Please tell us if you're a woman or a man, and which gender you prefer as a friend.
I have a handful of great female friends, but I prefer male friends. I don't know why I'm like this, but it takes me forever to warm up to most women. I find that a lot of them are catty, competitive, annoying, bitchy. The female friends that I have right now, are not like that, so that is why I keep them . With men, I feel like I can be very open, honest and myself...I always feel very comfortable around men from the beginning. I sometimes feel like I cannot be myself around women....
Male. Have both male and female friends, but have had way fewer fallouts with male friends. I have friends from childhood and college.
EVERY fallout with a female friend has been because they took a woman's position, favoring another woman, when all the objective facts, if analyzed, would have indicated the woman was wrong. Sometimes this showed up of out nowhere 15 years into the friendship. To me, it was toast, at that point.
Sometime, when I have time, I will have to tell about the story of a girl I met at a Catholic parish when I lived in ATL. Wow, that you would meet someone like this in a church-related setting AND that another woman in this same group (also a friend of the girl I met) STILL defends her. Got tired of this woman defending her, so I phased her out as well, many years later. Interesting thing: the woman that does the defending HATES her dad.
Women usally tend to have males freinds because they say females keep up trouble. Vice versa for men. For me i think freinds are overrated personally.I have 1 freind worth calling a freind and thats because he been there for me since the 2nd grade, through fight, fires,chicks,and my father death he stood with me though everything. That why i call him my brother. And usally I hang with my older blood brother anyway. I have female freinds but its tends to go ferther than that and that's good for the booth of us anyway. I plus i listen to anyones problem anyway i can help so I prefer females more than dudes,but to a certain extent because they both start trouble
I'm a man, so I would much rather be friends with women. I make friends with bonafide dimes, and I don't even mind being in the "friend zone" of a 10+ and actually tell them early on that I'm just looking for friendship because here's the thing, when they show up on the scene and start bustin it up with me, it makes the 7's-9's that are also around me feel like 4's and 5's, and we all know what girls do when you make 'em fell ugly in this under-handed way. Don't get me wrong, if the dime happens to want something more than a friendship, I won't turn it down, but I use women to get other women, It's a play on their insecurities, I wouldn't be this way if women weren't so cruel to the "nice guy". They leave me no choice, but to be a beast.
As for guy friends, I see them mostly as competition, and am only tight with those I grew up with, and close family.
Gay guys. I'm female so I get the best of both worlds this way - someone who isn't catty and into makeup and general sluttiness - and someone who isn't going to stop talking to me if I refuse to have sex with him. Perhaps I've just had bad luck with friends who are girls. The closest girl friends I've had ended up backstabbing me, causing me endless drama or were just ditzy and interested in things that I couldn't find the least bit exciting.
I am a female and I like having female friends. We talk about a broad range of topics and things don't get boring.
Here is why I do not like guy friends as much: I hate sport and car talk. I don't want to go golfing, bowling, or shoot pool. I get annoyed when guys come for relationship advice... it's like, you are a man, you need to man up and figure it out for yourself, y0, quit being wishy washy and I don't care if you are not sure if you are "passionately in love" with your woman. No females have come to me for relationship advice - only men. LOL! They are so whiny, indecisive, impractical, and picky. Obviously not every woman is going to look like a model and you can't expect that if you don't look like one yourself! Maybe because I'm female, men think that I would enjoy listening to their relationship drivel but in reality, I hate it.
However I have to condede that girls who turn from your friend to your enemies are the absolute worst. Often they are man-crazed witches, or super needy girly-girls.
I'm a male who prefers to be with males. I really don't believe in opposite-sex friendships, no matter what the situation it is.
