Are men generally more friendlier than women?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't think one or the other are friendlier, i just think that woman are more reserved around strangers.

In my experiences, the amount of friendly males vs. friendly females I've met is about the same. So is the amount of mean ones.

In Poland it's not usual for random people to greet on the street.
You greet them only if you know the person.
but I think generally girls were nicer to me than men.
Or just they were too shy to be rude (?)

I tend to get on with girls / women more than men [I am a man].

As I understand it, women tend more to cliques than men, and can be called bitchy due to that. As a previous poster said, it could be that men are simply more straightforward. I've only had older people say hello to me in the street, almost exclusively old men. It might me generational.

I'm from North West England and wouldn't say I have noticed particular friendliness, but that's what I grew up with. People seemed friendly in the Lake District, at ant National Trust place, and in Yorkshire, but I haven't really examined it. I don know, that when I have been to London, people generally have seemed more detached/businesslike. Other than the old men in the street, I have not noticed a particular bias, but would say that younger females act guarded if their 'space' is invaded by a new female.

Men just want to look at your boobs more. All there is to it.

Not in my experience. Women have always been much, much nicer to me than men have. Generally people around here don't say hello to random people on the street in any case. But women are almost always very friendly to me if they're working a cash I'm paying at or other semi-social encounters

I'm going to go with no.

As people with aspergers have social problems, they seem to gravitate to the opposite sex. Why? Because they're not treated as a threat and a sexual competitor and the lack of these games makes them easier to relate to.

From my experience, the answer is no. I've met some bloody horrible men in my life. It's about 50/50.

Women dont wave as much as that could be considered flirting or something, I remember hearing of - what the othes here said.

Hmm I'm not sure but I think it varies by an individual's situation. In my experience, girls have been both more cruel and more kind to me than guys. As a "frumpy" female, I usually am not coveted by men for my appearance and since many men's friendships are based around interests or activities and I am not interested at all in sports or most other "guy" hobbies they may say "hi" but I really dont have any close guy friends at the moment (outside of my boyfriend, if that counts).

Girls on the other hand can be more compassionate to people who are "different". Unfortunately, the mean ones are also highly more verbally assaultive. since I freeze up when verbally attacked I cant defend much against wit based attacks. I'm not the type of aspie that's unemotional and am in fact very emotional and am able to confide my feelings in and vice versa other girls and so that aspect I have going for me with the female friendliness.

It's my experience (western europe) that taller/stronger persons are more likely to say "hello" then shorter/weaker persons? This "rule" seems to apply to men/women, natives/immigrants, etc?

Women tend to have what is called a "b***h shield" up at most times, which leads them coming off as unfriendly. Add to it that women do not face the same risks as a man, a man being rude to someone risks having the s**t kicked out of him, a woman being rude to someone does not risk the same thing. Women are raised with the self-entitlement complex that says "I can say whatever I want without there being consequences that matter".
