Are women better than men at maintaining opposite-gender friendships?

[Anonymous]

I just know that women gossips too much..
And sometimes it really just hurts chances of friendships.
I am the worst possible friend tbh cause I get attached too much too quickly and I even fall in love. But no one likes me so it just is the end of that friendship.

I don't think so. They're both about the same but men might fall in love easier. It's maintaining those friendships WHILE you've GOT a steady love interest that becomes a problem with most women! I'm not sure why. Especially since it's usually the women that do most of the cheating. I've had at least 8 love-related relationships in my life and, so far, 4 of them were cheating on someone else and one also cheated on me! However, in at least one case, I certainly don't blame her for cheating on him!! He abused the shit out of her!!

Another anon that can't count to 1.

An opposite gender relationship is maintained by 1 person of each gender.

Most of my friends are male and always have been. It has never been an issue for me. I don't know any women that "gossips too much", as you put it. Perhaps you need to actually meet more women instead of wasting time with posting nonsense anonymously on a platform like this.

I attract strong women as friends. I do not need close male friends. Acquaintances I say hi and bye to are acceptable.

Women aren’t automatically better at opposite-gender friendships. Some guys do it amazingly, some girls are a total red flag factory.

Your “I get attached and fall in love” thing isn’t friendship, it’s low-key lovebombing yourself. Slow it down. Let things breathe. Treat friendships as friendships, not auditions for a relationship.

And trust me, “no one likes me” is a lie your brain tells you when you’re hurt, not reality.
