl I know that loves pink and I’m obsessed with my hair.
And yet I find it incredibly hard to form
close friendships with girls. I have a wonderful relationship with my sister
and my group of just three girls at home mean the world to me. But other than
that girls just do not seem to want to get to know me.
So at university this year I have lived
with 4 boys and 1 girl and spend most of the time being the only girl. And I
hate it. So here’s why.
1. Boys
are rubbish with helping decide outfits. (I have one exception to this)
2. They
don’t understand if I talk about make-up. Or care.
3. Same
with my hair.
4. I
have no one to dress up with.
5. I
can’t moan about feminine things like time of the month.
6. Girls’
night just doesn’t exist.
7. Everyone
assumes you’re with one of the guys, a lesbian or a slut. None of the above, it
just so happens they’re boys.
8. Constant
football and gaming talks. I don’t mind watching or going for a kick-about or
playing a couple of games on the X-box or play station, but I can’t talk about
them 24/7.
9. Boys
generally aren’t as clean. How about you wash up before you leave for the
weekend?
10. They
don’t appreciate my Sex and the City references.
11. They’re
not great with advice. Pretend listening they’re generally quite good at.
Despite
all of these, I wouldn’t change my friends for anything. It would just be nice
to have more of a balance.
