You and my wife would get along FAMOUSLY!

My best friend is a straight male. This has been a problem with almost every woman he's been in a relationship with and some people don't believe a man and woman can be friends without sleeping together. Most of my other friends are male as well. Men are simpler to get along with in my opinion.

She had sex with all her female friends too?

The older I get, the fewer close female friends I have.

Either I outgrew them (meaning they kept acting young and crazy and I didn't), or the dynamics of the relationship didn't work for me (I was being asked to give more than I was able, and guilt tripped when I didn't live up), or our lives just caused us to grow apart. Then there's the ones that ended because we fucked, but that's another thread.

I've always tended to enjoy the company of guys, mostly because they dont TALK SO FUCKING MUCH. I really can't stand chatter for the sake of chatter, and many women seem to have a need to talk even when there's nothing to say.

Opposite.

I am typically friends with more women, but for reasons of complications, my closest friends are probably male.

of course, my gf is my best friend, but that's different.

what complications?

mainly my gf would not want me hanging with other women all the time, but also I suppose that somewhere I am attracted to many of the women I am friends with, even if I'm not hitting on them, and maybe vice-versa, I don't know.

It's easier to do things socially with guys and not have any misunderstandings.

But I immediately hit it off with women a lot easier. It's much harder for me to develop a friendship with a guy.

I fully concede that I am attracted to many of my female friends. But I never hit on them. That's a line I don't cross once it's established that we're just friends. Maybe I need that initial attraction to actually give a damn and is why I have almost no male friends. To go to the trouble of planning stuff and hanging out with another dude--there's just no motivation for me there.

there's no question I just enjoy the company of women. And the attraction makes for an immediate bond. But my male friends have something different to offer that is no less valuable (assuming my female friends really are just friends). It's a shared perspective rather than a complementary perspective.

There are those rare times when I feel like explaining something to someone and realize that only another guy would understand and I'm SOL. That's when my brother and other male relatives end up being my de facto guy friends.

Used to be girls, now its mainly guys. Too much oddness and unspoken tensios with heterosexual man/women friendships, especially the older you get. At 30, I feel much more alpha than I did in my teens. I'm more competative and aggressive than ever before. I can take most cunts down in conversation or with a right hook if they get a bit cheeky. I used to avoid physical violence - moronic and regressive I felt - but now I acknowledge it as a necessity in some situations. I'm not Jesus. Not even fucking Ghandi. I was born in hell with no silver spoon and need to be hard as Robocop's cock to survive in my world, that's just the truth, not perception, truth. Men should be lions, as much as that repulses me, I accept the animalistic nature of existance.
You get to high school and all these bastards are walking around with fully grown hairy balls, crap goatees and fucking swearing like it's the fucking dude thing to do. It confused me as I wasnt a peer and looked a bit girly, so I rebelled to be obstinate and unique. Now I realise I was just a bit confused and silly.
I still hate sport, though. Except boxing. Fantastic.

We hang out with very few males. And even fewer gay males.
