Ladies for friendship

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Sure this has been covered in the forums before (though a search with keywords turns up zilch) but was wondering are there any ladies out there interested in friendships with other women?

Not focussing on anything sexual, just to hang out, meet up for coffee etc and have a good old-fashioned chinwag mainly? As it's struck me that with friends normally on Fab meetings rotate around sexual shenanigans, whilst in "real life" of course Fab is something you can't really talk about either because they're not interested or simply won't "get it"?

As after chatting with her about this today, P would rather like this due to the above and with her not driving concedes that any such friendships would either have to do so (and not mind of course) and/or or be fairly local to her?

I hang out with a few single friends male and female. We go to the club's together and also go for nights out and meals etc . It's great to be able to talk to like minded people.. I think we make one or two people blush that over hear our conversations.. lol

My bf meets the female half of a couple on here....We also met him and her for a social....It was nice as we all got on as friends and didn't stop laughing....There will never be sex between the four of us and even though my bf and his wife have sex it doesn't feel awkward as we don't talk about that in a social sence and we have similar interests....We've been shopping together, Met up for meals and birthday party's....I think if you separate sex and friendship then you can be friends with anyone if you get on x

There and to the left a bit

Lovely idea but why restrict it just to ladies? Or even just same gender friendships - some of my best friends on here are ladies who I have absolutely no interest in "shenanigans" with, nor they me (although I do appreciate that throwing the doors open may lead to some who think "shenanigans" will follow) so it can work all ways round without complications.

Similarly there are a number of blokes I consider friends and would happily (if geography can be overcome) have a beer and a chat with.

I agree with GM. To an extent - because it can feel more comfortable talking openly to some one of the same gender. I really adore the fantastic friends I've made on here - they make me laugh a lot (to the point of almost choking), I can ask them about anal and stockings without them batting an eyelid, I've cried over their kind words, cheered when they've received happy news and supported them through a wide range of things and them I.

I'd love to make more friends but you can't really force it, it either happens or doesn't. But yes, if anyone ever fancies a coffee/gin or just a general chat, my inbox is always open to you.

And P, if you're reading this, I'll take you to the Pie Factory in October. It's long overdue!

Yes I'd be up for that, don't mind travelling anywhere on a train route (within reason, not Timbuktu or the Highlands), daytime quaffee and chat, what's not to like.

My convo tends to similar to my forum posts (zombie dolphins/cooking with my kettle) so do bear that in mind.

Most of my friends are scattered all over the place.

Its something I find quite hard. There is something about me that is very Tribal and yearns for a strong group of friends to lean on and prop up.

Most of my time is spent on the sofa whittering away on here. Making digi-friends but not many physical friends.

I get bored, I am alone, sometimes I get.. but am not lonely.

It's hard making friends as a grown up. I dont have much cash to pursue interests I like, most of which are quite solitary and I cant even be arsed to do those between work and kids.

Sometimes it's nice just to kick back on my sofa, but it'd be nice if I knew someone in this town who dropped in to check if I'm alive occasionally, or a wingman to go to the pub and be a blokey bloke with.

I hear you! Having moved around, my good friends are scattered all over the place. We moved to a small town, then I had a baby and literally knew no-one. It felt like the first day at school going along to baby groups and pretty much saying to people "will you be my friend?"

When you're working full time though, I don't know how you go about making friends except for online. I don't subscribe to the idea that it's not "real life" - of course it is, it's real people sat there at home, just like you, looking for their people. Having been here nearly a year now, I'm starting to get that

Its something I find quite hard. There is something about me that is very Tribal and yearns for a strong group of friends to lean on and prop up.

Most of my time is spent on the sofa whittering away on here. Making digi-friends but not many physical friends.

I get bored, I am alone, sometimes I get.. but am not lonely.

It's hard making friends as a grown up. I dont have much cash to pursue interests I like, most of which are quite solitary and I cant even be arsed to do those between work and kids.

You're not alone P.

You pretty much described me there, other than I don't even make digi-friends and get the impression most people here don't really like me. I do have one special friend though and that'll do me.

why would people not like you?

Who gives a fuck what people think anyway? So long as you're not hurting anyone, or saying really cunty things. Which I don't see you do, no more than the rest of us anyway.

Anyway.. I doubt either of us are short on the odd VERY GOOD FRIEND and that's all anyone really needs. A couple of good eggs in your life who will tell you how it is, when you can't. Even if they're scattered about a bit.

I don't get the idea Mr Moz is disliked at all, but it's easy to see why lack of social contact may give him that idea. That's often the thing though, people can be popular and likeable, but Fab-wise distance and time are often the biggest hurdles, not just for meets but for burgeoning friendships too? I divide my time between a lot of work and my daughter as well as travelling, sometimes it amazes me that I've managed to have a wonderful relationship too, and I count myself lucky for that.

Speaking from my own perspective as a guy, I work a lot of hours in different far flung places. I have workmates of course and one or two left from earlier life that also live miles away, but other than that it's online?

P tends to have a pretty similar situation, minus living with workmates when away of course! So I can understand perfectly well that she misses a female circle and face to face socialising?

In response to all who've messaged above in wanting to make connections with others.

I think this is a wonderful idea and would also love to reach out, enjoy the social side, stories, fun and laughter with other women.

I will be at the MLS, so hopefully this will be the first step in making a few acquaintances.

I ain't afraid to admit I get lonely at times. B works away, and when he is home his time is not only limited but split too. I work unsociable hours and don't have the funds to go out galavanting very often, so something super cheap and cheerful would be ideal.

