Sisterhood vs. Wolfpack

Post Reply New Topic

By sisterhood, I'm referring to the tight group of girlfriends. By Wolf-pack, I'm referring to the group of guys that hang out and don't turn on each other.

Can you name the advantages and disadvantages of each? I've been thinking to myself "I don't want a Sisterhood when I go to High School, I want a wolf-pack!" However, I feel like the guys might be a bit less accepting of my views. Who knows? I can't stereotype.

This isn't for the intention of stirring up stereotypes, I want opinions merely from experience. Which gender do YOU find more accepting? (I understand that I'm making generalizations here. You can talk about general and specifics if you want)

I can identify so much better with men, but I'm a girl. I attribute that to my systematic brain which is unusual for females. The problem with associating with males is that there's always that possibility that one of them might try to date. I have had that problem before, and I have no interest in dating anyone. My best friend is a girl, but she's the exception. I usually don't like being around girls because I can't talk to them about my interests. I would need to conform to their interests, and I find that to be a nauseating task.

What are the different mentalities that accompany each group (sisterhood vs wolfpack)?

i have found, over the years, that i can relate to the sisterhood better (being male), but many of the 'girly' things (gossip, shopping...) keep turning me away.
i was lucky enough that my highschool offers an introduction week to form your own first social group, and the one i joined just happened to be a friendly/accepting group; some kind of productive combination, a 'wolfhood'; yet still all men.

as for mentalities; the basics are comparable, but in a sisterhood, everything is shared (and i mean *everything*) whereas in a wolfpack the members are merely reenforcing each other, leaving details "implied" and acting like a 'wingman' for the other members; if needed

For me its a mix because I have similar interests to a girl yet I communicate like a guy and Im very systematic. Here's where it gets complicated. Girls tend to bond through connecting and communication and guys tend to bond over similar interests. I find myself sharing similar interests to girls with doing things like crafts, cooking, shopping etc but then emotionally/communication girls find me lacking because I cant relate very well. With guys, they find my communication style less complicated then other females and they often find my "offness" amusing but I dont have similar interests to them for the most part. Socially I can relate to a socially awkward NT guy but guys dont like to talk about their feelings.

How else would one describe the differing mentalities between a sisterhood and a wolfpack.

We got

Sisterhood:
express emotions/talking about feeling
gossip

Wolfpack:
Bonds over interests

I'd rather be part of a wolfpack. Sisterhood nauseates me.

I wonder what other characteristics are in sisterhood vs wolfpack

Klokateer666's Analysis Of The Wolfpack And The Sisterhood

The idea of the wolfpack works better in my aspie mind. Interests are far easier to share than feelings. Not to mention that the sisterhood can easily throw you out if you don't abide by their often unwritten rules whereas a wolfpack looks after its members when they're in trouble.

That's not to say that there aren't positives with the sisterhood. The sisterhood is a lot more understanding when you absolutely need to get something off your chest. Just be careful what you're saying or otherwise you may find yourself ostracised.

So there's my basic summary. Okay, it's not that much of a summary as it is an outlet for expressing my biased opinion on the matter but it should give some information regardless. Make of it what you will.

In general, worlfpack lasts while the Sisterhood doesn't.

A wolf-pack usually ends due to uncontrollable circumstances, such as distance, marriages, change of work/locations...etc

The Sisterhood bond starts unified like the Wolfpacks but usually it breaks down into tribes after a while (sub-Sisterhood 1 vs sub-Sisterhood2 vs sub-Sisterhood 3...), the larger the parent Sisterhood is the more tribes you might have. And oh, usually single girls and taken girls don't last together in the same sisterhood.

Be an eagle; graceful, strong, and looking down on others instead of surrounding yourself with them.
