    Was just looking through facebook there and noticed that I have mostly female friends. Last few times I've been out been in the company of mostly ladies. So as usual I wanna find out if I'm just odd or if it's normal enough by asking you good men of the forum.

    My three closest mates are all males, but it's about 70:30 females to males after that.

    In my first college course, it was 28 ladies, to two lads, my second course, the whole college was 70:30, and my last two full time jobs, I was the only man working there.

    I'm pretty sure my friends is even enough. Possibly slightly more females in fact. I don't really think any split is odd tbh. Well unless its like 90->100% of either sex. I think its based more on similar personalities so you can have better more ineresting conversations and ejoy their company more too.

    The friends I see most would be mostly male. They all live locally i'd see them a couple of times a week. But overall most of my really close friends are female but they don't live as close and are getting on woth their lives, living with partners etc... One's even married :eek: (we're only 24/25).

    But over all i'd say it's 50/50 give to take a vag or two.

    All my best mates are male. One is married, one is engaged (wife-to-be moving in shortly), and the other is single. All around the 26-28 age range.

    My life is a sausage factory. I work with nothing but dudes. The only sport I play is 5-a-side...with all dudes. My only major hobby is playing poker.....which always seems to be all dudes. My local is a man's pub and any time I go to town it's for a session with the lads.

    I forget what a wimmens looks like.....

    Probably pretty much 50/50.Socialise with mostly blokes but have proper conversations with mostly women.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,635 ✭✭✭tribulus


    All guys, not really friends with girls unless it happens to be a mates girlfriend that I get on well with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,639 ✭✭✭✭OldGoat


    Mostly wimminz. :cool:
    Well, 'mostly' is perhaps a bit strong but there are definatly more wimminz then men.

    I'd probably have equal friends, but I would talk to more of the guys regularly than the girls.

    Mostly male, I'm going to say.

    My two best friends are female, but other than that, I'd say most of my good friends are male.

    Honestly, I find men much more trustworthy than women. Women tend to be bitchier and more gossipy.
    Of course, that's not scientific research, that's just from my own experience.

    My best friend is a girl. I call her my best friend 'cause even if we drift apart a bit sometimes, when we hang out again, it's like we've never been away from each other. She's an amazing person, has always been there for me and I trust her with my life. :)

    Other than that, most of my good friends are male. Tbh, I find women are too "secretely competitive" amongst each other. Men are also a lot more easy going, in my experience anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,649 ✭✭✭✭CDfm


    Ya mostly women. :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,559 ✭✭✭LD 50


    Hmmm, I'd say about 60:40 to the guys. And I'm a guy. But I'm only counting my close friends. If I was to expand it a bit it probably would even out.

    My circle of friends is a bit like a Fianna Fail cumann meeting.

    An all male affair!

    My best friends in the sense of those who I have known since childhood are all male. Funnily enough though, all the good friends I've made over the past two years or so are basically all female. I'd still say it is 75% in favour of male though.

    My group of friends is a mix of men and women - but I'd say I get on better with guys than girls. I have more close male friends than female, and being totally honest, I prefer hanging out with men!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,493 ✭✭✭DazMarz


    mostly female (im male)
    I have a lot of mates, but it's all mostly blokes. Have one really close friend who's female (we're just mates, but everyone thinks we're going out cos we spend so much time together) but most of my mates that I'd hang out with, go to the pub with, talk to, play poker with etc. are all male.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,460 ✭✭✭✭The_Kew_Tour


    mostly female (im male)
    About 80/20 in favour of male for me.

    Although I do have three very close female friends and few others who I often have few things in common with and hang out together when can.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,693 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Mostly guys, but have a few female friends I would chat to regularly enough.

    I'd say its split down the middle. Dont really care...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 929 ✭✭✭TheCardHolder


    50/50 split (im male)
    I'm male, most of my mates are female but my closest few are male. I just find girls are generally kinder and make better friends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,770 ✭✭✭Bottle_of_Smoke


    mostly female (im male)
    When I was younger had mostly female friends but they make up a tiny percentage now. Close friends I would say I have 11 male . And 3 female, one of them's an ex-girlfriend too :(. Not so close friends probably male dominated too unfortunately. Need to stop being such a mysogynist!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,092 ✭✭✭Le King


    mostly male (im female)
    My 3 closest's m8's are males. Then after that 90% are female. I'm male btw.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    mostly female (im male)
    I'm male and any friends I've ever had were almost all male. There was the odd female but they were more like acquaintances more than anything.

    Of course I don't have many friends. I generally find I have very little to talk about with a lot of women I've spoken to which is more to do with my narrow range on interests and the fact that I don't speak to many people in a social context.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 337 ✭✭pearliefan


    50/50... I have a couple of close girl friends and a few close guy friends and then the rest are more guys.
    All girls all the time just causes hassle! plus the banter with a mixed group is the best!

    About a 50/50 split with my mates

    Only 3000 more posts to go and you'll move up the posting ladder ranking from 'Formidable' to 'Bloody Scary'. Get typing. :D

    In my most frequent group of friends they are mostly male. In other groups, females. I generally get on better with males, and females with the same warped sense of humour as me :pac:
    There are types of males and types of females I don't get on with well, genarally football and car variety males and females fixated on their and their friends male relationships. That is not to say my friends don't talk about either, but it doesn't consume everyday conversation.

    I tend to find what sort of music a person listens to determines whether I will get on well with them or not ;)
    But I try not to be narrow minded and fitting people around the stereotype I have of them. Sometimes I do though.

    I don't have any 'best friends' as such, just me fella.

    I seem to have a split of male and female friends, not able to put a figure on it but it seems around even.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭SLUSK


    I only hang out with guys, why should I hang out with females. They are not interesting to talk to and rarely have anything of value to say.

    When I voted something in me expected an analysis of my vote.

    I voted mostly female BTW ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,639 ✭✭✭✭OldGoat


    After a lengthy analysis of your vote I can catagorically say that statistacilly speaking most of your friends are infact Women.
    Does that help? :)

    Nearly all of my friends are male, the only females are a few of my friends' girlfriends, one of my housemates and a few girls in work. Since I started college, I have just found guys much easier to get along with and they are so much less uncomplicated. Girls can be so bitchy and competitive. Then again, I'm doing maths and I'm part of netsoc, I don't encounter many girls anyway

    You'll have to fight me for that name MM. I'm also not sure if I ever told Cows Go Mu in person but that name always makes me smile.

    Meanwhile, back on topic, I'm a letch like CDfm and have way more women friends then men. I think that might be down to the fact that Mrs Goat is a lot more gregarious then I and she makes friends much more quickly then I, hence every time we move she is the one to break into new social circles and I inevitably end up being surrounded by a lot more women before I slowly make new male friends. Yep, it's all her fault for being too friendly. :rolleyes:
