I got lots of friends around me. There are the childhood, school friends, friends at work, and other circle of friends. I got so many shared experiences with them through the years. I enjoy both their companies. Befriended with the same gender is really enjoyable for we share lot of things in common. It's just so happened that I found out that I have more lasting friendship with mostly of my guy friends. Until now, I keep on wondering what it is in them that keep the relationship to last long? Have you any idea? How about you,which gender do you think you had more lasting friendship? Ideas and experiences are welcome if you care to share it.

for me any gender will do... as long as you trust each other share each other and protect your friendship to last...

at guy it doesnt matter how we feel it goed like this "hey, how are you doing" "hey... yeah my wife is angry, and i feel like a ***** ** *****" (sometimes that's the same as saying "good :P) "so have you seen a good movie?" XD like almost all my friends are guys, but i'd like to have a few girls as friends cuz. you actually talk about other things. but the worst thing is if a friend starts to ignore you and become the opposite of a friend..

So just like it's still best to be with the same gender. But yes, regardless of gender, it will depends on how we mingled with them or treat each other for us have a lasting friendship. Have a nice day and thanks for sharing your opinion, hylke. Happy mylotting.

For me, although I am a girl, I really prefer being friends with guys. Even before I realized that, I didn't realize that almost all my close friends are guys. I think because women are overly dramatic, and likes to make fuss about the littlest of things. Even though I am a girl, I am not like that, I act boyish in a good way, I really am not fond of the dramas girls really like to undergo in. But don't get me wrong, I am not a lesbian, I have a boyfriend of 3years hehe, also, I am not a b***h that likes to hang around guys. It is just that I feel comfortable with guy friends, I relate to them more compared to my female friends.

Thanks kafueenu, That's one thing, I'm not a lesbian too, but probably for some people, it is with guys that found good chemistry instead for girls. Not bad at all anyway. Thanks for posting here and may you have a nice day.

Depends on your personality. Since I went to an all girls' school until high school, all of my friends up til then were all girls, but when I became a college student I started to befriend more and more guys. I think that I'm much closer to my guy friends, because I've always been very boyish, but that doesn't make them better friends than my girl friends. Yes, I spend more time with my guy friends now and maybe I even have more fun than them, but they don't understand me the way my girl friends do, and my girl friends have known me for longer, so I guess my guy and girl friends are pretty even :p

It's just normal to be fond of same gender. But yes, it would be better to have both. We could learn from them in different aspect. Thanks for dropping your lines on this post. Have a nice day to you and happy mylotting.

Guys are generally much better friends than girls when you are a girl like me. Don't get me wrong since I got both kind of friendships(GUYS and GALS). I appreciate them for different reasons. When I am talking about serious matters I go for girls to talked with and exchange views although some can't avoid telling others about what I told them which the guys won't divulge if I asked for their help. Just that, most guys are uneasy when it comes to what they label as "girl talk" as oppose to what's acceptable to them as topics of discussion. I love guys when they appreciate me on my appearance because there will be no catty remarks on my back. Some girls don't utter these remarks but most do. Anyways I love em both for their support.

Nice clarification, starrose. You hit some points of preferring guy friends than girls, but it's a fact that the same gender are more easy to get along with and there's always advantages and disadvantages though. Thanks for your shared views on this post. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

Dear friend, I feel being friend do not have much with gender. If they keep a good relationship it is well and good. But at times some friendships turn to more bitter when it breaks especailly with girls. Moslty friendly relationships seem not to last long especailly with girls after marriage.

I guess it's good to have a guy friend and a girl friend. Guys and girls can have different ideas in every situation which are really helpful. I don't really have close guy friends but it's also nice to chat with them once in a while and sometimes it also depends on the topic of the conversation. Some topics may be more comfortable for guys to answer and some topics are not.

Got you there,Mareeh, Though we find guys as good friends as well as girls, still since they are of opposite gender, put a limitation in some aspects of being friends. For there are sensitive topic which are not comfortable to discuss with them, unless you are that comfi to do so with them. Thanks for your views and have a nice day.

I think naturally we are drawn to the same gender for friendship because it's not awkward. You can share easily with someone of the same gender. But personally. it's always nice to have friends from both gender. It widens your network and you learn too.

Well of course, having been friends with both will enhance your knowledge and experiences which I believe that those really helped us to be a better person. Thanks for responding and have a nice day.

I want to have more guy friends because they are generous and don't like gossiping. In my experience with guy friends as female is that they love to talk about funny things and not about other people. Just try to find friend guys who respects you tho and not the perv and bad influence. But then I have girl friends too but not that many, i only friend the true one...

Your're right, guys are not inclined to make gossips. Their generosity probably brought about being gentleman. Wish you could find good guy friends and more girls too. Have a nice day and thanks for commenting on this post. Happy mylotting.

In my experience, I have lasting friendship with my girl friends maybe because I'm a girl too and yes we have a lot in common. We've been friends since we were in preschool until now that we are graduating college students. I do have friends who are guys but we are not really that close. I guess both gender are better to make friends with. What matters most is that despite the differences in your personalities, you still enjoy each others company. It is only in your good and trusted friends whom you can share your deepest darkest secrets and the darkest days of life. Friendship is a gift. No matter how short life is, let's grab every moment to make friends with everyone we meet each day. God bless!

Thanks iamdee, Nice words..Friends are gift for everyone, just like kids to couple. Making friendship is something given for free and we just have to find and take care of it to have trusted people around us. Just like you, me too have lasting friendship but both guys and girls, we've been more than 20 years into our friendship. Thanks and wish we could have more years with our friends. Have a nice day.

A friend cannot be chosen based on gender. A good friend is one who is loving and caring. friendship does not mean that he is the best or she is the best

Hi kendrathil, I must agree with you that friendship develops not because you made it, but it like a voluntarily feeling that will blossom between both of you. Thanks for responding here. Have a nice day.

Hi douwie, Well, just like other posts here, varies in preference is the key to have a successful friendship with people. I assume you're a guy who chosed more of the same gender as friends. Thanks for your shared views on this post. Cheers and have a nice day.
