Poll question: Do You Have Mostly Male or Female Friends?
I just noticed that 98% of my friends are female. Maybe it's because I'm bi/gay/whatever, but I don't think so. I guess I just get along with them better.

2. I am a bi/gay/whatever...
Although I don't really like to define my sexuality.

3. I am highly opposed to drama and hypersensitivity...
that means I get along with guys better, but I sure do love hot women!

BTW, that video of the clumsy 7-11 robber is hilarious! (your sig)

4. What friends?
I have one friend that I talk to on a regular basis and he's a guy. I used to have more friends and they are all guys, too. But I work so much nowadays that I've lost touch with them. Kinda sad, really.

6. Well I think all that is about to change
After the first of the year I'm going from a 6 day work week to a 5 day one. I will have my Saturdays free for social activity. I'll have to get in touch with my old buddies to see if we can hang out some time or maybe just make some new friends. I'm going to be becoming a member of a social organization, too, now that I will have more free time. So all is not lost for the ol' Droopster.

9. as a female bi/gay/whatever person, I get along better with guys
My group of friends is rather strange - all "the guys" (my friends from way back in high school), me, and my husband will be talking and laughing about one thing and on the other side of the room, all the guys' girlfriends will be talking and laughing about something totally different.

For the most part, I avoid gender definitions, but as far as that group is concerned, I have a rather male brain. The girls would rather talk shoes/engagement rings/who-knows-who (YAWN), and they think our sense of humor is totally warped. It IS totally warped, but that's beside the point.

My b/g/w husband is glad to have someone who'll play paintball with him but still watch Wizard of Oz with him...and who doesn't have 50 pairs of shoes. :)

10. It may be the way they are socialized
instead of male brain or female brain.

13. It's about evenly split here.
We socialize mostly with other couples, so it's about half men and half women. I have one or two good girlfriends also.
