On Girl Talks & Guy Bashings

by Sasha Manuel on April 26th, 2007

I’m quite certain that most, if not all, women have engaged in conversations that are filled with “girl talks” and “guy bashings” — somehow, it can be said that it’s quite a normal occurrence. Guy bashings occur when, of course, there’s bad blood between exes. Girls vent out their frustration to their friends and basically diss the guy, hence, the name. It’s probably developed during pre-teens and was nurtured all throughout the female adolescent life. Though, the question is, do women grow out of them?

In my personal opinion, some do and some don’t. It only varies in intensity and frequency. Some women still see the importance of conversing with fellow women and find joy in sharing bits of their personal life with them. Some women tone this sort of things down with age and tend to focus more on other things like career and such. Another thing that I also observed is that the things that the girls talk about moved on from shopping, crushes and boyfriends to housekeeping, kids and husbands — but, of course, that’ll depend on what really brings them together to talk.

These are behaviours of the female gender, which is quite active during their dating phase. They’re carried over to when they get married and still maintain close ties with other women friends. Like I said, either they mellow down or continue to rage on.

Sometimes, I do wonder if the girl talks and guy bashings become too addictive for some that you might think them so negative and bitchy about the opposite sex or, worse, their own. Have you ever encountered someone who can’t seem to stop jabbering about a past love or re-telling how an ex-friend betrayed her? Have you ever wondered if there’s too much girl talk and guy bashing going on that the time you spend with the group (or with just that person) is not healthy anymore?

Sidenote: I thought I’d inform the guys aren’t still in the know about this sort of things. Guys, there’s no need to worry. The worst thing that can happen is you’d need to see a shrink after experiencing it. (Kidding. Kidding.) ;) :mrgreen:
