All my closest friends are XX. I trust them, one is flakey but great company when she gives me the time of day.

There are makes who seem to have a genuine interest in me and i try to reciprocate. it's a bit harder though and i feel guilty at times for not putting as much effort into my relationships with the dudes, as much as with the gals.

i feel as though it would be very rewarding. :|

I am male and as a general rule get along with women better. In school they were usually (not always) more mature and as adults, they are generally kinder and more compassionate. As a sensitive guy who wears his heart on his sleeve, it can be challenging to connect with males who can't think past getting drunk on Saturday night.

Wait I'm actually not sure on my answer. It's easier to make friends with females but I enjoy friendships with males more even though I'm not as good at them

I tend to get along with other females better. They, as a group, are usually friendlier to me and I am able to have conversations with them more easily. I do have close friends who are male, though.

this is sorta me. in primary school id goof off with the guys but tell my problems to the girls (whenever they were there), or more often to the teachers i had which until 6th grade were all ladies. my closest friend is considerably older then me - has a childlike (or parts of it are childlike) sense of humor. i don't doubt that guys can be really dependable and have just as much of a listening ear, but i have no easy way to contact the few dude acquaintances i know. if i did i think they'd be annoyed.

i'm lucky not to know many guys like that i suppose. weekend drunkards and all.

having femme friends all my life certainly left it's mark on me. :roll:

sometimes i wonder what my gf thinks of me having almost-exclusively few female friends. if she thinks of it at all.
