Getting along better with the opposite sex

No, I'm not like that. I can pretty much handle a conversation with anyone unless they're self-absorbed gasbags..

I've always enjoyed hanging out with women, but same thing for men too. I really click with transmen for some reason. Being Bigender lends me a perspective of both men and women, so that allows me to relate and talk with them on a level that most people can't.

 

Depends. Lot of my friends are female but generally have an easier time relating with guys. Especially other transguys, for obvious reasons. :lol:

Women just seemed more readily willing to befriend me, I dunno.

 

I tend to socialise with women better. I think it's because I find men ridiculous half the time; the obsession with maintaining their masculinity, misogyny, and the general macho idea that most straight men have.

 

I think you're generalizing too much. What you're saying about women being superficial is hackneyed criticism of the kind I would expect from some boring men's magazine.

You're only 17, so most people around you are going to naturally be superficial, women and men alike. To the girls you talk to, technology may be a superficial topic, but do they go around judging you about it? I think not, but too bad you can't do the same.

 

I'm equally awkward around most guys and girls, especially in groups... one-on-one, it's a lot different, since there's less peer pressure and less need to put up a front. I probably have more guy friends overall, but we communicate a lot less, and the relationships are more casual and interest-based.

 

I absolutely get along with women better than men. They reflect my own feminine nature and it comes out easily in front of them

In retrospect, that reply came out sounding too aggressive; I wasn't even mad when I typed that, but I don't like to see girl-bashing and the feeling isn't mollified if it's coming from a girl. Most likely the guys do gossip and engage in pointless chatter but their male privilege shields them from your scrutiny. Rather than making blanket statements, maybe you should try to discuss specific things with your female classmates?

A lot of people, including me, revile the technological era we're in - I hate how people are glued to their phones, and Facebook, so in my opinion the girls your surrounded with are not shallow if they're not transfixed on it like everyone else.

 

I have a mix of friends. I find women are more accepting of my sexuality though.

 

Oh really? What kind of music? I can never talk about it with anyone because nobody I know is into classical music or hip hop, my two favorite genres. As a woman (the gender I am now) I'm obsessed with OSTs with Avatar, Titanic, and The Hunger Games among my favorites. I'm also a huge Junichi Masuda fan who's been producing awesome stuff since Pokemon Red.

You're really worldly for your age if you like the stuff I like. Adults my age give me blank stares anytime I delve into my love of music. I can't help liking what I like, especially since I picked it up from my father. If you're like me then I understand the alienation you feel.

 

i think i find it a tad easier with girls. but i can also talk to guys easy enough. i reckon its more dependent on their personality.

 

I tend to feel more "at home" around women, but am able to talk to men when the need arises.

 

I have more close female friends...but when i come to general people I get alone better with men. We have more in common for some reason and the wide variety of subject we discuss. I prefer news, games, tech...so...yeah i get where you are coming from.

I get along better with men, with the exception of my 2 close female friends and other lesbians.

 

I'm really, really awkward around men, probably because of^. But I can talk to women just fine. But I've noticed that a lot of straight men are awkward around me too, while most girls seem fine to talk about sensitive or private stuff in front of me, like they don't consider me a guy.

 

Generally I feel more comfortable with girls, probably because I'm, uh, not the most masculine person. Also, even before I came out to anyone, some girls said that they considered me to be a girl in friendship-status. That was kind of awkward.

 

I find men easier to talk to. We usually have more in common and I don't really mind what they think of me as much I guess. I'm sure there are some women with my interests just they are fewer.

I pretty much let others speak for me anyways, so I don't exactly count unless talking to people in online games counts. lol.
