I've always gotten along better with men than women because I just never got into the same things most women are into such as soaps, shopping, make-up, tearing down other women etc.
Not into fishing or watching sports either but talking about farts is funny stuff.
I had a habit of unintentionally hurting the feelings of women whereas men took my teasing in stride.
But I really do wish I could find a female pal or two for those times when I am "girlish"
Most of my friends are women. But that's mainly because the only men I meet are at work, and I am not going to buddy up with my male coworkers. Plus, nearly all of them are married, and thus not available for outside-of-work activities.
I enjoy fun open minded people. I never consider their color or sex. I do find that my humor doesnt play everywhere. Especially with religous people.
