One of the Guys? ?

......................................................................................................

I was talking to my friend yesterday, and she told me that one of her old friends was moving back to run the office where she's working.

They also used to be roomies.

I didn't even have to ask, because I knew-- it was a guy.

ALL of her friends are guys-- and totally platonic, mind you.

I suspect that some of the guys may be attracted to her, but she's engaged-- so it isn't like she's on the market.

She's not.

And some of these friends (obviously) go way back-- they are genuine.

I'm impressed, and a little fascinated, tbh.

I've only known one other Scorp woman well enough to safely say that her friends are also predominately male.

So I'm curious if this is a common theme with Scorpio women: do you find that you are easily accepted as "one of the guys"?

Or maybe you just prefer to hang around men vs women?

If so, do you think it is the Mars energy, or something else?

Thanks 🙂

Being raised by all big brothers, it comes naturally to me. Not only are their friends my friends, but I have a batch of other male friends, and a few close female friends. Women who cackle like hens in the kitchen, drama, and all that crap that goes with is not me. Men hold nothing back and they don't have to act fake. I call all these men my brothers from other mothers. 😉

I have more male friends than female friends.

I can't stay interested in what women talk about, it bores me. 😛

i can relate to this honestly.

In real life only ONE bff...(a cancer sun female)

and the rest are my husband's buddies and of course my husband.

But back then, it was ALWAYS men around me.

I can see this.

When she and I were still in high school, I didn't bring her around my other friends.

Not because anything was amiss with her, but because I knew her eyes would glaze over and she'd just leave anyway.

She wouldn't tolerate frippery of any kind. 😄

lol Yeah-- brutal honesty and "cut to the chase."

Not for the faint of heart, but everything else seems to be regarded as superfluous.

Maybe it isn't Mars at all, but Pluto.

"... there is no doubt that Scorpios tend to function as agents of purging, not only on a personal level but, as the ruler Pluto indicates, on a collective level as well. Scorpios are often blamed for this compulsion to bring issues which are hidden, taboo or poisonous to the surface so that they can be healed."

I can relate to having one good friend (the rest being only acquaintances), but do you have a theory as to why you only hung around men?

Or are you saying that they flocked to you?

If it's the latter, then that isn't really what I'm talking about.

Lots of women have men around them, but it isn't really about friendship.

Thanks, lbeth. 🙂

"Or are you saying that they flocked to you?

-- yeah you're right. it really isn't that then. It doesn't seem like friendship because they usually had some motives. Once they knew i had someone permanent, they drifted. I don't blame them. I mean, why waste your time?

See... I always thought Cap women were more prone to having predominantly male friends.

And yeah, it always sucks when you or one of them starts seeing someone and they distance themselves. Tells me they were looking for more than just friendship. Thankfully hasn't happened often.

Hmm.. I only know one Cap woman, and she has a lot of female friends.

Very popular, very social.

Which translates to Sag placements, imo.

But Scorp women can have (plenty of) Sag placements, too, and can be equally social.

Maybe Pluto ranks high in your chart, cheekyfaerie?

And I just realized who you were.. didn't you used to have a dive-bomber helmet and ciggie?

😕

Moon and rising in Scorpio. A lotta Pluto stuff, yeah. And yes, think I'm gonna hafta bring back Tank Girl. Nobody recognizes me anymore! 😄

Ahh. Yeah, that is a lot of Pluto.

And I like the vodka cup, but that ^ really was a cool avi. 😄

I'm 1/2 girls and 1/2 boys... It was boys more so when I was younger, was a bit more of a tom-boy and couldn't handle girliness.

I have a few libra-scorp-sagi placements though...

Weird. It isn't showing up yet. Dunno about you, but this site hates my phone.

It is now. 😄

Idk i am a scorpio male and i have girls and guys as friends , as long as they have smth interesting to offer , i really do not consider many people my friends just more like acquaintances

I love hanging out with guys but sometimes they are too rude 😢 Still, it feels good to feel like a boy.

i can also relate to this, i have been told many times that i am "one of the guys". for me it is a different energy, a different type of friendship. it's not that one is better than the other. sometimes i feel more at ease around my male friends.

Yep. I like men. I get men. I can be one of the boys with little to no effort. No clue why. Probably because I think like a man.

I guess it is somewhat common, then.
I don't have anything additional to offer, but I appreciate all of your responses.. you too, Lillilou. 🙂

Also

Has anyone read this book by Steven Forrester?

** The Book of Pluto.

I've read excerpts, and I'm tempted to go ahead and purchase.

Good link here on the (possibly androgynous) nature, background, etc of >>> ** PLUTO.

Thanks~

Men make great friends.

Fire sign women make great friends.

Coworkers and air sign women do not make great friends, for fire signs..

Rum n coke is a great friend.

Everyone's crazy, but co-workers and air signs fall into a category all their own.

My co-worker just stopped calling me last week to tell me about his alien sightings.

You need a vacation to look forward to, Wynter. 😄

I've always had more guy friends then female friends. I think a lot like a guy and I was a big tom boy growing up (climbing trees, riding bikes, playing in the dirt, etc). Most girls have always been bitchy and shady towards me, talking behind my back and smiling to my face. I also HATE shopping (mostly for clothes) and avoid it at all costs. Guys are more direct and if they have a problem with you, they tell you, you talk about it or fight about it, then make up and move on.

I have two VERY close female friends, (one is a Cancer sun/pisces moon/sag rising, the other is a Leo sun/taurus moon/virgo rising) and we would all do ANYTHING for each other. They've never talked shit behind my back, they never judged me for my life mistakes, they don't bother me to go shopping because they know I hate it, and they never take it personally when I don't answer my phone, because they know I sometimes just need to be left alone.

So yeah, most of my friends are guys, but the two female friends I do have are incredibly special to me.
