I perfer being around men more for friendship cause there doesn't seem to near the drama.I also seem to have more in common with my men friends then my women friends in regards to liking the outdoors and camping, fishing, hunting,shooting guns and bows & arrows.

MOST, no SOME..well, anyway..guys think more logically and rationally.

You are right...much less drama and or gossip!!

I too have always found that I can relate to a man easier then a woman as friends. One thing I found with men I am no competing for attention and can be myself. I also have dear male friends who will always remain dear friends without entering into a relationship with them.

I can get along with just about anyone, either gender, any age, it's all the same to me when it's friends or aquaintances.

It's a healthy split as far as the numbers are concerned, don't really think about in terms of gender, just people.

I have alot more men friends then female friends, but I do have several female friends..

I think alot of women have more male friends, for these reasons..

To be a man's friend, you don't have to look your best, have nice clothes, shoes, etc, we don't judge you by them....

we don't argue with you about the way your hair is done etc etc.

Plus most men(not all) flirt and compliment, and do favors, for women, and women like that... alot of women need their vanity fed all the time...

WE (men) are not in any competition with women where as women are always comparing and judging other women on everything they do....
Though we are judgement, WE are no where near as judgemental then women... honestly ..........we are more blunt, but not more judgemental....JMO

dont get mad

i do get along with guys

i spent 20 yrs traveling and playing music with guys

in the last 10 yrs or so i believe i have matured to a place where i have close close women friends

for me thats what it was...fear...
maybe cuz my mom didnt love me?
who knows

but its different now and its cool



actually all my life-i can remember in 6th grade a girl i fought ended up being my best friend and its still like that a smidge-
the ones

well the guys i wanna screw immediately i need to avoid
and the women i dislike before they even open their mouths i end up loving

im weird

Most of my women friends are married and I don't really have alot in common with them.Men just seem to be more forgiving as well.They also don't hold petty grudges become catty.

I agree.

i think men gossip just as much and dont even know what they want half the time
when they get it then they run away

i think half the talk about women being competitive with each other is fostered by others not the women themselves sometimes

could part of it be that men get along with us very well because they let alot go because they always have that hope?

I think sometimes men are also more forgiving and hold less grudges then we women do at times about certain things when someone does them wrong.

I think the nature of human beings are people of the same sex feel they compete or must compete against each other. Not saying that everyone does, but it seems to be just the way it is by natural instinct. We rarely compete with people of opposite sexes, which makes it easier to get along with. As a man, most of my male friends are golf buddies, tennis buddies, pump iron with my brother and nephew, dudes that just go out for a drink and shoot the breeze, etc. All my female friends are people I can talk to about things I wouldn't talk to with my male buddies. And vice versa... they talk to me about things that are kind of personal, some even ask questions about their male relationships. I do believe we can be friends with the opposite sex, sometimes even best friends... even as adults.

I can't this is what I have experienced. In high school I had many more guy friends.....and I did find women being copmetitive among themselves. Thats just not me

Oh believe me, men are sometimes worse gossips then women.

Yeah and that is true, and often I find as women we can go over and over the same topic again and again.

See what I get when typing while on the phone....typos...

Like you mentioned, you are weird.

Yeah it could possible be the competition thing......with men I find I can be more myself. A lot of the time when catching up with female friends I will leave feeling tense. I can't explain it really.
