Male or Female Friends?

[cardero]

Which do you prefer if you have a preference? Why? What gender are you?

I seek friendship with anyone, but nowadays I have a solid core of friends who are all male. I like it that way, women never share my sense of humour and fun. I can't understand why they don't want to get hammered on whiskey, make a noise on guitar, tell sick jokes, scale buildings, throw themselves over hedgerows, joke at the expense of complete strangers etc. Mystery.

Nowadays I reserve my male friends towards musicianship. Not that I have anything against woman who play instruments but they just aren't as plentiful as males in my area. Mostly I enjoy female companionship. I find it easier to entertain and communicate with females than males. I also have more in common with females than men.

Female every time; irt actually bothers me, because I would like to think I could mix with guys.....somehow, I feel far easier in the presence of women.

Real men like me, Michel, often prefer the company of our hound dogs to women. After all, our hound dogs understand us and even drink the same brand of beer as we do. Plus, the dogs tend to scratch as often as we do. If you want to mix with us real men, I strongly suggest you get a hound dog or two and then take some hound dog sensitivity classes so you can know what your dogs are feelin' and thinkin'. It's obvious to me that your preference for hanging out with women has dulled your sensitivity to finer subtlties of hound dog/human communication.

Of course, my attitude might have something to do with why I'm divorced.

Other then my wife, neither, that is as far as close friends. I'd rather have a dog or cat. They are more honest, not 2 faced and can be trusted, where as most people cannot. A dog knows it's a dog, a cat knows it's a cat, but most people think that they are something they are not.

There are many dogs and cats and lizards and snakes that I've enjoyed much more than your average person. However, humans are social animals. Even the most introverted of us (me) need good relationships with friends and family.

I find most of my friends are male, or some reason or other. Gender doesn't really matter to me, though.

But I prefer a male gay best friend. <3! And my male gay best friend is in another country than me now and I miss him so. ;_;

For most, I agree. Just been burned to many times by so called friends. I find myself quite happy with my wife, 3 kids, 1 dog, and a yard full of stray cats! The last person I could call a true friend just past away a few months back.

It has been along time since I've even spoken to a female on a friends level. One of the two moved to Pennsylvania, and one girl who I was one a "close" friend level with travels to county fairs and where ever singing. She even opened up for a Brad Paisley (some country singer, I might be wrong on the name) concert once.
I find most women are repelled by my lifestyle, so all of my friends are male.

I recommend soap. Apparently they've also invented this new thing...a 'comb' or something with which you can do all sorts of fancy things with your hair.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I never said I smell bad, or have bad hair. I don't know many women who like going through a workout that makes you sore, then sweating the soreness off in 250+ degree F suana, having paintballs shot at you, wrestling, or playing video games. If you know any, please hook me up.

That was a wee joke, hence the tongue out and all that.

You're obviously getting about with the wrong kind of girl, Jimmy.

That's exactly what I was going to say!

I don't really have many of what you'd call friends in the real world - plenty of workmates, whom I rarely (if ever) socialise with outside of work. I have a very inactive social life, and have become something of a hermit in the last few years. Online, the balance is tipped towards women, but only because of where I met my original group of friends when I first got my computer. At work, of the people I get along with best, most of my favourites are male. When I was at Uni, 95% of my group of friends was male - and I loved it. We got up to heaps of stuff that I couldn't have done with a group of girls.

 

[Bastet]

Some of them take it to extremes though...my mother for instance. Perfectly capable of changing a car tyre herself, but will stand by the side of the road looking forlorn until some sap pulls over and does it for her. Why?!
It baffles me...I'd be positive I was adopted if my grandfather hadn't been carrying a shotgun when he gave my mother away at my parents wedding.

You know why - she plays the perpetual victim.

I would have thought it the other way around with you, Bastet?

Now, how did I know that line would attract comment?

It's a lot easier to be 'one of the guys' with a group of guys than it is with a group of girls, that's all I meant. I could burp, fart, swear, drink, play pool, steal street signs, and numerous other things that I couldn't have done with the female friends I had at Uni. There have only been a few female friends I've had since, that I have even come close to that kind of friendship...and even then I still had to put up with their hormonal mood swings. :areyoucra
