I think I have more male friends than female friends, but it's still a pretty close split. I'd say the relationship is about the same between all of them, we're all very open with each other, we all joke around a lot (often at each other's expense) and I'm comfortable haing serious conversations with both male and female friends. I'd say boo boo hit the nail on the head when he said that who you're drawn to as a friend has much less to do with gender than it does with personality types. I can't stand "bros" or "blokes" any more than you guys can. Only I'd call them "tools" or "douches".
Having said that, when I'm first introduced to a group of people that I don't know, I often feel more at ease walking into a group of guys rather than a group of girls. Could be what Savanah said about girls being more competitive and always sizing each other up.
