Bullying and friends

[andrewducker]

This post rang a lot of bells with me. I was bullied a lot by boys (at an all boys school) - and nowadays a large chunk of my friends are female. I don't think it's nearly as simple as that, but I'm intrigued.

I have very few real "friends" nowadays so can't really vote.

I was bullied as a child because I was nerdy.

I had more male friends than female friends in Uni because I was nerdy (and had masculine hobbies).

I don't think the bullying has made any difference to the sex of my friends, but the bullying and large number of male friends have the same cause.

I was bullied, but still managed to develop a pretty balanced misanthropy. The only reason I have almost all male friends is because there just aren't any women in our social circles, close or extended. We've all clustered together is male only groups. Which likely actually means geek only groups, and we just lack any geek women.
