No, I'm NOT flattered, sister

No, I'm not suddenly going to be your best friend because there's a new girl on the block to gang up on. This is why I had very few female friends in high school. I saw them all backstab each other, kiss and make up only to get in another fight again. Their friendships were based on common enmity. It's the norm to feel relieved to finally be accepted when a new "threat" to their self image moves in, but it's not MY norm. I'm not threatened by new. I'm more likely to reach out to her in friendship, take her under my wing. If I come to hate her attitude or actions, it'll be on my own terms and I STILL won't want to be friends with you. If you "win her over"; I've probably already tired of her dependency and will be happy. You just got more of you at no loss to me. I suppose that's why at our senior banquet a class apology was read addressed to me. They never could turn me.
Ha! Like my daughter stated for herself the other day; "I have NOT been broken!".

The thing is; it's almost always about men. New girl in school is "fresh meat" for the guys who want to make the girlfriend jealous, competitive types to compete over, nerds hoping one for them may have finally arrived. Every new girl gets the attention as potential projection material for all their fetishes. The man in my present scenario? He views us all as daughters and we all know that "Daddy's little girl" syndrome. He's just got that sincere protective, nurturing about him. If you're in need of a daddy, he's great material. I'd definitely recommend him and wouldn't ridicule a grown woman's need for such as him. Way too much wounded feminine to go about depriving one another of a good male figure. I'm just not in the market for one; I dadied myself. I'm in the market for peers with mutual respect and appreciation for friendship and support as equals.
