I get on with some of both.
I find I am often more emotionally open with women, but more intellectually engaged by men. By that I mean more men (from my experience) seem interested in having discussions about politics, society, art, philosophy etc. than women, whilst I rarely find women who want to discuss these things. But more women seem interested in emotional exchange and more capable of offering and receiving comfort and advice.
Of course there's also the matter of attraction. Being a heterosexual male means I have to consider how I come across to the opposite sex in a different way than I do to the same sex. This can often change the nature of the interaction - we want to attract women and impress men. I think that probably changes how we speak, what we speak about, our general attitude. It also changes how comfortable we are in a social situation. That all influences how well we 'get along'.
A straight guy might feel more relaxed around a bunch of guys because there isn't that pressure to appear attractive.
Took all the words out my mouth, at least for me being it's a straight man's perspective. I can't vouch for homosexuals seeing that I'm not, but I will say that not counting the stereotypical homosexuals (i.e. cross dressing, over exceptional homosexuals), homosexuals of both sex's are actually quite easy to talk to especially lesbians. I don't know why, but they're fun to talk to, it's like a woman's perspective in a more laid back way, casual way. I even remember having a workout buddy who was gay he was pretty cool, for a whole 2 months I never knew he was gay till he finally told me, nowadays we are still friends and invite him over to bar BQ's along with his boyfriend.
It depends on the person... But in my experience, it always seems to work like this:
Man-Man: They just need common interests and they will eventually trust each other and become best friends. When they have fights they usually reconcile easily.
Woman-Woman: They befriend each other easily, but the typical jealousy and rivalry makes them hold back when it comes to true trust. Women are usually hypocritical with each other. Also, when they get into a fight, it takes a lot of hard work to get them together again.
Man-Woman: They get along easily... but the risks of the controversial "friendzoning" is always present, creating tension in the relationship.
For me personally, it's got to be men. I was raised my entire life surrounded by more male friends than female friends and it's still that way. I spend so much little time around other women that when I do see my female friends, I feel uncomfortable in some ways because I feel like I talk and act manlier around them by accident because I'm used to talking to my guy friends. I don't care about being vulgar or insulting my guy friends because we all just razz each other, but sometimes I'll say something that my female friends are just shocked at and none of them play video games, which is a huge bummer.
Guys are just easier to relate to in a lot of ways. I can text my guy friends to come over and play COD and eat pizza or something and it's all cool, but I wouldn't ever think to ask my girl friends to do the same thing. I feel like they would think I'm weird.
I don't like when some women offer unsolicited advice and opinions. Certain women give me the feeling that they're trying to change me or recruit me for something(usually something of which I don't want to be a part). Whereas often times with guys I feel that they will straight up accept or reject me for what I am. Also certain types of women are easily offended by my sometimes vulgar language.
Men. They're a lot nicer and less likely to get jealous or competitive over meaningless stuff.
I don't think so. Men can be jealous and sometimes would go to great lenghts, just to screw you over.
But I like the thing that when two men argue and are angry at each other, they just shout a few insults, maybe throw in a punch or two and then it's all good. Women get pissed at each other and don't talk and hate each other for tens of years :D
WTF are you like twelve years old?
There are MANY negative traits out there, and both men and women possess them in spades.
But men are only more chill because they see it as a way to get closer to sex, women don't give a fuck so they act in a more natural fashion. This is a stone cold fact, known to all who know anything. The men who seem the nicest are usually the worst, because they overcompensate with "niceness" to hide it.
You should always be wary of guys, I am a guy, I know guys, and I can tell you that for the most part women don't have a clue as to how they operate. They are often very different when a woman isn't in the room, very.
I really depends on the person, though in terms of friendships, I've had more male friends as opposed to female.
Honestly, I'll treat everyone the same, regardless of gender. However, based on my personal experience I find that men are much easier to get along with than women. I'm much more free to talk about whatever I want around my male friends and expect a good conversation than I am from my female friends. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the freedom to say whatever I want around my female friends and not be judged but I won't really get an empathetic response usually. But of course I have met some amazing women in my life so far who are interesting in their perspective of life and how free they feel in their opinions, which I'm glad that they express to me. But like I said, I feel that I could talk to my male friends about certain things and be taken seriously as opposed to some of my female friends, but that doesn't mean that some women aren't easy to get along with.
They're both good. I can't really discern a difference. It's like asking me whether I get on better with blond haired people or brown haired people. I probably understand male socialising very slightly better than female socialising (I went to an all-boys school for five years, so there's a reason why I feel that way :P), but that doesn't make women harder for me to talk to at a one-on-one level. I've been at a mixed-sex school for two years now anyway, so I've probably equalised by now in any case. I have about an equal number of male and female friends, too :P
I don't look at generalize people like that, i've met guys that where assholes and i've met women that weren't all to great either. :I
All guys i know are easier than girls. The girls i know are bitchy, rude, stupid, an lazy. The guys are AWESOME!!!! and im a girl.
Women will actually remember your birthday and Can sense when u are angry with out u telling them .... I vote girls
I'm a female and I chose men. I've only had long-term male friends. Jealousy, passive aggression, unnecessary competitiveness, periods, manipulation, and hypocrisy have all been the downfall of any female interactions I've had.
Guys are pretty chill and don't like drama.
I prefer males because a lot of females I know do nothing but bitch, nag, and whine. Not to mention that they're more likely to judge about something. But that's just me. Guys are more laid back and get my humor more. :)
From my experience, men have been more easy going. However, all of my friends are women. So both I suppose.
I think that it all depends on whether I feel attracted to the woman in question or in competition with the man in question.
definitely men, even in the animal kingdom it seems so, for example male cats tend to be more mellow than female ones
