I don't make guy friends...
I've noticed this for a while. Aside from an old college roommate whom I've known for years and the folks at the local car clubs, I generally prefer the company of women over men.
Although I'm finding that as I get older that this is somewhat problematic... |

Do you know straight men that don't prefer the company of women over men? What am I missing here?

Are you kidding? I'd much rather hang out with guys than women, as long as I'm taken and not looking for a piece of strange. In fact, the only reason I got married was because I realized after a few years that Mrs. Lee was the only woman I didn't get sick of being around, no matter how much time I spent with her. Any other woman I'm not nailing? Hell no.

I'm the same AFC. I have few guy friends, and most are guys I've know 20+ years. Women make better conversation.

I tend to agree with you. Maybe it is just the city I live in. I find many men(not all mind u) are like proud peacocks, don't mix too well and don't want to talk. I find that the cities in the US, Palm Springs, Prescott, Phoenix etc are way friendlier.
I love women but my marital status does not allow it!  Yes I find women are easier to talk to.

I get that. I stick to myself as well except at work, when I am able to socialize at a professional level with anyone. The couple real buddies I do have don't even live near me.

I don't hang out. I'm not much of a social animal.
All of the men friends I have I have for a reason, mostly work related.

I was in this boat in my early college days while transitioning between groups of friends. Women that you're not nailing can be interesting to hang around with, but their constant drama gets old pretty quickly. I greatly prefer the company of guys where you can say what you want, or nothing at all. Sometimes the absence of conversation is a bonus.....
 The biggest exception to this is my wife, which is probably why she's my wife. I enjoy our conversation, but we can also sit down and watch a ballgame without any needless conversation because she enjoys sports as much as I do.

I also have a small group of old dudes (like me) that I have known for 20+ years...
However I do have one lady friend in that group I have known for 20+ years. And the one lady tech that works in our shop is one of my favorite co-workers (because she is smart and a hard worker). And a lady crafts-person that works in a shop on our complex is very interesting to talk to (she paints murals, born in France, went to Woodstock). IMHO men are easier to talk to but women are more interesting to talk to... YMMV

i am an equal opportunity friender. but my closest buddies are male.
i have alot of female friends. most of them are single. the crazy thing is; i can see why they are single. they spend so much of their time being "buds", that they are clearly in the friend-zone. as we get older, they reek of desperation. it is a strange cycle. i just like people.

To be clear, I have not a single female "friend". I am friendly with several females but not a single one would ever get a casual phone call or text or drop in by me (which I guess is how I can tell if you're actually a friend).
