As a woman traveling alone one of my main concerns was with the guys I would inevitably meet. But so far, every guy I met has been great and oddly it's the women I've met that I've had issues with. I´m in Granada right now and it just so happened that three of the guys I went to the bull fight with in Seville are also in Granada, staying at a different hostel. So we decided to meet up. The hostel I was staying at had planned a tapas bar crawl, so I invited them along and as it happened, another girl they had met on their journeys was also at the hostel, so it was all working out. Until I actually met said other girl and her friends and they proceeded to ignore me all night. To be fair I shouldn´t say that they all ignored me. It was mostly one, but unfortunately she seemed to control the attitude of the group. So when she wasn´t around I actually had some pretty great conversations with the others, but when she was around, I pretty much did not exist. For example, there were five of us hanging out, she decides we should all do shots so goes to the bar and comes back with four shots, proceeds to hand them out to everyone but me. And right now, there are two of them sitting next to me, but I don´t really feel like I have to worry about writing this, bc I don´t think they even notice I exist.
On the other scale of the spectrum, every time I´ve met a woman traveling alone, it´s been a great experience. She´s been friendly and up for hanging out. But for whatever reason, whenever I meet more than one woman traveling in a group they seem to not only not be interested in knowing me, but want to make every effort to show that they´re not interested. Women are weird.

women are weird sometimes,
I agree.
that's random though that they just ignored you.
:P
glad you are having fun otherwise in spain. i can't wait to go there sometime! i made a presentation on Gaudi earlier this year.... glad you went to see his park.
later cousin.
you should have gone over the top and bought a round of shots yourself but only 4! either that or put a rattle snake in her bag! ;)
if you can go to a soccer game do!
I'm curious to know more about the bullfight. Was it gory? Did you feel sympathetic to the bull or did you get caught up in the emotion of the crowd? I've heard that the fight seems unsportsmanlike for a variety of reasons, but mostly because the bull is at such a disadvantage.
But maybe I'm just a wimp...
Wow, sounds like the girls some of Jason's friends date! Screw em... you should have bought the four shots and taken them all yourself.
This is a drag . . . I hope you just happened upon some insecure controlling types and that this behavior isn't typical of our gender. They probably hadn't figured out yet that despite being alarmingly hot, you're really not a threat because you're so nice. :) Barcelona sounds amazing, I wanna go.
Thanks guys for the encouragement. Tonight was a much better night and I met 4 very cool women. One is actually doing the Peace Corps in Morocco so I think we might try and meet up when I am there.
