....generally relate or get along better with those of your own sex, or the opposite?

Personally, I have usually always gotten along better with women and enjoy their company more... I once took a test where it turned out my cognitive functioning had more in common with that of a womans than a mans... (it was mainly to do with having good linguistic and communication skills...which men are often bad with).

Anyway, at the same time, I am no sissy and of course have some good male mates, too... but I often find people on my own team who I don't know a bit harder to like, at least at first. So even though I hate to generalise, I often prefer the company of the ladies.

How do you fare, and if you can be general, which sex do you prefer the company of?

At the end, we'll tally up the results and the losing sex will be banned from the org for life.

I get along with real men who are not bogged down with issues of doMANce or bittered by something that happened to them as a child in school. Unforthnally those type of men are few and far between. And it is easier to get along with females.

What is "DoMANce"????

Spats said:

it's the word dUnce and the word dominance mixed with a man. You should understand it.

Spats said:

i think he meant dominance issues. like what you have.

strange others understand clearly. LOL

I have great male friends and ofcourse I like spending time with them, we're buds. Also, I have great female-friends I spend time with. Last Saturday I spent the whole day in the sun on a boat with 2 (hot) girls, the three of us had a blast! It's different with women, but no less fun. I need both!

i do too, the main problem i have with blokes is they almost always tend to be self-destructive, and i am sick and tired of being around that. at least the ones i know.

Dude, I have a hipbone that has physically more in common with that of a woman's than a man's.

what do you mean with 'self-destructive'? Like in drinking too much or so? Hey man, that's all in your own hands.....I can have fun with my male friends without drinking. The guys in my hockey-team are my best buddies, ofcourse we party but we can also have a good time doing stuff without alcohol involved (actually, same with my female-friends). A matter of discipline I guess, eventhough it is more likely I get smashed from alcohol when I'm around my male-friend.....

opposite usually...but few exceptions with the same sex...I think girls can be quite catty sometimes...I relate to men better...but there are women I can relate to.

abierman said:

that's what i mean... the problem isn't me... it's the dudes... they're nearly 30 and haven't stopped smoking/drinking/drugs since their early teens... i have no problem not doing it, though i partake myself every now and then... i just find that it's the only way some men know how to "bond" ... ah nevermind, i don't think you get it.

notoriousj said:

you see, i get that. women who get along better with men, i get along well with... but blokes who prefer the company of blokes and are straight? boring.

i guess the whole thing is too general, i like both at different times but often think women are more intelligent sometimes.






*waits for bashing over the head by male org population*

I get along better with my buddies than my girlfriends. I trust my male friends more than i trust women. I can talk about about things with my guy friends that i could never talk about with a girl.

mrdespues said:

?????
what are you trying to say? Ofcourse I get it.....maybe you should pick other friends to hang with.....I am totally numb to 'peer-pressure' and do what
I like.....
Stay away from those pot-heads. I know how to bond in different ways.....with or without partying!

abierman said:

oh yeah, me too... i don't succumb to "peer pressure" either... it's finding people who don't do that shit who are still somewhat interesting which i find difficult...

mrdespues said:

that's something else, you have to be selective.....you learn on the way!

I have more close female friends than male but I get along w/ both really...

MickG said:

I should have known. All those sushi and cookie threads...

mrdespues said:

ditto this except gender roles reversed I was better with the spatial whatever it is than most women - map reading and such

I get along fine with either though. Nervous people of either sex make me incredibly uncomfortable.

ZombieKitten said:

me too. or conversation stoppers, people who just let the dead air ring out while you have to fill in all the space asking about THEM.

I hate everyone.

after this weekend you will feel so much better

I get along better with the opposite sex.

In high school, and a bit thereafter, I had more guy friends than girls. A lot of girls were just plain mean to me.

Now I relate to women better than I used too, but still hit it off better with the dudes.

I get a long way better with the opposite sex.....

Guys are cool with me as long as they don't have their women with them...if they do, they get a little leary of me and territorial....

I relate better to men.
