So…
Here’s my problem.
A girl can have girl-friends, and boy-friends.
A girl can have pals, buddy’s chum’s friends, and lovers…
As a man in his early forty’s I have an issue with some of the conventional names men use for their close associates.
When I have a female friend what should I call her? There are times when I want to relate to another person the gender of my friend because it is relevant to the situation. Do I call her a “Girl-Friend”.
Do I have to make those ridiculous quotation marks up in the air with my fingers for the intent to be understood?
Try using the term girl-friend when talking to a woman you’re interested in…It isn’t going to help the cause…
So what other term can I use?
Sometimes I want a woman to talk to and get her perspective and advice. Do I call her my confidant?
Sometimes I want a female version of myself just to hang out with. Do I call her a crony?
Some times I just like having a beautiful woman on my arm. Do I call her an accessory?
I have the same sort of issue with my male friends…
I don’t like the term bud, or pal or bro…I absolutely refuse to use the word dude.
And you can imagine the looks I get when I use “Boy-Friend”…
So what’s left…???
ARGH!
