I was a tomboy and always got on better with men, although since hitting my 40s I have made a lot more female friends. Being friends with men is provocative to other women, whether you want that response or not. Don't tell me Lauren doesn't know this; I sure did. I just can't buy this "don't understand" thing.

So! I think she is playing. I just don't think she is doing it very successfully yet. I hope she gets better at it

Of course we are all going to have our own opinions about this, but I might put this idea too you...

If Lauren does suffer from low self esteem, then she mightn't feel all that close to her female friends. In fact she might pay more attention to those that ignore her, than those that don't.

An outsider, or a friend, might not even notice how much such rejections effect her. Maybe in the outside world she can brush this sort of thing off.

But within the glass bowl of the BB house, where everything is magnified, her true weakness is far more apparent.

Just a thought...
