I have always gotten along better with boys or men than women. I can't relate to the bickering, backstabbing, catty nature of the ultra feminine and soap opera type lifestyle a lot of women seem to desire. I prefer openness, saying exactly what you mean, getting straight to the point, and confronting your problems face on. There's no bull s**t with my guy friends; whereas I feel like I have to mask more around females in order to not seem like a complete weirdo. I can talk about my nerdy interests, be "vulgar" and honest, and relax around men. The only time I don't feel comfortable around men is when they have an interest in me that is other than friendship. I find that women who are more down-to-earth and level headed are good company as well. I don't want drama and pointless conversations from anyone, male or female. If I can have a meaningful exchange with someone, that is rare and worth remembering.
