Is it normal to want to find friends of your own gender?

I don’t have any of friends of the same gender. Which is alright but sometimes I wish I could talk someone of the same gender. The opposite gender you have to sensor what you cant talk about. You know guys don’t talk to chicks about guy stuff. Chicks don’t talk to guys about chick stuff. The only friends I have right now are the opposite sex. How would I go about making same sex friends?

    I think it's that censorship that makes me prefer male friends in certain ways. I hate when I'm with other women and they start talking about their love/sex lives or lack thereof without any warning or consideration as to whether or not I want to hear their crap and verbal exhibitionism. I used to know a woman who constantly would obsess about her ex's to me and she could do it for hours. I thought the polite thing to do was to let her get it out of her system but honestly that was the worst thing; it was like feeding a monster. So now I'm slowly making more same sex friends that are healthier. But those desperate, lonely pathetic women who define themselves by their romantic relationships and whether or not they have a man are like a scourge. I'd rather be alone than be around them, yuck!

      I honestly think one thing: you had bad friends, that's all. Hahaha. Believe it or not, eveyone is different. I met some male friends that were really weird, talked about things I didn't like either.
      So it's not a problem about gender, but about personality compatibility.

        Yes, now in retrospect I would say was certainly not compatible with those three. But I stand by my statement about not being down with people(although I did say chicks) who define themselves by their romantic relationship status and whether or not they have a significant other. It would be nice to have some good girlfriends but I guess my experience last year has made me wary and hyper sensitive to what I don't like or want. I can also relate about males that are really weird.

        I guess I would have to say that my sincere hope and prayer is to find appropriate friends with whom I'm truly compatible; shared beliefs, animal lovers, good sense of humor, etc. I think a lonely person's worst enemy is desperation because it fosters the wrong kind of compromise.

    I think that it's a choice to have female or male friends, or both. In any case, the relationship will have different dynamics, not only because of genetics and way genders are differently still being raised, but because people are in their core unique.
    I have friends from both genders, wich I love. So I do think it's normal to have a friendship with someone of your own gender.
