Depends on the situation. Back in the day, on double dates my best friend and I would excuse ourselves to go do things like touch up lipstick, assess our dates, etc.

They need to talk about something others aren't supposed to hear. 👀 Also to regroup. Also sometimes for safety, if you're at a bar or something.

Cos talk about mens dey likes.

Safety in pairs

Haunted bathrooms are better dealt with in groups

Keep an eye on each other. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer 👀

That's something I'll never understand. I would never want a guy friend to follow me into the bathroom. I remember on a road trip my friend went into the bathroom at a rest stop and though there were other stalls, I waited for him to leave before I went in. It's just awkward and I wouldn't have wanted to talk to him while "going". Girls are comfortable with that kind of thing, I guess.

so the men think we're chatting rather than dropping a #2

It's how we summon a demon.

Well, as we sometimes have periods that match with each other, best friends also have bladders! Didn't you know?

It's also in the hope, in bars, that our men will buy us the next round of drinks whilst we're gone......

But, if you're married to a woman - like I am - that last thing just doesn't happen! Lol!

Company and safety in numbers.

So they can help each other wipe and to enjoy the fragrance of each other's waste. It's like a bonding exercise for them.

I remember when I was in college , my girlfriends wanted me to accompany them so I could hold their purses or their sweaters.

Sometimes places like movie theaters, public swimming pools, school gyms etc, could get really lonely...it's best to have some company around for safety.

thats incorrect... they get peeeing pressure in community.
there seems a safety in their grouping when taking/slipping off panties.... maybe

Idk maybe so nothing happens same thing why guys show up in groups when it's just one person they're fighting with

To talk rubbish about someone who they didn't invite to the bathroom, make up.. if a man does it probably doing drugs.

aren't you a girl though? i thought majority did

Because we feel safer in groups, plus we use the time to talk privately about stuff. lol

Do you really need to ask ?

To compare notes on whatever is happening in their social group at that time.

So they can chat with each other while they are in a quiet place

I always thought it was about safety and gossiping

umm to have girl talk or take selfies? haha i say selfies because my sister comes here with her kids sometimes and her oldest and 2nd oldest seems like ALWAYS in the bathroom taking selfies with the mirror and im like umm some of us actually need to go to the bathroom LOL

safety? maybe?

I've never found out

I don't think I've done unless I'm really drunk and need taking care of.
I see that a lot on TV shows.

I have often wondered this, occasionally asked, and never obtained satisfactory answer.

Cause its more fun
