I have 4 male friends, and one female friend. It's a small group, and we've been friends for over 20 years.
I've wondered why I don't have more female friends because people comment on my friend list often.
I worked in a predominantly male industry, and was surrounded by men. We were together all day. I get them. I've always been more outdoors than in. I'd rather plant my garden, then decorate my house.
I was a landscaper, so when I picked up my kids from school, I was dirty. I would go from work directly to my son's basketball game, and it was the dads who called me over. The moms weren't that cool.
Having said that, I like who I like, and I'm comfortable with men.
I can talk with any gender and I strongly support all women.
I'm a regular woman who happens to have guy friends.

@BeefySenpie Women do tend, in general, to alter their lives more when they meet a guy they think is Mr. Right. And men tend to center friendships on mutual activities (golf, hunting, fishing. professional sports).

Ain't none of my business. Might have had a lot of brothers growing up, might work in a male-dominated field so of course most of the people she meets are gonna be dudes, might just not share a lot of "feminine" interests or hobbies, might be crushing on one of her guy friends [i]hard[/i] and tag along to things with him, might just be awkward and latching on to them out of convenience, might be a trans dude who isn't out or hasn't started HRT yet, might be in a huge polycule and dating all of those guys, might be any number of things. But it also ain't none of my business.

@Madhatter Why on earth would I want to speak ill of my friends (or anyone) behind their backs?
If I have an issue with a friend, I speak with her directly, and I expect her to do the same.
Part of a good friendship is the ability to be open and honest, and through it to come to know, understand and love each other more.
And since writing and poetry tend to be intimate and revealing of the writer's inner self - these things come up quite often.
We even have a particular way of dealing with it. NVC (Non-Violent Communication.)

@NankerPhelge It's disgusting that it doesn't mean anything?
@NankerPhelge Ah you don't have a sense of humour I see. Well I will just report you too. See how that got us nowhere 😂

I remember a quote I read years ago that said 'the only thing men and women have in common is their distrust of women'. Some truth to that I guess.

I don’t have an opinion on that. It’s not my life and so it’s not my concern.

Trust issues. They don’t value friendships.

@AnonymouslyYours I don’t have a huge circle either way, and I do have some good women friends. But I tend to have more male friends.
Same here. I'm definitely a quality over quantity type, as I want to expend energy only on those truly worthy and capable of reciprocating.@bijouxbroussard
