Well...in real life for me, ecepting my time as a Marine, the overwhelming majority of my friendships, close or casual, have been wth women...soooooo...

Intewesting.. personally Zaby interacts more with guys 👀
Guilty as charged. For me it's an acknowledged personality defect inflicted by an absent dad and being brought up as the only male in the family. I spent decades hanging out with lads on motor bikes etc (shared interest) in the hope I'd understand em one day but as I've got older I've finally learned to accept me just as I am. I'm comfortable around women and (imo) have a lot more in common with them than I'll ever have with men and for me that's just the way it is.
I've seen some guys here chat and seem to be friends, but yes it is rare. Most of the guys here do seem to consider this place to be some kind of dating or hook up app.
Eh. I think for some that is the intent. For me it's very similar to real life. I just naturally have more female friends than male. The majority of guys (not all of course) that hit me up here get all strange in the pm's. 😒
I think for the most part you hit the nail on the head. I have friended guys in the past at EP, but they’re usually just interested in the women I was friends with. I still will friend a guy or two here. But it's rare.
@PlumBerries I'm not sure about the girls (I really don't)
but through my years in cyberspace... I just notice that most guys like talking to girls. This isn't "all guys" , but yeah... I back up your perception with my own. But guys also talk to eachother and have male friends. But I just think it leans more towards females then males for the overall of the male poppulation.
Girls are just better PlumBerries... it's okay to accept this. 💑
@Kwek00I don't think girls are better or guys are better.. we are different but but not for better or worse I think.. I am just curious about it is all.. wasn't trying to implying that women are better by any means though
I talk to men as much as women. I can fully understand why women here are less willing to chat or open up to men here... but because of that I have found many more male friends here. I'm pretty good either way
I sincerely doubt there are that many true female/female friendships based on my own experiences. I have found that to be the most difficult to cultivate on this site since I've been here except for a handful and they know who they are🙂
@ravenwind43 I think a lot of women SAY that have friendships with other women but does that extend to private messages and/or off the site, or are they in reality mostly talking to men? I imagine it's the latter.
Why does it sound like you're saying women get a long really well with eachother and guys can't do that too ? We can do that too. Just because you don't hear about it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Men don't communicate with each other the same how women do it.
In real life, I've always had far more female friends than male friends, so my "friend list" on here...and in other social media...are naturally female. However there have been a few guys with whom it's fun to share some laughs and common thoughts and they have been "friended" as well. I think if I befriended more males IRL then I'd befriend more here.
I have many friends of both genders on here ,,, and I chat with know ever is on at the time ,,, but it does work out that I chat more with the ladies as they seen to be on at the same time as me ,,,

I come on here to join in with other people's fun.. male or female. But you make an interesting point about the friendship balance gender-wise.
Do you see many straight men with the “Meet Men” in their profile? Irl, I find men will open up to one another, but that trust takes more time and seems somehow more fragile. I don’t know if most men see it that way.
I agree with that. Another thing is that a friendship with a woman in person might be threatening to a guy’s female partner. Online connections can be just as meaningful and powerful as any, but in some ways it comes with a compartmentalizing element that might make it less threatening. 🤷🏼♂️@PlumBerries
Speaking only for myself: I have more guy friends that I exchange PMs with than women. I do have some women who are simply friends that I PM regularly. I also have some women that want to talk sex all the time through PM. It makes SW interesting.
@PlumBerries Not from my side. Where ever I post @Kwek00 is there being a pest. I suspect he has a man crush on me but I don't feel the same way about him. Is he a little light in the loafers? Good question.
@Kwek00 Light in the loafers? That's the sweetest thing you said to me so far Joe. 😅

We will exchange comments in threads and posts but are unlikely to PM each other for any length of time. It's guy thing. Until you really know a guy there is a minimum distance that you must keep. The formula for calculating this distance is length of penis x 10 + bicep circumference.
No. Many years ago I married a woman and that cured me.

OOH, A Woman! Hi woman! Wanna chat? How bout a PM? Wow, a REAL woman! Tell me about being a woman! Send me a pic? Can I send you one? So what are ya wearing? You married? Would ya cheat if you are? PM me back!
Of course. I come for AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL the sex. ʕ ᵔᴥᵔʔ .............. Nah I got some bois on here.... They my dawgs until the end of this place. ┬┴┬┴┤•ᴥ •ʔ/
I used to have one guy friend on EP, men are usually weird on this website, hardly any straight headed dudes to talk to, they're mostly pedos, wife sharers or cross dressers
while I believe women (other than s!uts) come here to really share their thoughts and feelings and experiences
I have a some guy friends on here, too. I think for me... I'm not used to being friends with women IRL, and I'm not really sure why that is at this point. Maybe because I'm quiet and scary looking? So I guess the range of friendships and relationships that I can have in this virtual space is much wider than IRL.
No. I just come to the site. I talk to whoever. IRL, my wife does not get along with other women very well. Not because she's a bitch but usually because the other women tend to be catty towards my wife.
