Why I'm not allowing myself to be as vulnerable with women as I am with men ?

what is it I'm reacting with..

interesting new points whilst I'm getting ready for work. There's a 17yo girl I was sharing the shift with yesterday and I noticed how she's in this Very defensive mode with women but so open with men.
I recognised myself there at that age.
But 20 years later and at 37 now, I'm still noticing that, I still am having something that I haven't explored yet with the feminine energy.
Of course it's not that I have found out everything about men, but it's fascinating that, being a woman I still seem to know more about the masculine rather than the feminine energy.

Is it possible you don't trust them and have had a better experience with men?

I find women wonderful, beautiful, and crazy ( in a good way). However if I was stranded in the desert I would want it to be with a man

Interesting thought. Being a man, I will have to pay attention to how I am around men vs women ?

I know very well why in myself. I have a paranoia that if I'm going to be too nice and too friendly with women they might think I'm a lesbian. 😆 I can't help it. I feel like I can't judge well what is the right amount of closeness and distance so I rather opt for distance.

I find the opposite to be true😅
Women rarely interpret friendliness as something more. Unlike men. Just a simple smile is enough to make them think you’re flirting, and they’ll start hitting on you right away

@Nunki Yes but it's a bit different. I guess I try to be politely nice to everyone but wouldn't mind as much if a man misinterpreted my intentions than if a woman would. It doesn't mean that it's something that would likely happen, it's just a paranoia in my head. 😅

Likewise, i am more comfortable with women 🙂

Women are tough on each other. It’s not uncommon for younger women to be more comfortable around men. Men are more straightforward and roll with the punches better. They’re just easier to be around.

The cattiness tends to go away as women mature.

Of course neither statement is meant categorically.

My wife really surprised me one time, after I finished a phone call, by saying something about my conversation with a woman. I asked her how she knew. She said, just by my tone of voice and the way I spoke to her. I was unaware of it until she pointed it out. So, yes, different responses to different sexes.

I think you ( and she) are simply more atracted to male energy, which is, of course, perfectly natural.

How was your relationship with your mom growing up?
greensnacks · 31-35, F
You somewhere along the path, lost trust in women probably.
Nunki · 31-35, F
Do you have sisters?
being · 36-40, F
@Nunki yes, 2

im a girls girl idk
I’ve had some good, loyal men friends, so I know that men who are open to friendship with women can be invaluable.

Unfortunately, I’ve also encountered women who were used to viewing other women as competition, which would make the kind of trust necessary for friendship impossible.

@MarbleMarvel For the majority of men this is sad, but true. 😔