I’m in that group too. Never seen anyone being anything less than supportive to each other. Lots of pictures of pets and babies and things like that. Rude and funny meme’s and the odd eye roll and advice about abusive messages from fab.Everyone is friends with lots of different people so no one is going to slag anyone off because chances are they are someone’s mate apart from the fact that the group is not for that. I wouldn’t know of any of the other ladies have issues with anyone else on fab because it doesn’t get mentioned.

Ah well, nice thought while it lasted.

I imagine there will have been quite a few, kik, whatsapp or whatever other medium, I'm a member of a few myself so know they often get set up, especially when it comes to planning events etc as it streamlines the whole process?

The problems occur when two people who don't get on get invited to the same group as it has potential to split the group right down the middle which no one wants. No matter who's right or wrong, it's a potential for rifts that in a group generally concerned with banter members of it actively want to avoid.

Such groups also when they get large enough will also have offshoot groups forming, it's natural of human nature with those who find they have more in common with each other, take groups forming from the wider circle of Fab as the most obvious example.

As such I couldn't give a monkey's about it all, it's human nature really, plus I'm the kind that doesn't get involved with inter-group squabbles as life is too short to fill it with unnecessary shit, so long as it doesn't become personal towards myself or those I care about.

Sociologically speaking we all need to get on as much as possible, though it makes sense especially with ladies to have their own groups of between 4 and 6 members, large enough so that each lady has others to support them when 1 or 2 members have too much shit going with work etc, but small enough to maintain that intimate feeling and reduce the likelihood of divisions forming within the group?

What I would like to happen off the back of this thread (and it may or may not, who knows all I've done is what I can to set the ball rolling and as I don't possess a uterus it kind of rules me out in a big regard apart from the odd appearance with Chillout as a naked waiter it seems

) for the general wellbeing of women on here (who are often drowning in a sea of impersonal messages written by complete and utter dickheads with their own scarcely concealed and low-brow agendas, and missing the contact and support from genuine well-meaning others that can almost be taken for granted in most other lifestyle choices or hobbies) including my adored OH is for two things to happen.

1) A kind of all-encompassing group of Fab Womanhood to be set up without exclusion that each lady can refer to when she wants general opinion from her own gender (and of course this affects ladies more than men as the overwhelming proportion of Fab members are guys and any thread posted on the forums even if stated wanting specifically female replies is BOUND to be gatecrashed by blokes, some well intentioned, but others just idiots popping on with some bollocks vague opinion along with their own agenda unmasked; "Can I just say ur fucking beautiful Mmmmmmm..." or such like which isn't usually beneficial at all.

2) Smaller more localised groups of say 4-6 ladies that can meet regularly, support each other and just vent where necessary. They will have more closer contact and understandably be able to share things within their groups that they couldn't do in the General Womanhood one?

It's a known fact that woman place more importance on having a support network than men do (on the flipside it's a good reason why there's multiple times more male suicides than there are female, so it seems blatant to me which sex has a better idea on that score though I'd save THAT issue for a separate discussion) so given how much it matters to them I find the notion that there isn't more of this going on on Fab a perplexing one that is likely to do them more harm than good.

"I’d like to see something similar for the men x"

I think this would be rather cool too. Though harder to set up (as ridiculous a notion as that seems given the huge proportion of people in possession of a pair of bollocks on here) due to the fact that establishing a support network for friendship's sake, NOT merely networking in terms of a career etc, is something that men aren't generally hard-wired to prioritise?

Most friendships with men just tend to HAPPEN through chance encounters and they don't tend to be proactive in this regard at all, they're just often not genetically programmed to do so?

Do I think that this hardwiring should be ripped out and consigned to the dustbin? Of course, men with a good circle of friends are likely to be much more well-balanced, thoughtful and stable as a result. But asking someone to completely ignore their own gender's methods they were either born with or had instilled in them at an early age tends to be difficult to achieve unfortunately.

As such, even men who did manage to join such a group would often subconsciously put it on the "back burner" whilst they focussed on other things in their lives such as career etc. Once on that burner, retrieving it to put more emphasis on it like more women would would sadly be something akin to visiting the doctor's to them and they'd develop the mindset of "Ah, I've got far too much other shit to focus on and I've managed fine without devoting time to it so far, so why give myself that to deal with and have to make space for?"

I know and believe me I think it would help massively, more than most chaps would think. It's something that could do a lot of good and very little if any harm so I'm all for it and you're to be credited for suggesting it tbf. I'd certainly be willing to be part of such a group.

I just think that there wouldn't be as many lads up for it or rather maintaining it as there would women with their own equivalent? Which is unfortunate IMHO.

Rules for being my mate:

Insanity helps, but good insanity not fucked up psycho insanity.

If I think you're being a dick I tell you, and expect the same level of honesty in return

Using the guise of friendship just to get gossip with earn you a punch in the chops.

You can turn up at my house wearing pjs and no make up, I won't judge. You may need to bring your own milk at times tho, coz I pretty much don't but food/drink.

Must like dogs.

I'm up for friendship but I also don't do group chats, I can't keep up and I get frustrated so I mute the chat.

I don't do gossip and probably won't be able to meet for coffee but my inbox is always open and I will support you in any way I can.

I'm here if needed.

Jo.Xx

"There's already quite a big Kik group for fab forum ladies, been going a year or more. I get filled in on the gossip from it every so often so I know you ladies aren't all sweetness and light

Aaaaand this is what puts me off, nicely nicely to your face and in public view on the forum but gossiping snides behind your back.

Ah well, nice thought while it lasted.

Are we talking the c word already? I think you havecto accept that large social groups wil inevitably fragment into smaller ones based on common interests and values. It's not necessarily deliberate, malicious or exclusive. It's just human nature...

Exactly. I've not seen any bitchiness in that group
