Do you get along better with the opposite sex in general?

I'm hetero and male and I get along with females better. Males in my part just seems to treat me like f**k when I was little, but with females I could actually talk to them without getting myself teased by them. Besides, I'm more toward the feminine ways than the masculine. Masculine at times just makes you stupid.

You are describing me to a T, for the most part. My wife and I have been married for 35 years.

All my life, my closest friends have been female, but I have noticed a pattern here too. I don't tend to befriend any female. I have discovered that most of the women that become my close friends grew up as Tom Boys. I see it over and over again. And even more interesting is that when I encounter a person who has this compatibility with me, the person often has kind of an "another of me" feeling to them.

One year, when I was in college, a dude who didn't know he was talking to the person who he was talking about, unwittingly informed me that many guys on campus were of the opinion that I am gay. That was the source of a good laugh, that I would actually be attracted to the likes of them.

Most guys have trouble believing me when I tell them that I have absolutely no sexual interest in my female friends. I care very deeply about what is inside their head, and I feel great love for them, but not the romantic variety at all. I love them like they were my sister. I am interested in being what will be the most benefit for them.

The fairer sex are preferable to me, generally. Lately, I've been tending to get along better with guys, but that's not something that's related to me, that's more related to where I am. Then again, if we include ladies considerably older than I am (I don't think it's necessarily fair to include them, as I tend to get along better with people considerably older than I am anyway), then I am still getting along better with them than with guys.

I don't know, girls are usually nicer to me than most boys, but I seem to struggle more at talking to girls than talking to boys.

Quite frankly, both genders disgust me.

I'm not so sure most NTs would say that when it comes to platonic relationships they get along better with the opposite sex.

Me, I hardly get on with anyone. I sometimes get on ok with people who don't have English as a first language, because they can't so easily tell how weird I am.

It is so seldom that I am able to meet a girl and get along with her...a few have come out of the woodwork lately though...friendly acquaintances...met through my venue...

I definitely get along better with women than with other men.

I get on better with the opposite sex, definitely.

Guys talk about a variety of stuff. Whereas an awful lot of women, even if they have other interests, tend to get sooner or later onto a track of 'Look looks looks, looks looks, ooh look at her, ugly ugly fat fat DIET DIET DIET, looks looks looks....' Which I find totally boring and nasty, and yet it seems to be the common denominator of female conversation. Admittedly not all women do this, but it seems to take a lot more effort to find the ones who don't.

I'm female. (It's quite hard to figure out if some posters are male or female in this thread!)

I used to think I got on better with men, until I figured out the unwritten social rules about when and for how long women are allowed to talk to men socially. But I like being with men at work. My social ineptitude is less obvious around men.

One time, I was with about a dozen men, all engineers from all over the country. We spent a whole day together looking at roads. That evening we were getting ready to go for a meal and I noticed that all the men were calling each other "Liverpool", "Hull", "Birmingham". None of them had remembered each other's names. It was very relaxing.

I was bullied and harassed by both sexes as a child. Now, as an adult, I just "get along" with human beings who are decent and acceptable, regardless of gender.

Wow! That sounds so annoying!

I'm a woman and I get along better with men; my best friends are men. It could be because I'm a lesbian, and more of a tomboy. I do like women, but they make me more nervous in general, and I never get their "female bonding" stuff. Ick.

When I was younger, it was indeed easier to be friends with women. Now, after my 40th birthday, I have more male friends. They all are older than me, though.
