I'm the mirror of this, I'm a man who really struggles to make male friends. I've found with men I need to be a certain kind of man that I'm just not to fit in. But women are happy to accept the kind of man I am as a friend and talking to them without having to put on a façade of bravado is much easier.

I find it easier to form initial friendships with men BUT like 70%+ with fall apart as soon as they realise I don’t want to sleep with them 🫠

Stop perceiving me :
In my experience men are easier to form initial connections with, until you realise they see it as more than a friendship and stop speaking to you if u get a partner / if they get a partner🫠

Well if you want a friend, I be your friend. I got Learning disability and autism. Sorry for being forward

I feel the same but in reverse. I just seem to find it easier to have friendships with women, but mainly autistic women. I do have some male friendships too, so it's not a strict rule.

I like being friends with men. However, in my experience they always want more than friendship. It's frustrating becuase I see them as friends only but for them they don't see me that way. Maybe I need to find a gay bestie 😆

Most of my friends are other neurodivergent women, our friendships are deep and meaningful but also low maintenance and understanding. Your meet up thing sounds like a great idea 🫶

Been there, done that. The friendships are easier while you are young and single - eventually, those men will leave you once they get tired of the friendzone or you get a long term partner. When you viscerally experience the misogyny of being a woman past 30, the only friends who will listen and relate to you will be women. Men won't give a F.

For me most of my female also have ADHD or autism or both so it’s easy for us to stay friends

Girls always seemed to dislike me, I never seemed to fit in or get them or the bitching that went on, and they absolutely hated me because I had a lot of male friends when I was younger.🤣🤦♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️

From my personal experience being in male and female friendships is that men are often far more tolerant of differences and mistakes. Though it vastly depends on what group your in

Because most men are straight forward.

I have zero female friends and only male friends because female friendships are too much and too difficult for my autistic brain. I find men are more direct and dont required constant attention. I stopped forcing myself years ago to have female friendships and its the best thing I ever did.

I tried being friends with men - they always struggled with that - so I’m mostly friends with other neurodivergent women

Used to be that for me until most of them at some point thought they were in love with me and wanted more than friendship - and me rejecting them hurt their ego so much that they most of them were extremely rude and mean after and didn't want to continue the friendship. I nomlonger want male 'friends' in my life.
