Just not a ladies day out kinda gal.<br />If I ever do things with just the female set I find that I prefer it to be with women older than myself be at least 8-10 years.

Not all women are that fortunate and need groups of women in order to have a voice. <br /><br />I love being with women. . . and men. But I enjoy the drama and nuances and like to see women all dressed up. I like hair and makeup and the smell of different perfumes mixed up in one room.<br /><br />But I get what you are saying. And to your credit, you hide it well. I never suspected.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00062037882359130530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999954624385837631.post-11476023262984793102010-09-20T17:55:11.069-04:002010-09-20T17:55:11.069-04:00I so agree.

I can see why some gals would need it, and sometimes I do just like to drive a while with the radio blaring (ALONE), but I'm no fan of girls' get-togethers. Ladies' Retreats get me all kinda nervous. I prefer "dates" with other couples... The drama you mentioned is the #1 factor for me. And I notice my firstborn has the same tendencies, to avoid the drama at all costs and gravitate toward mixed groups.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16007668779683965884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999954624385837631.post-31898333457016610322010-09-20T16:05:12.217-04:002010-09-20T16:05:12.217-04:00I know EXACTLY what you mean ! =)

I like to have guys around - I guess having 4 brothers has made me that way .. and of course having a great husband/best friend.<br />However, after having seen several insecure, controlling, over bearing and not so nice husbands - I can totally understand the glorious freedom some of these women experience when they get times away just with other women.marionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-999954624385837631.post-82910590850874044452010-09-20T08:32:49.784-04:002010-09-20T08:32:49.784-04:00Nichole is the same way.Nichole is the same way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
