I have a better understanding of women so naturally I do get along better or understand their way of thinking better then I do men. I have never had a really big understanding of the way men think....I even have a hard time buying gifts for men! LOL....just because I have been around my sisters etc so much. Do you think you get along better with men or women or is it about the same?

I would have to say I get well with both men and women. I learned not to question the way a male thinks because it's very different, most of the time, than females. I have both male and female friends but am closer with the females. As far as bosses go, I do better working for a male. I have a female boss now and we relate well but like the idea of a male telling me what to do and how to do it. Maybe it's an age related theory. I don't like gossip and find that working for a female can be a bit caddy in the gossip department. Just my thoughts!

Oh gosh I get alone better with men as I swear way to much trying to stop kind of like smoking. And I love to fish. And what to buy them easy. They always need socks as they put holes in them or tosh them into trash. or tools or a gift card to get there hair cut believe it or not they hate to pay for it. or T-shirts always get a size to big as there belly will show. I like crafts but the woman I know are way to over bored in being picky on perfect. Even on mine so I don't do crafts with them anymore. Pick on me once ok next time no more. I no longer let people make fun of me. and women do that more then men. I mean you can come out of the house with a house coat on and they are fine with it as long as you don't forget the fishing pole.Your friend onlydia

I think that I personally get along with men better. I don't really know why, I guess it is because I grew up around mostly boys. I had 3 sisters but my 2 oldest sisters were teenagers when I was born and my other sister is 8 years older than me. I played with mostly boys growing up, so I guess it has just flown over to adulthood with me as well. I work around primarily men at work. I get along with them great, far better than any of the other women who work at my employer. Yes, they can be rowdy at times, but sometimes I see where they are coming from.

I think I can get along with both men and women well. But I remmeber there were coupe strange girls at school act very extreme and nobody ever liked to hang around with them. I think it well depends on people's personality, although I'm quiet, I have no problems getting along with anybody.

It depends. Most of my friends are girls but in High School most people I was close to were men. I think it depends on what age you are, what you're into, and about a million other factors. Over your lifespan, the answer to this question will change for most people. I know if has for me and I'm expecting it to go back at some point for reasons I, as of yet, don't know.

I am a tomboy who grew up. when I was a child, I had two best friends that were girls but I had friends that were boys too. The same thing happened when I was in highschool, My group of froiends were equall amounts of guys and girls. because I wasever that girly and I,like sports , I get along with guys just as well as women these days. In fact I had to get used to being with only women, I am not married nor do I have children so I may not have that much in common but I can hang out. With the guys , it is so much easier. I love baseball, football, and hockey so I can just walk over and talk sports.It is so easy.

I am more like a guy I feel, I rather talk about my teams than anything personal.

I think with me it is about the same. When I was growing up I was more of a tomboy than anything, so a lot of my friends growing up were boys as well as girls. I guess I just got used to hanging around with both of them.

I get along better with woman. I think my man reason is because I don't trust men. Not even to be their friends. I have had a couple guy friends that I seriously thought they were my friend and then they would tell me how they felt. When I would tell them they are my friend and couldn't have a relation with them they would get all p.oed and I never hear of them again...oh except for all the rumors they start to spread!! Men are just so much more immature than woman. But then again you can have more females stab you in the back or talk about you behind your back than men.Because woman are more competative than men.

I find i get along so much better with man,i always understand man in that kind of environment(friendship),i find them to be honest and right to the point...mo b.s!They don't gossip as much and they are fun to hang with,my male friends are also good listener for most part.Now if you where to put them in a other kind of relationship with me than they would become jerk and i wouldn't understand the way they think eitherHave a good day.

as i am a girl,maybe a better listener than guys .so i hope others listen to me when i was in trouble or upset ,then girls were the best to get along well with.girls and boys think in different ways. u can play with guys ,u can fall in love with them,but it is hard for u to find a listener among them.......

That is a very good answer...because I do find that men listen but don't hear what you are saying!

i tend to get along better with men,as many women like to gossip(a thing which i abhor)and also i like outdoor activities more,most women prefer to stay indoors.

Neither. Well actually I "get along" with both equally. But I don't often enjoy either one in a deeper friendship roll. I'm completely generalizing here and when I say this. it doesn't mean "everyone" falls into these comments, but it's been my experience far too often. Women are judgemental and backstabbing. Men have ulterior motives. Yeah, cynical, I know. Again, I don't feel this way bout "everyone" but I think a lot of people fall into these categories.

Hello jillhill. I think that it is the same with me. I usually get along well with those who are friendly and social, but not those who are super-quiet, whom I find it hard to make friends with...

jillhill I am a person who can get along with both sexes however, I feel that I get along with the male species very well. With women sometimes you will find a lot of competition. Women are known for scoping other women up and down, checking them out from head to toe whereas a man doesn't check you out in the same fashion as a woman would.

i think if you are woman,maybe you get along better with men. if you are man, maybe you will get along better with woman.men and women are native friends. they are absorbed each other.do you think so?

I'm male but I tend to get along better with women. To me, women are easier to talk to. And past experiences have proven to me that men will turn on another man in a heartbeat. Especially when there's an attractive woman he's trying to show off for. Men are cattier than people claim that women are.
