Why Men Make Better Friends Than Women

[Whateverist]

Good joke, but it probably says more about what dogs we men are than it does our qualities as friends. Personally, I've nearly always gravitated toward having women for friends. I've just always found them easier to talk with than my own kind. They're generally better listeners and seem more often to bring up more closely related topics. There have been exceptions on both sides of course. The first and last date I ever went on after answering an ad was with a horrible, neurotic person. At one point I remember her stating as an invariable fact that women were more in touch with their feelings than men. An ironic statement considering the source.
