Thread disclaimer: in no way is this thread have to do with romantic relationships!!

in the NT population in general, most would say they get along better with the opposite sex.

how about the autistics??????

as a hetrosexual male, faithful and married 22 yrs, i have ALWAYS gotten better with women than with men....i have no mommy/daddy issues or any kind of abuse either, physical or sexual in my life.

i tend to find women, more capable of communicating with all the issues of life and appreciate their candor and loving touch (thanks mommy, and so many other role models)...and in no way do i find them ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ALL THE TIME, lol ladies

i tend to define men with more suspicion...i have had some TREMENDOUS MALE ROLE MODELS who taught me what i needed (thanks daddy, and so many others)........yet i find most men to be controlled by testesterone(sp) and stupidity, lol..along with greed and selfishness.................in my youth they were hard to deal with....but they TAUGHT ME SO MUCH, and by the time i was 25 i was eating the poor pathetic souls for breakfast who negatively crossed my path, lol, i crushed their machismo with a hammer.............i refused to be beaten in the final battle


anyway, the men i have talked to here on this site are about the best group of men i have ever talked to.......and you ladies arent too bad either, rofl

In a word: no.

Women are more hesitant to talk to me than men, so it's easier for me to get along with the same sex.

Depends on personality for me, not gender. I'm a girl, but some women's voices give me a headache & some guys are just gross. Really dependent on personality, rather than gender.

I have always found males easier to commincate with; females seem to speak a language I often have trouble understanding.

I am a hereralsexual female who can't spell very good 8O I get along much better with men such as male coworkers probably for the exact oposite that you get along better with women. I like the fact that men do not go into all the emotional stuff. I find them to be more straight forward and to the point about things. I also perfer the topics that men talk about over female converstaions.

Example- At family gatherings it seems that the males and females seperate into groups. I always find myself out back with the guys instead of in the kitchen with the girls.

I think an important thing to note here is that I do realize that I am probably treated differently as a female then if I were a male 8)

Yes, I get along better with women than with men. I share some common interests with men, but I have always liked more to talk to women, specially when the subjects are feelings and life itself. Women don't give you a strange look that says "hey men, what the heck are you talking about? Are you a sissy or something?".

Of course there are some guys that can handle that type of communication, but most don't.

To set it straight: heterosexual male, divorced with daughter.

And yes, I do tend to fluctuate to the kitchen with the girls :D

I can 'gel' with either sex if they are not one dimensional but I try to get along with all; and the ones that don't get along with' me' tend to be judgemental with conformity issues.

I've always resented the tendency of men and their thoughtless sense of entitlement and self-absorption, and have always thought of women being on average much more preferable to co-exist with. Especially those older, shameless, transparent men who are anal-retentive about any minor inconvenience to them but couldn't give 2 s***s about anyone else. :x I think being at the very top of the social hierarchy (it's true) means you don't ever have to learn to compartmentallize your selfish impulses. grrrr.... :evil:

I'm a girl and I've always got along better with guys, ever since my first day of school.
Guys seem more straight forward in their communication and I think that's why I find them easier to talk to. Most females, especially those my age just confuse me.

I'm hetero and get on better with females, as long as I don't see them too often. I prefer to be alone though. Guys tend to try and impose dominance as though everything is about getter one up, I find they judge too much on height and build (physical) and need to keep up a "rough tough" macho front. Conversation is one dimensional, and normally always about boasting about getting hot girls, moaning about societies ineptitude or laughing at others expense. From sharing flats with males as a student, there's always a tense build up until drama with them - it's inevitable, and it's all to do with access to females & resources hard-wired into us; the "Alpha, Beta and Omega - what are you man?" syndrome I call it.

I get on much better with men. I do not relate at all to feminine women and whilst I do have female friends they are not very feminine and are nerdy. Men tend to be more likely to say what they mean and I prefer the types of things that are considered "masculine".

I am (mostly) hetero, and I get on better with boys than with other girls.
I have more masculine characteristics, and even if I feel like dressing up girly the way I act/talk is still boyish and I have often been mistaken for a boy/tranny. I prefer how male friendship works, there's something about other girls that make me feel nervous, with boys I am much more at ease.

I couldn't agree more. Growing up, I found the girls much more interesting to talk to. Until I found a group of people I could really relate to, I thought almost all men only wanted to talk about sports. I could generally care less about that.
