So i should change my handle to friendslast.

I'm lucky , my circle of close friends is extremely small.. like maybe 1 hand small. I have pretty much weeded out all the w@nkers ( male and female ) , and have an extremely small group of friends , then theres people i know , but wouldnt go out of my way to help like i would my true friends. I have more male acquaintances i know than females of the same.

P.s its 11am on monday and im home.. yes i have the flu :( , not the piggy one tho

I find I am the same.......I don't have a huge amount of friends but the ones I do. I call real friends.

bingo

hiya Tina, FF and Lok.

First hope you sick ones feel better soon.. I am just being a slack arse.. I should be outside gardening still.. but have lost my mojo..

I have many more closer female friends than male ones. My best man at my 2nd wedding.. yes I am a slow learner... was a woman..but not just any woman... my best mate.. she went to primary school with my first ex wife and when we split refused to take sides.. so my ex dissed her off.. still today wont talk to her.. pretty sad hey.. but I digress.

I have always found it easier to talk about D&M things with my female friends (and my 2 gay mates) rather than all of the emotionally stunted neanderthals that I work with etc.

I do have a few good male mates.. one in particular and he is finally after 20+ years getting to the stage where he can open up to me about his feelings and emotional stuff... I am his listening post at the moment as he is going through a relationship melt down. I am honoured that he trusts me.

I firmly believe (after experimenting! and failing) that long term female friends dont make good partners, lovers or F^%$ Buddies as it just gets emotionally messy on both parts and that strains the friendship. Buy hey thats just an opinion and we all know what opinions are like.

Anyway enough of my verbal diarrhoea..

Cheers
TARA

Yes see this I find interesting that males can indeed feel the same way, when it comes to opposite sex friends. I really found myself thinking deeply about this last night and trying to establish a reason why it is..........I suppose we seek comfort in what we find comfortable, with either sex. I thought I would have lost my trust in men, but never have.

....Nice to hear that Tina....there are some real Good Guys left around.... Okay......

I dont have a big circle of friends and i do meen friends
not aquantances
5 to be exact 3are women,I only had the issue once that one was starting to get attached and show signs that she was intrested,
One evening out we had to talk about it,She sead that she was cool with my not bienig intrested that way,But shortly afterwards she sort of drifted away and i havent seen her for over a year,
OH and my femail friends arent frends with privlages
befor any one makes comment,
I value who they are,
Theyr my friends,Real friends

I dont have a huge circle of friends. I am fortunate that adversity has shown me who the real ones are. I tell them often that they are my heros.

For me its 50/50 male and female. In saying that, they fill different holes.

I consider myself very fortunate that I have a group of strong, loving, and wise people around me.

Hello Tina

I used to have alot of female friends but over the years that has changed and now have alot more male friends.

Find that i get on with males alot easier and also work with mechanics whom i have a good working relationship with and can talk about anything with them, yet they have the upmost respect for me.

Think sometimes female friends can let you down in life, as has happened to me in the past on a few ocassions.

But with the opposite sex, as long as you know where your friendship boundaries are, make awesome caring friends whom you can talk and share alot with.

salute To Friends

All my closest friends are of the opposite sex these days.

I hope I'm not one of those wankers of course not...you wouldn't have come out with me on Fri night btw... hope you didn't have that swine flu on Fri night when I hugged you good-bye

i have a small group of friends and there all women i just get on better with them,to be honest cos i spent most of my time in the uk nearly everyone i knew has either moved away or interstate, ive found it pretty difficult to make new friends at my age, as most people have made there groups of friendsor i find there married and kids which ive already done ..so the few friends i have made since being back here i cherish

I have more male friends... I get on with them better and there is no bitchyness...they are more fun (except for my close girl friends... I love them dearly and have lots of fun with them) but yeah... I like hangin with the blokes

Agree.

Much better to have a few 'good' friends than just having a friends list.

Hi Tarns. I feel exactly the same.

bout the same I think, sum beta than others neva thought about it, its hard enough making a gud friend without worrying bout wat sex they are.
