Do guys need guy time more than girls need girl time?

[aLifeofLove]

This always made me curious...

Why? Because whenever one of my female friends get a boyfriend I never see them as much anymore. I mean obv they want to spend more time with the new romantic part of their life but it's way more common with girls than guys. They get so mad when he needs his time with the guys, like their amazing life just got worse when they parted with their boyfriend. My guy friends get new gfs but they don't crave that time with their new girlfriend as much as my girl friends.

Also I notice more girls looking dramatically different when they have a man in their life. I see this pattern at work, school, and among friends. Like they look better and finally wear dresses, enjoy getting their hair done, etc.

All of this might be a sign of bad self esteem among women generally. I was always told I'll stay happier in the future if I don't let a man be the reason I miss traditional Saturday brunches with the girls, and dress my best whether I have a man or not. My boyfriend and I are really in love and have independent lives as well as a portion of our lives we share together. Has any other girl not listened to their vag and followed these rules?

My question to the BOYS: do you look dramatically better when you get a gf? Do you sacrifice more guy time for her than your girlfriend sacrifices girl time for you?

I know the feeling. I like to see my boyfriend as much as possible, but we don't live together. I usually only see him on weekends. And I always let him go see his guy friends.

I know how important it is to have interests outside the relationship. It helps you develop as a person.

I try to see friends when I have a boyfriend, but it's hard. I try to fit in friend time when my boyfriend is out playing golf or doing one of his other things he likes to do with the guys.

My friends are like that though. they are always with their bf's. It's crazy. My one friend lives with hers and you never see her apart from him when he is off work.

She goes to every baseball game of his even though she doesn't really like going because the other gf's are mean to her. I can understand going sometimes, but all the time, and then basically just living your life according to your bf?

I'm kind of guilty of this, in that my boyfriend occupies most of my weekend. But I do still try to see my friends. I do sacrifice some of my time with him to be with them. But then I don't live with him either so I don't see him much.

I think that depends on how the relationship is and which one is more willing to comply, sometimes girls do just about anything to make things easier on their boyfriends so they just stick with them to which ever place they want to be.

my gfs once they have boyfriend they disappear too, I think guys need more guy time

Yes, we need more guy time. We need time away from the relationship. Relationships are draining for a guy, they are empowering and charging for a girl. We need time away to recharge.

No. Every girl/dude is different. Although I think girls sacrifice more than boys
