When you're a little kid, everyone is your friend. There are not very many people that you come across that you dislike. Usually, the only confrontations you have with others are over your peers not sharing their candy or not letting you have a turn on the swing at the park. As you grow up, though, your "friends" list starts to thin out. You kind of start to have a certain friend group, resulting in a few close friends.

As I grew up, I played a sport so most of my friends were my female teammates. However, as I got older, I started to gain more guy friends than girl friends. Everyone gets over the "cooties" phase at this point.

I had, and still have, female and male friends. However, I spend most of my time with my guy friends. And I have a perfectly good reason for this.

Honestly, girls are drama.

Growing up, there was just so much drama all the time, especially in the middle school and early high school days. Boys and dating are starting to become a big part of our lives, which is like the main source of the drama.

Also, there's so much gossip. If I make a girl friend mad, she'll most likely talk to other girls about it, which causes this big circle of gossip, whether this was her intention or not. That's how rumors get started though.

It's also really easy to cause an argument or fight with other girls. Sometimes saying things will just set them off. Obviously, I'm a girl, so I understand that giving me attitude is going to annoy me. However, I'm going to tell you straight-up that I don't need your attitude. I'm not going to give you the silent treatment for days or cause a big falling out.

I'm not bashing females. I'm a female, and yeah, I've probably done some of these annoying things before. Over time, though, it gets old. All that drama is just so unnecessary.

There's just so much less to deal with when you hang out with guys.

There's no drama and no gossip. The guys just sit around and chill. They will tell you when you irritate them. They will tell you how it is, while most girls won't.

Like I said, I still have girl friends. I don't just hate females. Everyone has their flaws, and no one is perfect. I just had to cut out the drama once I entered college and that left me with more guy friends than girl friends.
