Members of the opposite sex...

Last night my girlfriends and I went out for a little vino. When I got home from the evening I realized almost 90% of our conversation was about the boys in our lives. How sad is that?? How do they have enough power over us that they monopolize a girl's night out convo. Everytime we tried to change the subject, "boys" somehow snuck their way back in! What bothers me the most is knowing that boys don't still around with their friends talking ONLY about us, so why do we girls do it to ourselves?? This is something I will never understand. I've read almost every book under the sun about it, but I still can't figure it out.  I do know that it feels good when you talk to friends and find out you aren't crazy! We all go through the same thoughts and feelings. We just don't know how to process them very well :(
