I am a very tall, attractive woman. I have no problem meeting men, and I have a steady boyfriend. But I lack social skills with women. I would like a female friend who doesn't wind up as a backstabber. Women constantly ask me my beauty secrets, but almost never invite me to go anywhere. How can I get back in touch with women, instead of having so many male friends?
Alphonzo answers:
I've got the same problem. I get along great with Tony and Bubba and all the guys at the bowling alley, but I never get invited anywhere by women either. Anyway, I'm glad to see you don't think I'm sexist. See, everybody?
Kelsey rejoins:
"Alphonzo" is the first name on the pulldown menu. This is obviously one of those cases where he got picked by default.Kiska, it's easy for you to attract men, because you're good-looking. But you can't expect those same qualities to attract female friends. Friendship is sharing, and caring about another person's welfare. Forget about the beauty tips and develop a sense of humor. Seek out women who enjoy art or music, or whatever you enjoy. Look for other things in common besides looks.
Kauli offers:
Forget men. Forget women, too. Once you've tried a Mekaloony, you'll never go back!
I once saw Vanna White in person!
Ruth adds:
None of my friends are beautiful. (No offense, Dolores.) But we all play bridge and enjoy discussing our surgeries.
