Do you ever notice how easy it if for men to make friends? Does anyone else find this completely annoying???
My hubby, Mr. Jetplane, is an extremely outgoing person, and when you meet him, you either love him or hate him. He's a jokester and some people can take it, others cannot. But that being said, he gets along great with my family and friends. And sometimes that is the problem.
Example #1
Don't they look like life long buddies?
The Jetplanes visited STL for a baseball game and then a wedding. We stayed with my cousin and her husband, J. Mr. Jetplane has hung out with him maybe 3 times. That night you would have thought they were long lost buddies. Mr. Jetplane even helped entertain J's client and his sons that we met up with before the game. His client's son was trying to become an officer in the Navy and got some very bad information from his recruiter and was led to believe some misleading information that affected his ability to get into the officer's program. However, Mr. Jetplane talked to them alot and actually got an email from J's client last week thanking him for the words of wisdom and his son is now excited again about his future.
Example #2
This weekend the Jetplanes met up with my friend Lou and her hubby R who happened to be in Destin this weekend with some friends from ATL. We hung out all day and night Sunday. Mr. Jetplane and R have hung out 3 times, well really only twice since attending Lou and R's wedding really shouldn't count. These 2 are ridiculous together, Lou and I called them Dumb and Dumber, they encourage each other to no end and well... they are just 2 peas in a pod. Unfortunately I have no pictures, but you can imagine 2 grown men, adult beverages in hand on a beach, and dancing in front of the mortified wives. There is a visual for you.
So point of the post... How come women can't make friends like guys do? I know we're catty, judgemental, and just down right bitchy sometimes, but seriously.... what's our deal?
