    I've read somewhere that we feel more comfortable around the sex that we are not attracted to, but countless straight people who feel it is easier for them to talk to the opposite sex, seem to offer a counterexample to this.

    Personally I find it much easier talking to men than to women: I can be more flippant and witty, because not being sexually attracted to them I feel more at ease, I feel that I don't need to be cautious to not appear flirty with them because it is socially acceptable: with women I don't want to come across as a 'perv'.

    I also feel more similar in some ways to men, and I often lack the knowledge of the social codes involved in relating to women, because I generally don't have much to bond over with when it comes to straight women.

    How does it work for you?

    Men are much easier for me to talk to , there's no attraction no worries about being nervous sadly I'm kinda giving up on all that now . I actually liked having male friends :icon_sad:

    Easier to talk to guys. They seem to be more laid back.

    Women. Hands down. They are just much more understanding of my quirks and overall tend to be more warm and welcoming. On the other hand, I just don't get most guys. Like, at all. That said, when I do click with a guy I tend to bond deeper and faster than I would with most women.

    Girls are definitely easier to talk to. Like... I have very few male friends compared to female friends, haha.

    It so just depends for me, which is why my group of friends is a mixed-gendered group. There are things I'm more comfortable talking about with guys, i.e. "guy things" that would make me feel awkward to mention around girls, but then, sometimes the "guy talk" goes too far and I feel alienated from the guys and would rather talk to girls. It really depends on what I am talking about.

    Depends on the person, not on the sex/gender.

    It depends on the topic of discussion. In general I am more comfortable with women

    I honestly do not know why.
    Feel like shipping? Female.

    I'm not a social person, although usually I would prefer females they don't have egos the size of mountains:wink:

    I can easily talk to girls, unless it's a girl I don't know too well who I find attractive or if I'm interested in her.. then again sometimes I'll just be outright flirty if I know they are also interested in the same sex. Guys I have a much easier time talking with, I never get nervous in front of them then again I don't have many guy friends.

    I think it depends on the person and the chemistry you have rather than gender. I have 4 close friends, 2 of them male, 2 female. I think I tend to relax a bit more around guys in general though.

    I talk to both pretty easily, but I have felt lately that I feel more comfortable around guys! I've actually always wanted to hang out with guys more often, with nothing more than friendship involved, but they always pushed me away when I was younger just because I was a girl and all :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    but I got great guy friends now!

    Usually guys more.. But now that I'm looking a bit more "feminine", lately I will sometimes get bullied.

    Women!

    It's funny how some gay guys get along with women and some lesbians get a long with men. Yet we want the exact opposite lmao

    Maybe gays that feel very easy around women should "teach" lesbians how to communicate with them better. And viceversa
