    If you've got the moves, you can be our friend.

    He is male.

    I have two best friends, one male, one female :)

    I hang out almost exclusively with women since secondary school. But there are things some of them are into that I'm not; clothes, food, that kind of thing. My husband genuinely is my best friend. We get on great as buddies. I've only a couple of female friends that would overlap in interests to the same extent.
    I don't know why some people end up acting like gender-stereotypes. I think that's why women and men gravitate towards same-sex groups. Also why a lot of relationships go sour.

    Is it really cringe to say my husband is my best friend?! :o

    my closest friends are male, there is a few girls who hang out with us sometimes but generally i prefer to be in the company of males (no homo)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭holystungun9


    She is male.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 661 ✭✭✭Intensive Care Bear


    Not only is my best friend female she is my ex girlfriend


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Shryke


    I think this sums things up very well.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 130 ✭✭Fupping Grasshole


    Wimmenz can be hard to be friends with, I've one best female friend alright but she's quite the tomboy. The other ones won't let you wrestle them or even bodyslam them after a few jars...sure where's the fun in that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,418 ✭✭✭✭hondasam


    Best friend is male.

    Male, Canine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,573 ✭✭✭pragmatic1


    Best mate is male. I enjoy female company probably more and I've had close female friends in the past but when they get a boyfriend or I get a girlfriend thats pretty much the friendship over.

    Kinda, but in a good way. :)

    My very closest friends are two females and one (gay) male.

    I've good friends who are hetero guys though - it's totally possible once neither party is in love with the other.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Both.
    (Should be included on poll.)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 283 ✭✭validusername1


    A guy. Males and females can be friends without anything 'going on'. Guys are easier to trust than girls, I think. And generally, they're a lot more laid back than girls so I think they make better friends


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭LH Pathe


    Preferably a gender that has not been 'tweaked' by bender


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,037 ✭✭✭Nothingbetter2d


    my best friend is male but i have lots of very close friends that are female


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,515 ✭✭✭LH Pathe


    Neither, preferably. they're all the same.. Can tolerate, but I can't relate hey; man.. Hey wo-man. You know what you are now deal with it. merely cocksure entitties

    My SO is my best friend and is female (I'm male).

    I've had female best friends before who I wasn't in a relationship with though, wouldn't do it again though as it's just far, far too much hassle. Other lads are much easier to be around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,874 ✭✭✭EGAR


    Male. I am female.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,425 ✭✭✭guitarzero


    I've never had a female friend in my life, ha, the idea of having a hahaha woman as a HAHAHAHAHA best frie...HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I don't have a best friend. Maybe I should recruit one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,034 ✭✭✭Ficheall


    I don't have a best friend. Maybe I should recruit one.

    I'm a steal.

    My best friend is my wife - just in case it skews your figures (does that count?)

    The people I would consider my best friends are of both genders. I don't get why guys and girls can't be really good friends.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,671 ✭✭✭BraziliaNZ


    Closest friend now and for the last couple of years is a woman and I'm male. The gossip etc that goes on about us is ridiculous though, like in a pub we drink in people don't seem to be able to accept that we are not a couple. But I'm not interested in her that way and vice versa.
    Then again I hate the "best friend" tag, people are closer to you at certain times in your life but for me it's changeable between friends.

    Yea that's a good point. I have had some "best friends" that I don't speak to anymore. Wow, that's a kind of depressing sentence.
