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.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@ThePerfectUsername that is fair enough :)
abe182 · 51-55, M
Guys bore me and I have enough interaction with them in the posts. Women are more dynamic and fun to talk to and easier to open up to.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@abe182 fair call
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
agreed. I do have some male friends that share similar ideas and guys I think are cool but most of my friends that I PM are women.@abe182
I think I've got a few dude friends here 🤔
SW-User
@PlumBerries He's a stud 😎.

sarabee1995 · 26-30, FVIP
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.
Yulianna · 26-30, F
@sarabee1995 for sure, one or two honourable exceptions, who remain nameless.
erika88 · 26-30, F
@sarabee1995 as if it were tinder 🙄...
Bros b4 hoes 😁
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
StraCat · 41-45, M
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. 😒
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@StraCat cant argue the pm part lol
StraCat · 41-45, M
@PlumBerries Happens to us all I guess lol!
JavaJoe · 51-55, M
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.
JavaJoe · 51-55, M
@PlumBerries yeah I know. I have heard it a time or two before. Always makes me laugh.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@JavaJoe yes lets make bromances great again here lol
JavaJoe · 51-55, M
@PlumBerries LMAO! are you saying I have to tear down my Bromance Wall???
Ciaotutti · F
I think the guys do form good friendships on here. I know of quite a lot.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@Ciaotutti oh ok so it does happen at least lol
Ciaotutti · F
@PlumBerries yeah 😊
rjc36 · 61-69, M
I think that there are some men here that do talk to others. I would consider myself included. But agree most men only talk to women.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@rjc36 that's cool you are open to chats with anyone though
rjc36 · 61-69, M
Yes I would say that I am opened to chatting with anybody that wants to.@PlumBerries
SW-User
Probably why there's less drama between them
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@SW-User maybe lol
NCCindy · 36-40, F
Funny, you're not far off ... the majority of my husband's friends are husbands of my friends !!!

And the friendship is basically one of having a few beers when we're all together.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@NCCindy I never really thought about male friendships much before but now that I have been thinking, I need answers to this haha
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
Women get on great with each other and form friendships with other women but yeah seems very rare that guys are like that?

🙄

Lol, I hope to remember this post when I see some girls fighting so I can copy paste the link before I start mixing earth with water.

I have some guys that I talk to quite often btw. (Not being sarcastic)
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@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. 💑
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@Kwek00 I 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
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@PlumBerries 💑 You'll come to it over time. 👫
Heterosexual males just grow into it a bit earlier. 😜
I seek nothing more than friendships between people here. A good conversation and some genuine company.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@LandonWinchester best way to be here I think
@PlumBerries oh absolutely
SW-User
I'm not on here much to really say but I do have couple of male friends that I talk to occasionally here. But, like I said, I'm rarely here.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@SW-User that's cool though
SW-User
@PlumBerries I try my best!
lubovont · 70-79, M
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
Dainbramadge · 56-60, M
Not really just women. I will chat with anyone who likes to chat back. Men or woman. I have about half and half in my friends list.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@Dainbramadge variety is good :)
CharlieZ · 70-79, M
I have a lot of good male friends here.
And interact with them daily.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@CharlieZ that's awesome :D
CharlieZ · 70-79, M
@PlumBerries It is.🙂
ravenwind43 · 51-55, F
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 · 51-55, F
@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.
Just4fun · 51-55, M
I think your right I think the anonymity has a lot to do with it
HannibalMontanimal · 26-30, M
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.
SW-User
@HannibalMontanimal Ooooooooooooooooooo 👀
HannibalMontanimal · 26-30, M
@SW-User Maybe one day I'll tell u not today though
SW-User
Yulianna · 26-30, F
good question.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@Yulianna thanks
Yulianna · 26-30, F
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.
angie8819 · 56-60, F
know a few boys on here who chat with other boys
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@angie8819 but close enough to be friends?
angie8819 · 56-60, F
@PlumBerries just online friends

Mm they are flirty but they are friends too.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@SW-User I mean men being friends with other men here
SW-User
@PlumBerries 🙈 I'm sort of sleepy.sorry.
Yes I've seen guys being friendly with other guys.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@SW-User all good and ok cool
MyPathOfTotality · 46-50, M
Now that you mention it 🤔
All my friends that I talk to are women so I guess so.
MyPathOfTotality · 46-50, M
@PlumBerries It is what it is. I came back because I missed talking to my friends. I value them greatly.
MyPathOfTotality · 46-50, M
@SW-User I'm used to it😂 I'll take what I can get🤗
SW-User
@MyPathOfTotality 🤭🤭😁
mountainman1234 · 70-79, M
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 ,,,
SW-User
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.
FloridaGuy · 46-50, M
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.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@FloridaGuy I don't really look at many profiles tbh. that is fair enough with what you said though.. just difference between men and women I think
FloridaGuy · 46-50, M
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
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@FloridaGuy interesting to think of it that way
TheThinker · 56-60, M
There's a few guys I chat to on here by PM in a friendly manner, as well as quite a few women, some of whom actually are women.

It's probably around 50/50.
Kobrassky · 26-30, M
Yea we’re just distant cool like we’re not enemies but not always talking either
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@Kobrassky strange but fair enough lol
AN1991 · 31-35, M
Guys are chill with other guys almost every time by default. But there are so many beautiful people on here, guys and girls, so why not?
SW-User
No it's not like that. It depends on what they are here for.
Jlhzfromep · M
I have, on occasion, found a few guys with similar interest to chat with.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
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.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@PlumBerries In our own special way 👨‍❤️‍👨
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@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 · 41-45, M
@Kwek00
Light in the loafers?
That's the sweetest thing you said to me so far Joe. 😅

SW-User
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.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@SW-User haha damn I didn't know it was that complicated
Straylight · 31-35, F
What about @SW-User and @deadgerbil's epic bromance?
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@Straylight oh yay so there is actually a current bromance here? lol
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
No. Many years ago I married a woman and that cured me.
SW-User
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?

I have 60/40 in gender friendships
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
Most of my male bonding happens in discussions. For some reason I rarely PM men. Most of the men who PM me have some wife fetish or are bisexual.
bearinthebigbluehouse · 26-30, M
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/

IamBack · 31-35, M
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
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@IamBack yeah I get that.. I guess they outweigh the good ones like any other group of people here
IamBack · 31-35, M
@PlumBerries i guess it's safe to say that there's a portion of people here for wrong reason, I say 40% of women and 80% of men if not more

which I think leads to a lot of confusion about certain things like who's genuine about their experience and who's not
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@IamBack you are most likely spot on with that
wildbill83 · 41-45, M
nah, I come here to be sarcastic and to antagonize stupid people mostly... 🤔
wildbill83 · 41-45, M
@PlumBerries anyone who uses social media solely for "talking to women" is rather pathetic/miserable imo... 🤔
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
@wildbill83 I wouldn't say it is pathetic in some cases
ThePerfectUsername · 70-79, M
It's not working bill. I quite like you. :-) @wildbill83
Ciaotutti · F
There are men on here who are sound as a £ pound I know plenty...💕
DDonde · 31-35, M
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.
xixgun · M
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.
