    Default How did all my girlfriends turn into old yentas?

    I had dinner with my girlfriends of 10 years tonight. Two hours of talking boyfriends, marriage, and babies.

    I had enough when one girl asked the other if her boyfriend was "from a good family." It was worse than 2 hours with my mother.

    Who the hell giggles on and on about how all of our "men" have normal first names? They were also associated my fuck-buddy as my man, which irked me.

    I really enjoy the Stripperweb girls much more than these fuddy duddies. Alas, they are good girls, and good influences on me. I would take a bullet for several of these girls, they mean a lot to me.

    This evening really marks why I think most women are boring.....

    God that would drive me nuts. The women in my family and close circle of friends (even the married w/kids ones) don't even do that crap for longer than 5 minutes; we just sit around and talk about how much we hate the president and tell dirty jokes. Some women are chicks and some are hens. You spent the night with hens, and you're a chick.

    I don't know. It sounds boring when you say it... but my roommate and I get hours of amusement out of acting out our pets internal monologues. Or dialogues if we are feeling ambitious.
    On Friday, for something wild and crazy we gave the cat a theme song. If I could, I would sing it to you.

    Seriously. Hen parties drive me nuts. I had friends like that but we don't really talk much anymore; we don't have anything to talk about. I used to think I didn't like female friends at all until I found a few that weren't like that... I like the hen/chick metaphor, that's a good one!

    A few years back, my cousin dragged me to a Tupperware party.

    I then decided I would commit suicide if the high point of my evening was ever anything like that- other bitches and kitchen ware.

    Be my pal- my feral boyfriends will teach you how to hunt and we'll drink beer and have an orgy in the snow!

    Well, my point was more that some things that sound absolutely retarded when you explain are really very amusing at the time.

    It starts out like so:
    I tw-twitch it to the east...
    I tw-twitch it to the west...
    I am the kitteh
    Who twitch-es the best.

    You have to understand that our cat is unusually angry and twitchy. And at the end of the chorus she gets a "me-ow" and we push down the part between her eyes so she's all frowny and ghetto.

    Hey like I said - it sounds retarded. But we laughed and laughed.

    That sounds great to me, actually. Me and my roomate used to do that with our cats as well!

    We also made up our own language, and would speak in it in public, combining it with russian and spanish.

    thisis why i have few, ok one girlfriend. They so dull. Even hinting that you think sex is super important in your life marks me out as a deviant!
    I dont want to talk about shoes all day and watch dirty dancing with a tub of ice cream and a glass of chardonnay, slagging off men!!!
    I thought the girls at my club might be more fun, but they just dull too and dressing room banter consists of painting the garage or what live in boyfriend is doing at work! Yawwwwwwn!

    I know the feeling-some of my friends who are married with children don't have lives anymore and all they talk about are their kids. These are girls I used to have a blast with and drink and party with all the time.

    Now, I'm not saying that if you don't drink or go out and party, you're boring. But I know moms who are fun, still have social lives, and have other things to talk about besides diaper genies, recipes, and little Johnny's soccer game. Being a mom or a wife doesn't mean you have to turn into a frumpy soccer mom.

    Plus some of them nag me about when I'm going to quit stripping, get married, and have kids. Now these girls don't have a moral issue with stripping, but they think it's frivolous and something to be done when you're 18 and then you should quit once you find a good man. They think I'm too old for it at 29 and that I should get a respectable career (in their eyes) so I can find Mr. Right and have babies. Whenever I say I don't want kids, they tell me "Oh, you'll change your mind." Nope, I don't think so.

    I love raunchy sex talk and dirty jokes too! But when I talk about that kind of stuff around some of my female friends, they get all embarrassed. I feel like I have to tone myself down and that I can't completely be myself around them sometimes.

    This is why me and the hubby have 1 couple that we are friends with and I have 2 other female friends. That's all.. It sucks, but all my beer drinking college friends have become June Cleaver.

    I want a few good friends that I can party with, talk politics, watch football and drink a few beers with, and occasionally take shopping. And yes, sometimes I like to go out clubbing.

    Oh, and why is everyone so insane to go shopping with lately?? I don't wanna spend 3hrs looking for the right shirt. I used to hit the mall with my college friends and we would spend 30 min tops and both get an awesome outfit, then goof off in spencers, get a coffee, run around laughing at the really crazy shit you see there (including the local transvestite who always hung in the food court), and maybe get a manicure, or makeover, or some cool earings, or an astrology book or something fun, then head home.

    Sadly, now I have more fun at the mall by myself, or (gasp) with hubby. He is actually really nice to hang out with at the mall. He is like me, if he goes into a store to look, he's out in 5 min.

    I am pretty close to cutting off ties with one of my oldest GFs for this very reason. I'm really tired and saddened by her unwillingness to listen to anything about my life, because she considers it irresponsible, degenerate, or imaginary.* Meanwhile, she's only interested in talking about Broadway musicals, life with her parents, the "It's Just Lunch!" dates she's gone on, and water-cooler gossip from her job, which by nature revolves around people I have never met. We used to be inseparable, but I think we now have incompatible lives.

    Hey Katrine, has your little ribbon-shaped, gender-indicating icon always said you were a boy, or is that a new, ironic thing?






    *I don't know if anyone else is familiar with the phenomenon of New Yorkerism, but it's an ailment that people born and raised in big cities often suffer from. It's characterized by the belief that anything the sufferer has not personally experienced that occurs outside of his/her home city (most frequently New York) is insane, impossible, or completely imaginary. For example, when I mentioned moving to a Hawaiian commune to my parents, they said, "You can't do that. Communes haven't existed since the 1970s. Besides, no one lives in Hawaii. People only go there on vacation." Likewise, when I told the aforementioned friend about my upcoming course in Mexico, she said, "I don't think you can just learn to sail. You have to grow up doing it. It's like speaking another language. You can't learn once you're an adult."

    Anyway, that's a big tangent, but maybe it kind of illustrates how people grow apart, and why I'm a kind of anti-New York misanthrope sometimes. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

    OMG...today my fucking CLIENT started nagging me about still being single and wanting to get married. Is there some disease going around.

    Ok, my mom, my client, and five of my girlfriends should all spend a night hanging out and discussing what issues I have because I'm not married or in a relationship....

    Sheesh, the next person who asks me about my marital status is going to get a wet willy!

    Yenta?

    I don't have many female friends. I don't keep friends well due to some social issues I have regarding my AS, so I have a lot more male friends (since they don't care if you don't call them one in two weeks. I hate the phone.). The last time I got together will all (rather most) or my male-dominated group of friends, we played Risk, then screamed words that would make your ears bleed as we slaughtered each other in Halo 3 multi. They we got trashed. It was great.

    Jesus. Yet another reason I'm glad I live in NYC.

    I hardly know anyone my age there (and even a bit older) who is married and despite stereotypes and lot of women aren't desperate for a husband and babies. Sure, it would be nice, but we're too busy living life.

    My married friends in other places are like what Susan described: their marriages are important to them, but they also have other great things in their lives to enjoy.

    What's even is better is my family doesn't give me crap for not being married or having kids yet, and I'm Latina!

    Keep it in perspective. You're successful and still have plenty of time to get married. If that's what you even want.

    I'm glad I'm still fairly young - none of my female friends have gotten that bad... yet. But if/when they do... ick. Fuck that Tupperware shit and kids' soccer games. It sounds almost as bad as baby fever - like when a girl is expecting and talks of NOTHING else besides the precious wittle baby.

    Haha, that sounds fun. I like made-up languages. But I would love to learn Russian some day... it sounds so beautiful!
