Boys better mates?

I've just spent a fun weekend away playing fun board games and card games and group role playing games while being the only girl in the room. To be completely honest, this is where I'm truly at home, even though some games it may take a while to explain rules to me after a few drinks but nonetheless I got right into the swing of things. Which made me realize that the majority of my best friends are in fact guys. I don't know what it is about girls having guy friends, or vice versa, but most usually come to the conclusion that:


  • Guy with loads of girl mates - must be gay
  • Girl with loads of guy mates - must be a whore, or a lesbian
I for one do not believe this for one bit. In all truth, I have gone from having loads of girl mates to barely having any, because I simply cannot stand drama. I hate it. My sense of humor is usually matched with guys too. I make gross sex jokes, innuendos, and often take the piss like a guy would to a guy mate. I do have close girl mates but I only really see them at group meet-ups and outings. I used to have the one on one outings, but I think I have lost too many close girl mates to random drama that I have given up. I still barely talk to my best friend over something trivial as making everyone late to an event. The full details are boring and pointless, and a simple "I'm sorry" won't let them get over it, so I'll just let children be children.

Which brings me to my weird thinking moment. If most of my friends are guys, and I get along with guys more than girls, why do I live with only girls? And will possibly be living with only girls next year for university as well? I don't really know how to explain this, as I'm pretty much the guy of the household; My room is a tip, my wardrobe is a tip, I'm lazy as hell, I occupy the living room to play video games, and leave cleaning to the last minute. ALWAYS. But still a girl at heart, I take nearly an hour getting ready for a night out (even for university even!) and usually find myself planning my daily outfits in advance. I suppose I just like the best of both worlds. If only I could grow an awesome beard like my guy friends.
