You always hear women who prefer male friends. I’ve never heard say he’d prefer female company over male.
Are we that dramatic, catty, overly sensitive and moody?
 
That’s a huge generalization.

I am married, my best friend outside of marriage is a male. But I have female friends.

It’s about finding mature adults to speak with.
 
I have heard of males that prefer female company. I think you are generalizing to make a comment that women are catty and whatever else you said.

I don’t buy that.

Yes. Women are more irrational, petty and moody than men. They also hold grudges longer and obsess over things. Men are more violent, insensitive, and obsessed with sex.
 
Because they come from different planets. Women from Venus, men from Mars.
 
Reuben, really? You really believe what you are saying, or you just are repeating the hackneyed, stereotypical male role responses you have heard?

Not really. The only one that is mildly correct is that women are moodier than men, but most women learn to control their moods even when they deal with hormone fluxuations that would literally drive a man mad. As in, if a man’s hormones fluctuate on the % that womans do over a couple years, never mind each week, they often experience symptoms of mental illness. Give women some credit here. In that department we do amazing.
 
About the generalisation, well fortunately or unfortunately, yes. Not all, that’s why it is a generalisation.

At least from my experience. Honestly.

And I do not want to talk about women posters in CAF.

It is undeniable. We are just made different.

No you don’t always hear that.

Pelagia if you cannot get along with other women, the problem lies with you.

I will give you credit. Hehe. Your sisters may not have the tenacity to control their hormones. Not saying that’s a bad thing.

Men have less issue with hormones as compared to women, psychologically or physiologically, and that’s a fact.

But this works both ways, where this factor can make a woman succeed and a man cannot. Sometimes it is better that mood is expressed albeit involuntarily rather than unable to due to fear and restraint.

The reason why some women can rise up and become bosses because they express themselves.

Uh, yes, would be my answer. (and no I do not consider myself one of these types) I have an easier time with men friends than women friends. I don’t know where the competition thing comes from and why it so hard to overcome; lack of empathy, good will towards the other. I would say though that some women do still manage to be genuinely cool with each other - quite a few: half, over half? Something like that.

hahahha the way I heard it “Men are from Jupiter because they’re more stupider” 🤣🤣🤣

Another winning thread. Ay yay yay.
 
I would like to find out who wrote that … haha …

There is no denying however they (women) are the stronger sex. Used to debate that in school. Don’t know whether it’s still applying now.
 
I’ve never understood how men make better friends. I’m a woman’s woman. I’m certain I fit into the category as moody, emotional, etc.
I’ve really only had close female friends. I cannot imagine being close friends with man. Those men have usually been more boyfriends.
What’s the big deal about men? What do they talk about?
Since they’re my exact opposite I always thought tomboys were cool.
I don’t know if I could have strictly platonic close male friends
 
I don’t mean close friends, just friends, acquaintances. Most men I get along with have a good (preferably quirky) sense of humor. We agree or disagree but do it without acrimony. When other women and I disagree, I feel like it gets catty, nasty. And lasts forever. Women don’t blow things off. I don’t have a lot of close female friends. As Kate Hepburn once put it, I don’t have the gift of easy friendship. This is not to say I don’t have valued friendships with women. Not a lot though. I trust men to take things more lightly, which means I feel freer to be myself without butting heads.

I’m surprised how men don’t hold grudges or take things as personally.
