1. If you haven't ever bothered to look for people who share your interests that aren't in your immediate vicinity, that's your own fault.

2. Most people may fall in line with SOME traditionally gender-based interests, but almost certainly not all. "They don't share MY interests" is not the same as "They have ONLY girl/boy interests".

3. If you only have a single interest that you use to gauge your friendship compatibility with someone, again, that's your fault. Also, I don't know where you live, but no matter how few people live near you, you obviously have access to the internet. Lots of women on the internet play video games. It's not hard to find some.

There's a point where you actually have to do SOME work to make friends. If you're only interacting with the people life has situated around you, then sure, you may have problems. But that's stupid in the internet age, and it's also can't be applied to Lily Allen, because she's a celebrity and she meets tons of people all the time. You guys don't live in bubbles.

Yeah, I don't really count "internet friends". Because no matter how much you think you know that person you met on tumblr who is totally an awesome girl, they may not be. It really isn't that hard to fake shit on the internet.

And meeting a lot of people does not mean you actually get to know them. Do you have intimate conversations with every person you are introduced to?

And of course I have more than a single interest. Do you want me to name every fucking one in a comment? Because it may take me a while to write them all up. I was just using video games as an example.

Some of the best LOCAL friends I have? I made on the internet.

I hang out with them outside the internet all the time, but it doesn't mean I didn't meet them on the internet 9 years ago.

That only works if your internet friends happen to be local, though. I have loads of internet friends, but of them, only about three of them live close enough to me to make hanging out IRL at all feasible.

Growing up, I did not have the internet. I did not get the internet until I went to college. My childhood home (very rural) still has no internet available.

But...you're...on the internet now?

What? We're supposed to go OUTSIDE of our life to meet people?

And Lily Allen meets other celebrities all the time. Don't think she doesn't have her own social bubble.

I don't know why you're so offended by anon's friendship choices.

You have to literally go outside of your life. You must use telepathy to send your consciousness to another plane of existence. This is where you will find your female friends.

Apparently the person above you does not understand how similar people can be in small towns and such.

What if AYRT has friends, but those friends just don't happen to be female? Should AYRT start searching high and low for female friends just to fill some quota and prove some point?

(Anonymous) 2014-03-19 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
mte. Why is it anon's "fault" for not having female friends? If the people she found in her life that shared her interests happened to be men, why is she now required to go out of her way to find female friends? What's the acceptable ratio of male vs female friends?
