Haha who knows? It can be wildly different. I've written songs chorus first, verse first and ass backwards. Honestly, it pointless caring. Any way round can produce perfectly good results. The song I consider my best happens to be verse first but that doesn't mean writing around a chorus makes a song any worse. The last song I wrote had its chorus written months before I figured out a verse. Also, you're only 'forcing yourself into a structure' if you force yourself to finish a song. If you write a chorus and can't think of a verse then leave it and the right verse will come to you later and vice versa. Don't get tricked into thinking the orientation of your song writing will affect the outcome.
