female--male friends

In general i get on with both male and female friends.

I'm male.

Growing up, most of my friends were female (even if I didn't know them very well) except for about two years in middle school, when they were mostly male.

And now that I have friends again, I generally seem to get along better with my female friends.

I usually get on better with men or boyish girls....and most of my interest, d&d, fantasy, sci fi etc. are more popular with men then women.

For years I've been more comfortable and relaxed around men, mainly because:

- We're more likely to share the same interests (video games, cartoons, collecting)
- Men don't make as big of a deal over their physical appearance or clothing.
- Lower-pitched voices are easier on the ears.
- They tend to be less high-strung.
- They tend to take things less seriously.
- They're usually funnier.
- Less obsessed with long-term commitment.

Of course there have been women I get along well with too. One of my most favorite people in the world is my mom. But my mom's not very stereotypically female. She agrees with me that things like owning a ton of shoes or purses are much worth. Also I'm not around men much at all any more since I got my own place to live so I may have more negative opinions about them... yeah, "may have".

Despite feeling nervous around females, looking back, I seem to get along with them better than I thought. Out of the few good friends I've got (Mutual?!), a vast majority of them are female. The guy friends I have tend to be massive nerds ie no alpha male types

Most of the girls I get along with aren't very girly either...

Men and women who have a lot of traits that people think are male traits. I don't think so, but what evs.

Men.

Women: My wife is my only friend.

I am male and get along with other males better but not 'traditional masculine' males.

See, I am male and not exactly masculine but not exactly effeminate either. Maybe slightly leaning more to the masculine side.

And most of my male friends are the exact same. A mix/balance.

I find most teenage boys my age to be hyper-masculine. I do not get along with or relate to most of them at all.

I get along with quite a few females as well and they are the same. Not 'tomboys' but not your traditional 'girly-girls' either, but a balance.

The only reason I chose male who gets along with males better is because I have had more male friends overall then female friends.

But my male friends and female friends all are balanced like I said. Some are even very masculine while others are very effeminate.

Basically what D0gbert said.

My situation is very similar to his. My male friends are somewhat nerds/awkward/shy like me.

My best friend is a male but says he feels like a female at times so it is possible he is a transsexual female as he has been questioning it.

I mgith as well put no difference, actually.

I know what you mean, sir.

I've found my male friends have all been like I said mix between masculine/feminine.

Or even if they are not, they have never been the ultra-manly alpha male types.

It is hard to explain, really.

Me and my male friends we aren't super manly but we are definitely masculine. We enjoy sports and like to beat each other verbally like male friends do and are very hobby based like males can be.

This is all stereotyping but oh well.

I'm male and if I feel at ease around someone, they are usually a woman. Sometimes I trust them too much though...
