Always gotten along better with guys.

Most girls are too chatty and gossipy.

IDK, gossip can be pretty fun, how else do you get to know so many people all at once?

Meh. Gossip is completely pointless. I don't like talking about people behind their backs because I don't want to be talked about behind my back, either. Besides, rumors are the constituents of gossip, and many rumors are complete lies.

Having meaningful, intelligent discussions is what really appeals to me.

True, but if you're not the one initiating the gossip, you have a real learning experience on your hands.

1. The person doing the gossiping is revealing their character and can be identified as the person to NOT share secrets with, definately useful since I have little concept of who to trust

2. The person being gossiped about is placed into a context that you can work with. I mean if someone cheats, then you know how to interact appropriatly around the person. Or if they have a personal tragedy, you know which topics to remain sensitive towards. I'm more sensitive towards the issue of Down's Syndrome for that same reason.

But you are right on the gossip itself, there are people who take it upon themselves to tell the world about other people's business, I guess I just know from experience on how to deal with them.

That's true, but don't be the one doing the gossiping because then other potential friends may lose trust in you.

May apply in some cases, but I wouldn't rely on it. As I said in the earlier post, MANY rumors are false.

I'm a girl and I get along better with girls, actually. The guys at work don't talk much, which is fine and all, but when they do talk, it's about typical stupid guy nonsense. About getting drunk or cars or the stupid boss. When there's a GROUP of guys, it gets worse, followed by [edited by sinsboldly] laughter ("HUU HUU HUU") after every single sentence. OH EVERYTHING IS SO FUNNY.

I tend to get along better with the girls. Sure, they talk a lot of rubbish as well, but at least I know what to say in respond to their rubbish. And it's easier if they do all the talking, too. Annoying thing about girls is that they seem to gossip more. I try to avoid conversations like that about other people... I mean, if they're gossiping about someone else to me, they're probably gossiping about me to someone else as well. Better try to change subject. Somehow.

Some of you girls must know some really great guys.

From my experience, there are just as many, superficial, unstimulating, gosiping, bitchy and nasty males as females.

I am a guy and I get along better with girls. I can't get along with guys at all, I can only get along with girls, but that probaly is because my family now is just my mom and my two sisters (22,and 26) and my dad died when I was 11 and when I was in 6th Grade in 2005, and I get along with my dads two brothers, and my moms 4 brothers who are my 6 uncles. But I know so much more about girls than guys because I live in a family of girls, and that is probaly a good thing :D

That's somewhat true, but I'd say there are a few more intelligent and down-to-earth guys than girls. More than half of my friends are guys for a reason.
However, I have trouble getting along with guys with AS. I feel very talkative around them, and they find me annoying. Surprisingly, I don't feel very talkative around girls with AS. There is no problem for me taking turns and we end up contributing to the conversation equally.
