| I had and have more female friends... but most of them are pretty far along the tomboy spectrum. (and this probably reflects on me, more then the norm) |

| I voted yes, though it's probably actually about equal. But overall, most of my true friends, as in those who haven't betrayed me or intentionally left me behind, have been male. In fact, there's been a couple of times that I've been the only girl, or one of two girls, in whatever motley crew of oddballs I've been involved with. I just wish I knew where most of these people were now! |

I really got along alot better with boys than girls, but usually they were a special sort of boy...not the gruff mean type....however I came across these few and far between.
I had alot of friend/acquaintances who were girls who I could not really relate to....

In elementary school I got along with girls better, but in junior high I got along with guys better.

| I did cause the stuff I was into - building type toys and adventure books as a child, and then as a teenager, music, were more popular with boys. I had girl friends too, but my best friends until High School were always boys. |

Nope! Both boys & girls were embarrassed by me & my quirks. I didn't have enough coordination to play with the boys & that didn't help either. Guess I was developmentally delayed along most social activities.

| I have more girl friends, but they aren't obsessed with make-up and other things that most girls are. |

I would have done, if I hadn't been deliberately separated from them!
At my primary school we were put in separate yards, and I remember getting bodily removed from the boys' yard time and time again. Looking back, from my teachers' ludicrous level of concern about this, I can only conclude that they found my constant urge to be around boys in some way precociously sexual. They really went ballistic over it, and that's the only reason I can think of as to why it was such a huge issue for them. (I was seven years old, for crying out loud!) They really could not believe I simply preferred male company.
Later, I got sent to an all-girls secondary school where I knew nobody, most of my real friends (boys included) having gone to local co-eds. It's often thought that single-sex education is 'less distracting', but from what I remember it made all the girls regard boys as strange, exotic creatures, making them even more fascinating. Totally in a boyfriend sense, of course. By the time puberty kicked in, I'd lost the ability to relate to boys in anything but a potential-boyfriend manner...which, ironically, lost me what could have been some wonderful male friendships later on.
