Does gender play any role in friendship ?

I myself find it hard to say that gender doesn't have significant role inside of my friendship. Because in fact, although I'm a girl, I have more boy (space) friends than girl (space) friends. I don't know, but I feel much more comfortable being around boys than girls. Maybe because I think most my girl (space) friends are so childish and overacted. And I feel safer around boys, because when I'm near them, there's no one make fun of me or laugh at me... And also, nobody teased me when I passed the streets with my boy (space) friends...

I have more girl friends since I am more comfortable being friends with the same gender since I can relate with them, but i also have a few good friends which ae guys, they are really few and they would rather hang out with their guy friends and play computer games than hang out with us girls.

i think gender is not used as a basis to choose a friend, though i have more guy friends than girls. i just feel more comfortable being with guys than with girls, since high school until i finished school, but when i started working, i learned to be friends with my girl office mates. but this time my bestfriend and my closest friends are all guys.

For me, gender does not have significant role in friendship. I have girl friends, boy friends, and gays. I love all of them, we all bond really well despite our difference in gender.

That would depend upon the person's preferences. If you feel comfortable telling your secrets to boys then go for it, otherwise tell it to the boys. But, gender should not be a consideration in choosing a friend because one person cannot play the same role at the same time.

Gender shouldn't play a role in your friendship because everyone is human! You should be equally as friendly to girls as boys but I feel that (in my case since I'm a male) that female friendships are more intimate, and, well it's harder to explain. My close female friends, I'm usually attracted to in some way, so the relationships are more "soft". With males, I provide a "tough love" relationship because guys are guys, and I can't be intimate with another guy because that's totally against my sexuality. So you shouldn't have a gender bias but when you have friends of different genders you usually treat them a tad bit differently.

well friendship docent have any thing to do with gender, when a person is a friend he or she should be like a friend and there is no other special treatment in friendship based on gender , well according to my view i will not give any importance to gender when it comes to friendship for me both are equal

I believe they don't. Any friendship transcends gender. True, there are those all-girls or all-boys bonding moments but that's all there is to it, just bonding with your own gender. It's the animal nature in us, I think :) Personally, what's important is that your friends will be there for you as you would be when they need you.

Hi, I don't give importance to gender when it comes to friendship. I like to make friends with everybody as long as they are nice and decent people. Friendship depends upon similarity of interests and how far one is willing to stretch and grow.

Gender is never a problem with me when i am making friends. Yes, i have my group of girl friends but i also have some gay friends. I may seldom meet my gay friends but i can really relate to them and enjoy their company whenever we jam. I think it is a matter of having the same interests in life that bonds friends together, not the gender.

Well opinions changes from people to people. Friendship has no bars of any age, gender, caste and creed. I too had may friends but most of them are boys but my best friend is a girl only so it really

I think it is easier for a girl and boy to be friends and it helps too. It provides an opposite POV. But most such friendships get ruined with one of them developing feelings for the other.
