Who do you relate to more women or men?

[Joanne08]

Who do you relate to more, women or men? Do you have more friends that are women or men? I believe I relate more to women than men. I appear male most of the time and certainly at work. I seem to be able to make friends with women easier than with guys. I have more women friends as a male than I do male friends. I am completely hertosexual and have no trouble being a "guy" and doing "guy" things with guy's but I just don't have many male friends. It's more than talking as girls in the cd sense about relating to women and its not of being afraid to relate to men because of cd'ing. I'm talking about the whole picture of your life in relationships with other people. No matter the length of time of a relationship. At stores I gravitate toward female employees for help or checking out. I have never developed a long term relationship with a male co-worker, although, I have several female friends of many years that I met at work and still see and talk with on a regular basis. I get along fine with men and am respected as a man but I just find it easier to relate to women than to men.

How about all of you, who do you relate better men or women?[/FONT]

[Tristen Cox]

No friends:( Always had more in common with women anyhow. Most men are just pigs and turn me off to conversation.

[Sharon]

I definitely have more female friends, as well as some wanna-be females. :)

[Tristen Cox]

Hey I resemble that remark :p

[Sharon]

Hey I resemble that remark :p

You should! :rolleyes:

[ChristineRenee]

I feel that I can relate to most anyone, though I do seem to actually find it easier relating to women and pretty much have my whole life thus far.

[heatherCD8772]

I most definatly relate more to Females. Dont get me wrong I have male friends that I talk to and hang out with but I can talk easier to females than I can males and really I would prefere to talk to a female than a male.

[DragonLotus]

Romantically speaking, males frustrate the hell out of me because I don't run into many that have the same set of values I do. Most guys tend to give off a subtle vibe that says they're with me because they haven't found "something better" yet. Like a woman of my calibur still wouldn't be enough to satisfy their need for the best (or the most) toys.


But friendship-wise, I get along with males MUCH better than I do females. I can take them at face value without having to play a constant guessing game. Most genetic females I know have interests I don't share and seem way too invested in personal drama, gossip and competition-masked-as-friendship for my taste. I feel I have nothing in common with them (except for a few). But I find them more visually appealing than men for the most part.


And I think it's true that guys like hanging out with tomboys, but they don't cherish them the way they do girly-girls. I think I'd like to be cherished for my unconventional qualities but that's not realistic.

Gah. With an opinion like that, it's really no wonder I'm single! lol :D

[Khriss]

I think I can relate well,gender reguardless, in my "male" life. I respect women and believe that's obvious (and appreciated)- though with guy friends ,I can relate in nearly ,any way required, ( yes Tristen -guys are often "pigs"). but I won't join in, with all the ? "macho" crappola!
as Khriss ,,,, I feel very much alone, ( cept' 4 time here-and -?) , as women or male freinds I have,(I think) could not ,or would not understand-
I tend to isolate myself,in these feelings ,, too often in my everyday life as well, - - though here, I let my feelings loose sometimes. While I find comfort and kinship here, there's often a vague feeling of un-reality to "it" , angst or unrequitted dreams, eazy to omitt, with a "delete" button-
the person I am inside, has been closer to animals, in my life, than most people, My buisness revolves around Dogs and I gotta say ,I relate more and always have,to them',than most people,, a less conditional love perhaps- I have a freind with a female wolf ,15/16 th, that he is sometimes afraid of, and she will only play with me,,, Makes Me the -"dominant Bitch" eh ?,,,hehe-er- woof! "K"

I'd like to be friends more with women because they have better dialogue skills and don't talk about sports, but unfortunately most women aren't geeky enough for my tastes.. Like a week ago I was starting to talk to this one woman at a party because she said she was an IT manager, so I'm like "Cool, someone I can relate to".. She didn't know 90% of what I was talking about with computers, so I sorta trailed off the conversation.

[Melissa A.]

This is one of the reasons I feel so lucky (took a long time to get there) to be a crossdresser! In many ways, I'm just a regular guy and have always been able to fit in and be one of the guys. But I have always been able to empathize with women and relate to them on a level that most guys can't get to. I know that's not incredibley special-there are guys who are not crossdressers who are sensitive and empathetic. But I have always felt that the part of me that is female helps me relate well with gals.

When my first wife and I were dating, before she knew anything about my crossdressing, we were laughing and just fooling around,(not THAT kind of foolin' around!) and she blurted out, "Being with you is like having a boyfriend and a best girlfriend all in one!" I have always though that was pretty cool.

Hugs,

Melissa :)

[racquel]

Far and away I relate much better with women vs men.I find most men to be arrogant a**hole*.
Some women strive to be like men but I find they are few and far between. :D

[Julie]

It depends. At work, with things mechanical, with sports (tho not much of a sport nut) I relate better with guys. With people related things (relationships, feelings, etc.), and of course clothing, hair and makeup related subjects, I'm more comfortable with women.

Maybe the Native Indians (American and European both) had it right when they saw the transgendered as 'Two Spirit', one male and one female, able to relate to both genders.

Your post aptly described my relations with men and women. I couldn't have stated it more appropriately. Do you like wine? Sally2

[Amelie]

I would lean towards men. The men that I have met in my life seem to have a laid back approach to life, there is no rushing about in their lives. Yet the women that I have met seem to always have a plan in life, they seem to have things that need to be done, it's sort of like they have a rule book to life.
So, I find the laid back approach better,, this is only from the people I have met.

[FionaAlexis]

I don't relate well to men socially or in informal situations and I am very ill at ease in male partying and bonding situations. I get on pretty well in a work situation as colleagues and clients, and I have managed some men in the past though my division was mainly female. I suppose I'd regard a few of those guys as friends but not close friends that I would disclose my innermost thoughts.

