I get along with girls very well. My friendship with girl last more than the boys. I understand their line of thinking more than the guys. The guys that I have been friends with. They have been confusing or my sense of humor don't match with them. Like I do have guy friends but I prefer my girlfriends more.
Also being with guy friends I find myself to be extra cautious so that I don't give away any wrong idea while I'm with my girlfriends I don't have to care anything
It really depends on the topic and the person. Some people are either horrible about giving insight or advice on certain subjects or just everything general in life. I have a best friend that I would take a bullet for without hesitation but I cannot use them as a reference or go to when having a tough go at it. They will always have my back in a fire fight with question. But, just trying to make a point that some are not great at expressing themselves or can handle being expressed to.
I feel more comfortable around women, I always have. I get paranoid and uncomfortable around men I don’t know. I have had to deal with men treating me poorly because they feel I am unattractive and not worth being treated with common courtesy. I have also had men who act too familiar with me in very uncomfortable ways or yell at me while I walk down the street. I have also been around men who are completely respectful. I never feel like I have to act a certain way around other women.
I can best relate to the same sex. I think this is just because their is more in common. I also see this if girls if they have lots in common with me. But there are things I just talk with my male friends about, because it feels like they can better set them in my place and really feel what I try to say them.
I'm normally just "one of the guys", but I like it there, most of the girls I know are too much. I have a handful of girlfriends, say 5 or 6, but I have plenty of guy friends. Guys just aren't as needy as friends as girls are in my experience.
Except with some old men, all I get from other men is mocking, sabotage - and wanting to be in my shoes (especially when it comes to cheating with anyone I might be dating - so they can 'stick it up to daddy'). By a large degree, it is a bunch of green-with-envy-losers, men.
Overall, I find women to be more censorious than men and more likely to disengage with others after an uncomfortable exchange. Once in a while I find a woman to be a refreshing exception to that rule, and boy do I value her when she comes!
Yep, I'd agree with that. Let me just add one more point to yours though - it's not just that they are more critical or easily offended, it's also that all sorts of things they consider to be awkward, and their communication is more indirect than direct; so awkward, or friction = disengagement. Not necessarily always, "Oh, I'm mad at him. I never want to talk to him again." I think they need to learn how to bridge these gaps better though. Many people (men included) are willing to adapt, apologize, concede, if they knew what was bothering her, but resolution will not happen with an avoidant strategy.
I've always felt like i can more fully speak on real emotions to women because most guys feel a need to speak more in a way that they think they are expected to by other men rather than genuine feelings and also i really aporeciate just being arounf an honest female who is confidant enough to express raw emotion be it pain or joy with no fear or regrets
I've been single all my life. I felt more comfortable enjoying with my Bros. So obviously my guy friends. Plus when you have a wolf pack it feels good.
It's equal, or falls randomly, depending on who is in my life.
Most of it is on an individual basis. I'm pretty expressive anyway but it really depends on who I'm close with-- generally my closest friends are other women.
Men! I’m female and get on better with men as I’m insecure yet can be myself with the men I don’t fancy! Yet they definitely think I fancy them! I’m terrible for it! But I’ll never hurt them! They all have partners! But I can be a way with them as they can with me yet we can’t with our partners?
Definitely opposite, I feel like the majority of guys have a completely different mindset ghan I have and like they are not even trying to be understanding.
I doubt that it's a maturity issue I've felt like this since I was like 10 and I don't see 50 year old guys being any different from 10 year olds in that regard. And sorry but radiohead definitely is old people music, I'm definitely not gonna gopy my parent's music taste.
It isn't, but maybe you will realize that old is not always better either. And for music I'd argue that new is better simply because there's more variety and a lot of genres just were not "invented" yet or not even possible due to technology not having progressed far enough.
Omg Asca. You're not making this any better. I never said old is always better. This is your line of reasoning, not mine. You are so stuck in this, you have no idea how much 'new' music is derived from past influences. I just can't even do this.
Lmao Amanda what even is your point? What am I even supposed to make any better? I didn't say new is always better either, I just listened to radiohead and it sounds bad, that's really it and while a lot of new music sounds bad too no modern musicians would produce music like radiohead did.
"No one knows me better than me", right, Unit? Me, myself, and I. You should write and sing a goofy song about that. No, but seriously, I believe you. I think you are not inhibited; very expressive.
Depends on the person , women to tend to be much more PC & leftist and agree with @DonCachondo 's opinion , and a bit more uptight. The exceptions are highly valued. I love savage banter , being ex British Army. Overall , not a " people person " & prefer my own company... it's my personality type , and it makes for less BS , annoyances and needless drama. Give me ferrets & dogs over people !!
It honestly depends... I feel I can be more open with girls but I can open up to either gender and it also depends on what she is wearing. If it's more causal I'm more comfortable if that makes sense...
Interesting about the casual. I guess you feel there is too much disparity in a more formal person, or their clothes denote a place in life that you don't relate to?
I agree... I feel partly that it's simply less pressure. You are both letting your guard down. It's not a date or a job interview or your boss so it makes it much more relaxed... Given if bosses or interviews wore casual clothes it might even feel less stressful
I feel much more accepted by women when it comes to opening up and talking about things related to feelings or emotions in general. It might be because I'm lucky to have met these wonderful women but I'm glad to feel like I can express myself freely.
Neither. I’m gay so guys keep their distance and women insult and mock me because they deem queers inferior. So I tend to keep tomyself trying hard to keep my hourly job despite the efforts to force me out or cut my hours

Definitely the opposite!

@AmandaYVR Oh, sure! Lots of feelings can lead to avoidant behavior. Shame, embarrasment, fear...

Opposite sex accepts me as a person and I can talk to them as friends. The same sex are to put it in simple words weird.
Hahaha

I'm not entirely surprised.
Maybe when you get past this age, they'll start to become more understanding. Might be a maturity issue.
by the way, Radiohead's awesome. If you think that's "old people music" you are nuts and have much to learn about what is truly cool.
I doubt that it's a maturity issue I've felt like this since I was like 10 and I don't see 50 year old guys being any different from 10 year olds in that regard. And sorry but radiohead definitely is old people music, I'm definitely not gonna gopy my parent's music taste.
One day you'll realize that new is not always better.
It isn't, but maybe you will realize that old is not always better either. And for music I'd argue that new is better simply because there's more variety and a lot of genres just were not "invented" yet or not even possible due to technology not having progressed far enough.

Me? Gender doesn't matter. I know men and women, who I can openly express myself to :D
"No one knows me better than me", right, Unit?
Me, myself, and I. You should write and sing a goofy song about that.
No, but seriously, I believe you. I think you are not inhibited; very expressive.
I GOT THAT FIRE IN MY SOUL.
Already there

For me, it all depends on the individual. Neither sex is more or less trustworthy for this.

I tend to keep my own counsel. However, the few I am most forthright with have been an equal breakdown between the sexes.
