I would be so stressed if I was a guy. Friends always teasing you if you're too scared to do something (ex. aggressive sports, stuff involving heights, etc). It's only around female friends that I would start feeling like a huge weight is lifted from me, and I could just be my old fearful self. Thoughts?
That type of shenanigans sounds like high school guy stuff and it was fun being risky and wild together when ur that age. I think we value male friendship cuz we can’t be our uncensored, unfiltered selves around women for the most part and girls can’t really relate to us at all. I feel a weight put on me having to edit myself and act subdued around them 🤔
Guy friends just make you feel more comfortable in general without having to worry about what you say or do, there's always a difference in how you want to be seen or known as around different gendered friends for example would you rather be embarrassed around girl friends or guy friends, be honest lol

I must be the opposite, I prefer female friends I find it easier to talk to them. Lot of guy friends always figure it is a competition which does not suit me. I also like to get a girls opinion, because the tend to think more about their response.
I prefer females friends because male friends tend to be more interested in shit I have no interest in: cars, guns, war, westerns, football, wrestling, video games, beer, getting wild & crazy, setting each others pubes on fire. It's just not my scene.
Well people don't make fun of boys for being friends with other boys growing up, so that probably has something to do with it. If you grow up with friends of the same gender, they're easier to be friends with as an adult too. You're used to it.
Luckily i had a good mix of friends growing up, so I don't have a hard time making friends with men or women. My husband only had girl friends growing up, and ngl you could tell by how he interacts with other men as an adult. Its not as bad anymore tho. Just takes a little practice.
u I do not have a preference... I just happen to be friends with more women, in number, than dudes... it wasn't planned, just that girls usually come in bundles of BFF's, lol
now, about risk and interests... that's definitely about personality and individuality, not a gender thing in my case
Guys are easier to read, aren’t overly emotional, and we just say how we feel. There are no hidden agendas, we don’t have to worry about sensitivity during certain times of the month, and if we have an issue about something we punch each other and we are good. We don’t run immediately to find a new best friend or groups to hang out with.
Most of my husband's friends are female and most of my friends are male, and I know many other couples that are the same.
Guys who can't be friends with women have mental issues and probably should be seeking therapy.
Make friends are less complicated in general. However, having said that, consider that women will have several female friends to “compare notes” with, get advice from, etc. Guy do the same thing.
Male and female friends both tend to be great in different ways.
It depends on what I want. I like men for "guy talk." However, I have great female friends for "deep" talks.
I don't prefer male friends. A lot of guys are jerks , full of pride and arrogant and I can't stand it.
Because there is no reason to have a female friend if you aren't looking for a relationship. Most women bring unnecessary bullshit and drama.
I don't care about gender when it comes to friends. I just want genuine people.
You're a coward. Most men are not. What you find terrifying, men find exciting and fun. That's the difference. That's why we prefer male friends.
Simple... guys understand guys. We guys often have no clue about you girls.
I don't. I prefer female friends because they tend to be more relatable.
I prefer female friends a lot better then male friends.
My male friends never forced me to do dangerous activities.
In my case, because I was shy around women and found it easier to relate to other men, I've preferred being one of the boys.
I'm not a guy... but most girls don't like girls and guys don't wanna deal with that drama. Also most guy "friends" like the girl.
I don't have a preference. A good person is a good person. Gender doesn't determine that.