I do relate well to women at all levels - and have been very close to some women who knew I was a tranny. However, these friendships became difficult to maintain once I married. Now my female friends tend to be mutual friends with my partner - one of whom is aware that I'm TG.

[jessbcuzz]

I have more female friends than males. 95% of the people I work with are female. I fit into thier clicks more than male counterparts. However, sitting here thinking about it, all through life I've had more female friends than male.

[Clare]

Genuine girls by a ratio of 5:1 I reckon.

Hit it off with women in a platonic way far more easily and regulary than men.

Way more at ease with GG's since i seem to understand where there're coming from as opposed to the macho crap that guys carry on with.

[Katie Ashe]

I have no friends, Always have been a loner. I do keep contact with one guy from High School, mostly holidays. I have always fit in with the female crowd. As the male crowd goes, rather be dead than in the crowd, I don't belong and know it, hench : Me loner :o . I can a make friend with girls easily simply cause I don't want to sleep with them. I just want there looks and clothes :D .

ANyways: Girly for me.

[Rainbow6562005]

I've always found most women far more interesting than men. Besides their sexual appeal, women generally seem to have less of an edge to them, are more in touch with their emotions, etc.

Being raised with a violent father (and incessantly told by my mother that men are all kinds of nasty things), in a neighborhood where softness=homosexuality=an attack, men looked pretty awful to me.

Today, after many years of therapy and doing Male Liberation work, I've begun separating the past from the present and actually can see that some men are loving and soft, and that I can have a human relationship with them.

So when I walk down my street, I no longer look upon some man coming toward me as a potential menace, but as just another person: some are nice guys; some aren't.

I'm similar to Melissa A in being able to click in a "buddy" sense with women, but usually only the ones who are sports and music minded like myself, and that common ground makes a strong connection possible in other areas, where we often will also have the same outlook..not necessarily including a romantic connection, though it can.(100%hetero). Some of the jock chicks I know who I do things like hiking, cycling, skiing, etc with, are still very feminine but cool.

Generally though, I am more comfortable with men, and I will admit to some good natured woman-bashing with the guys(we're talking jokes here), along the lines of the male-bashing that goes on in groups of women.

I'm with Dragon Lotus as far as the girly-girl bullshit which I have no patience for, the drama, whining, etc from that type of woman. No thanks, give me a mountain bike ride with my buddies anytime. And yet, the handful of times a year I have the urge to get in femme-mode, it's the girly-girls I imagine being like. Go figure!

[Tiffy]

Women for sure. Maybe not more female friends, but much deeper and better friendships with women than men. They are so freakin shallow.


Kisses, April

[Stormgirl]

relate to men and have more male friends,feel weird around females

There's nothing like a good old generalisation to get the juices stirring!

Hi Sally2,

Thanks for your reply. Yes I like wine. Red mainly.

I tend to have very good relationships with other females (wether genetic or not) I could only count on one hand the Men in my life that have been good friends or more. I don't know why I just prefer things this way .

[eileen1969]

I relate mostly to women! however I can relate to men too! it really shows on how that person carries themselves.... :love: :love: :love: :love:

I am 'bout 'th same as you joanne in this category over 'th years i had many male friends got along well with them through work and pleasure but nowadys don't seeem to have to many of them around anymore. some have move on in life like moving to a different city or gotton married and never kept in touch or just didn't want to keep in touch anymore. but yes i get along a lot better with females as well and always have for a strange reason so many people have said over 'th years. my cdering had a lot to do with it some knew about it and some didn't. 'th ones that did know understood why i got along with females then males and 'th ones that didn't would never would off understood so i never had plans of telling for certain reasons. 'th male friends that i do have today some know 'bout michelle and once again th' ones that would never understand would never know either, 'th same goes for females as well. I am happly married with a supporting wife but it took a long time for me to find her i was 38 when i did before then every realationship had ended 'coz of michelle they never said at first but eventually it came out later down th road that was 'th main reason for it and nothing else.

anyhow sorry Joanne don't mean to take over your thread lov, but that 's 'th experince that i have had in 'me lie.

[Crunchie]

i get on better with women there more intresting to talk to i have never been into the whole male bonding lets talk sports kind of thing

[emmicd]

I envy women and can see myself relating with them however I do relate well to my peers who are typically male. I am a good athlete and always maintain that competitive edge. I usually make friends with both guys and girls.

I am very shy but can hold my own when I have to.

And I think it's true that guys like hanging out with tomboys, but they don't cherish them the way they do girly-girls. I think I'd like to be cherished for my unconventional qualities but that's not realistic.

I just think you need to find the right guys. Personally, I've always been attracted to strong, tomboyish women, both as friends and girlfriends.

I generally relate better to women. I'm a bit androgynous as well as lacking in the sports gene. (Like to do them, but I've got better ways to spend a weekend than watching them.) But interestingly, it's usually more masculine women. One of my best friends was a GG who was a sports nut, computer geek, mostly dressed in jeans and t-shirts, and far preferred seeing "Kill Bill" over a chick-flick. We'd joke about how her love for small children and animals was good, since it reminded proved she did have some girl in her. OTOH, she was an ex-dancer and looked killer in a dress when she wanted to, and as a sales rep used her femininity to flirt shamelessly with her customers to her advantage.

i relate more with women than i do with males i've a hard time with males women are much more frindly to get along with me i don't knew why.

[Billie Jean]

I have to say that it would be women. I work as a nurse and they treat me as if I was one of the girls. They do ask me questions about men and how they would do something in certain situations. I have crossdressed at this job before for nursing home week with the maintaince man and the girls were not only very helpful dressing me, but they liked my choice of outfits. I had picked it out myself but I told them my teenage daughters helped me in matching everything
