I have found since I was little that it was so much easier making friends with boys than girls. My best friends were always boys.( I was not a tomboy either) Now as an adult I am finding the same thing. Does anyone else feel the same?
Absolutely-- generally speaking, more easygoing, less gossipy, less superficial, have a better sense of humor about themselves, aren't supersensitive, aren't ruled by emotions or hormones--

I've found that women like to gossip, are a bit more vindictive, and let's well face it...*****es.....and can say easily that I can count myself in that group on occasion too....
lol
I think it has to do with wiring....girls are all about networking and communication.....seems like guys don't sweat the details (probabyl because we do it for them :P)
And I mean no offense gentleman...I love you all....I've always known I'm going to need a nice laid back guy to mellow me out!0 -

Always been this way for me, for some time I thought it had to do with the fact I grew up with all boys. Now I know its just men are WAY less complicated.0

I've always had more guy friends than gal friends... but I was a total Tomboy :-)
Guys aren't as superficial, they know how to have fun and aren't so focused on how you look while doing it. Guys are always easier to talk to because they listen and don't throw out the snide comments and remarks that girls do. My guy friends were always much more honest with me than any of my gal friends too. So, I totally understand where you are coming from :-)0 -

:DEFINITELY! My experience has been the same! I don't know what it is but women are just b!tch!er and jealous and catty. :devil: It's crazy! :noway: I hate when you walk in the room sometimes and you can feel you are being looked up and down and scrutinized. Good lord! :explode: I have family that I cannot get along with and my husband swears they are just flat out jealous.
Who knows, maybe he's just bragging on me. Love him so!

Honestly, I find it to be the other way round. My friends are women as well and the only men I socialize with are their friends.0

I'm so please your saying that and not me, a guy saying that would be completely FLAMED!!! :laugh:0 -
YES! Guys arent so caty and judgemental. Most of my friends are guys just because we like to do the same things and just get along better. I am a tomboy for the most part though

Most definitely. I think this has a lot to do with the fact that most men do not struggle with insecurity like women do. Women are constantly comparing themselves to other women and rating themselves accordingly. It is sad but I have found it to be true. Unless a woman is confident in herself (but not too confident), she tends to be difficult to deal with. I have the same experience with being friends with most women. Men are less complicated.0

thank God its not just me!!!!!!0

ummmm.... women are definitely more complicated.... we are multi-taskers naturally. men are simpler in their thinking - sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes a bit boring. I like to have both for friends for different reasons.....0

I am the lone dissenter, eh? Well, I have to say, I grew up with two sisters and always had a close female best friend. I thought boys were a different species and I was never really comfortable with them. I thought they were strange and liked stupid things (like monster trucks and wrestling) and were not very thoughtful.
As I got older, I tried to be friends with boys but they always wanted something more-whether they were married or much older than me, I could not maintain a platonic friendship with males, they always got mad when I did not reciprocate their feelings. So, I am not friends with boys.
also, I am more comfortable working with and for women.
I think I married a great guy who is pretty thoughtful but he is not my best friend. I had nine bridemaids because I have so many close girlfriends. Some people, including my sister, think that it must mean a lot of drama, but I haven't had that-love my girls!0 -
For me it's not about guys being more "easy going", it's just I have a hard time finding female friends interested in the same things as I am. I have a few friends that are girls, but the only things we do together are the occasional lunch and whenever I feel the need to go dancing, stuff like that, but for every day hanging out and close friends it's always been guys just because we tend to enjoy the same things such as gaming, sports, poker, making inappropriate jokes, etc etc. I guess you could call me a tomboy, but a tomboy that still likes to wear cute clothes and makeup just not really talk about clothes and makeup lol.0

It's a trap!0 -
women are just way too *****y and jealous! i keep better friends with lads0

Agree 100% with each and every one of you. I'm not a tomboy, and most of my friends were guys. Think about it--2 guys can get into a fist fight one minute, then a while later they're having a beer together. If 2 women get into a verbal argument, forget it! I also hate working with all women. One or two are ok, but get a group of us together and holy smokes it's bad!!0
-
YES! Most of my not online friends are guys, I prefer it that way, women tend to be catty, jealous and boring to me and I just have more in common with men.0

I'd like to have more guy friends as find them more down to earth and easy going but unfortunately my husband doesn't like other male attention coming my way

I grew up with five brothers and my best friends while growing up were boys. Even now, I still find that it's easier for me to be friends with men than women. I find women to be jealous and whiny.I have found since I was little that it was so much easier making friends with boys than girls. My best friends were always boys.( I was not a tomboy either) Now as an adult I am finding the same thing. Does anyone else feel the same?0 -
