I'd never thought about it that way but it really is true. I don't have the kind of fun memories with my friends like my guy does. He looks forward to his card night, or going to ballgames with his buddies. I honestly don't know what I consider fun. I must start creating some!

Playing some of the games boys do is fun, and should be encouraged in girls.

very good and very true---even when I was a doormat I enjoyed sports and sometimes during break after lunch I would play basketball with the boys---I loved it and so did they--sometimes the other girls tried to join in and other times I was teased or whispered about by the girls. I never understood it.

It can get harder to find girlfriends who like to have fun, but they're out there! I've had to make some new friends. Some are a bit younger than me. But we do have fun!

I've had my most fun with girlfriends but it's very hard to find girls who want to have fun.

When I was in my 30s I gave myself a roller skating party and invited all my grown friends. SO FUN! Just like the kids.

I feel blessed that my post was beneficial auntie! In my book, All Men Are Jerks Until Proven Otherwise, my motto is if you want a man, get a life! it's a lovely, fun place to be in.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing Wendee. I live that way now--doing things on my own, traveling the world, having fun. That's why I'm trying to teach others about this as I'm so deliriously happy!

I'm going to post again on this topic next week. Stay tuned!

Great post! I love to have fun and do crazy things, but it's true I rarely do them with girlfriends. I do them alone (or sometimes with my kids) - go to the park and swing, do cartwheels, travel around the world... interesting food for thought.

This was such a timely post for me! After recently breaking off an engagement and calling off my wedding, I've begun to realize that what people have been telling me all these years is true: you have to be complete on your own first; if a man comes along after that, then that's great but if he doesn't then...oh well! I never really believed it until the last couple months, but once the lightbulb went off, I've really been struggling to find ways to bond with my girlfriends. It's been a little discouraging, but your words today have reinspired me to try harder, dig deeper, and rediscover the little girl inside me that used to play in the sandbox and do cartwheels in the backyard with her friends.
