    I personally think that girls make better friends than guys. They're more mature, more friendly, not afraid to show their emotions and more fun. I do have guy friends but I prefer the company of girls.

    It all depends on the individual. Their gender or lack of gender doesn't matter.

    And more guys I'm sure would be more open about their emotions and all that if it weren't for gender roles and the accompanying socialisation.

    No preference. Each individual has their strong and weak points.

    No preference. You know, my closest friend is non-binary. I've known them since we were kids. Hell, we dated for two years.

    I think it really just depends on who you're surrounding yourself with. Interesting people aren't necessarily one gender over another. Some of the most banal conversations I've had have been with mothers and twelve year old boys. I'm just not fond of talking about toddlers spitting bananas and Dragon Ball Z.

    Male.

    I've been around too many females that were catty and backstabbing.

    No prefrence, but i only have one girl friend (she doesnt know about me but she like, literally loves gay people). Ive just grown up being friends with guys, i feel like i know more 'how their minds work' and can understand them better.

    Edit - although its better being friends with girls cause you dont get straight crushes like with guys.

    It depends on the person a lot more than the gender... in fact gender has nearly nothing to do with it, I think. It's probably more to do with the kind of life the person leads and what other company they keep. There are different kinds of people belonging to every gender.

    Guys are, for me at least. Me and the other cheerleaders use to always say we were all best friends but we'd all talk behind each others backs and spread rumors about each other but with guys I've been best friends with they don't do that, the only problem with guys is when they start developing feelings.

    Doesn't really matter. There are extremes on the fringes, but no matter where you go, people tend to have the same values. Just different motivations.

    lol, asking the question here, where half of the members are non binary or trans, has its charm.
    Gender has nothing to do with the fact if you will be a good friend to someone or not.

    eh... some of us are gay, so showing emotions comes with the whole package!
    95% of my friends are guys and my best-friends were always guys so I can't tell ... but I know girls are nice too, at least the ones I did spoke with (from EC) :icon_bigg

    I wouldn't say they make better friends in general, but I tend to feel more comfortable around girls.

    My interests and sense of humor are more typically masculine and I relate better to guys, so I'd say for me the answer is guys. But it's different for everyone.
     
  16. No preference for me, but if I had to choose, it would be the company of guy friends. I know for sure that they're not friends with me just because I'm gay. I share most of my interests and hobbies with most of the guys at school.

    It seems to me that women are more accepting of gay people than men are. That makes it easier for me to befriend girls as opposed to boys. I'm able to be myself around my female friends much more so than my male friends. My personality and interests also fall more in line with what my female friends like than my male friends.

    I don't know. I see the person's temper and not his/her gender. I don't care about this...but I notice I make friend easily with gay guys :grin:
     
  19. To me, it makes no difference. I have male and female friends, and they are all awesome (otherwise I wouldn't be friends with them). Although I will say that most of my guy friends are coincidentally gay.

    No preference. I've been backstabbed by both genders, and close friends with both genders.
