Well heres a new question I want to ask everyone, how many male friends do you have and how many female friends do you have? And how would you describe your relationships with them depending on how masculine/feminine they act or whatever. And what would you say are the pros and cons of dealing with each of the genders?

Even the girls who say they prefer the company of men still seem to have a lot of lady friends, and the girls here tend to be more tightly social with each other than anyone else.

Of course I can get along with some dudes, on this forum and irl but overall I find it rarer and more difficult and tend to be more easily put off by the behavior of males.

I think one thing we all (myself included) need to realise though is that personality types aren't gender exclusive and our opinions are almost always based on perceptions and our own experiences rather than any kind of fact. I know women who are relaxed and carefree because that's a personality type any person can have no matter what their genitalia is, any personality type from the myers briggs typology or whichever typology you prefer, it's not gender exclusive.

The problem is that it can be harder to find the individual behind the public persona and women do have a lot of pressure to act a certain way. Men do too though and overall any kind of social stigma makes it difficult for people who don't quite fit in with whatever their "gender role" is. Overall it's really all about finding friends with a compitable personality type, no matter what their gender is.

I would say I get along equally well with men and women. That said, most of my closest friends are male though I do have a few close female friends as well.

I have more female friends than I have male.. I think that's due to me being a pervert.

I don't really like males. Being one of the lads, having banter, oioiiiiiii. I can't stand that manly bollocks where they insist on calling you 'mate'. Far too blokey, that's why I have more female friends. But the male friends I do have, I act the same way I do with them as the females. Just talk about shit and have a laugh.. I treat my friends the same regardless of gender, though I treat men and women differently if I don't know them.

I hate bros, and I guess blokes are the UK version of that.

For those who don't know what a bro is.



These are bros.

And bros definitely DON'T come before hos for me. If I had my way, I'd have all of them shot.

I think I have more male friends than female friends, but it's still a pretty close split. I'd say the relationship is about the same between all of them, we're all very open with each other, we all joke around a lot (often at each other's expense) and I'm comfortable haing serious conversations with both male and female friends. I'd say boo boo hit the nail on the head when he said that who you're drawn to as a friend has much less to do with gender than it does with personality types. I can't stand "bros" or "blokes" any more than you guys can. Only I'd call them "tools" or "douches".

Having said that, when I'm first introduced to a group of people that I don't know, I often feel more at ease walking into a group of guys rather than a group of girls. Could be what Savanah said about girls being more competitive and always sizing each other up.

Yeah, they look like the US version of blokes. Blokes are just full on LADS. None of this sitting down to wee business, they will piss up a wall because of how manly they are. Basically macho men that are probably really insecure about their manhood, so they have to really display how manly they are.

^all those guys look about 12 in that photo. Those guys displaying their "manliness" by pissing against a wall is like a 2 year old saying he's a big kid because he went poo poo in the big potty. Like I said, douches.

People usually piss against walls because the toilets are either full or covered in puke.
Not because it's manly.

Well I agree that women can be harder to read but I think I know the language and when you know the language a lot of them are easy to communicate with.
