Well heres a new question I want to ask everyone, how many male friends do you have and how many female friends do you have? And how would you describe your relationships with them depending on how masculine/feminine they act or whatever. And what would you say are the pros and cons of dealing with each of the genders?
Even the girls who say they prefer the company of men still seem to have a lot of lady friends, and the girls here tend to be more tightly social with each other than anyone else.
Of course I can get along with some dudes, on this forum and irl but overall I find it rarer and more difficult and tend to be more easily put off by the behavior of males.
I think one thing we all (myself included) need to realise though is that personality types aren't gender exclusive and our opinions are almost always based on perceptions and our own experiences rather than any kind of fact. I know women who are relaxed and carefree because that's a personality type any person can have no matter what their genitalia is, any personality type from the myers briggs typology or whichever typology you prefer, it's not gender exclusive.
The problem is that it can be harder to find the individual behind the public persona and women do have a lot of pressure to act a certain way. Men do too though and overall any kind of social stigma makes it difficult for people who don't quite fit in with whatever their "gender role" is. Overall it's really all about finding friends with a compitable personality type, no matter what their gender is.
