Do you feel more comfortable around a specific gender?

Im a male and I prefer the company of women. Women are beautiful inside and out and its something im more comfortable with.
Other males i can be ok around till they start their ego b.s, then im gone

I feel more comfortable around women than men, because at least if they don't like me women will still pretend to be nice because they have to. And they are less likely to be judging me anyway. Men always show it if they have a problem, and that starts my inner negativity running.

Prefer women. More sensible. Hell I'm a lesbian in a guy's body

I'm a female and most of my friends are males. I think, since I'm shy, girls just think I'm too quit and leave, but guys, they'll think I'm cute or whatever (not to sound conceited =/) so they'll stick around long enough for me to open up. By then though, they know me better, and realize how fukcing weird I am, at which point they usually want to be friends instead of trying to date me or whatever. A bit of a depressing-sounding cycle, but, oh well..

I don't really think of people in terms of gender, but if forced I would definitely say women around my age and teenagers in general. Especially if I feel that they're more attractive than me, not because I feel that I need to compete with them since I'm not an appearance-focused person, but because I'm terrified they will reject me/feel sorry for me based on how I look. I try my hardest to be an accepting person and that makes me absolutely terrified of people who aren't.

I don't feel my sexuality plays any part in who I'm comfortable and uncomfortable with, honestly. I'm attracted to lots of different kinds of people for lots of reasons, so whether I feel nervous around someone has mostly to do with personality. I pay far too much (completely irrational) attention to how people act and if I get ANY sense that someone is dismissive or patronizing or that they have their heads lodged firmly in their respective sphincters then I will want absolutely nothing to do with them.

Children are terrifying too but that goes without saying.

This right here. Couldn't agree more. I'm scared senseless of people who aren't equally as accepting. I was on the train yesterday and there were two girls sitting in front of me who just kept staring at me. Pretty sure they were talking about me. Freaked me out. lol anyway!

I prefer being around males. My experience of bullying by females growing up plays a huge role in this sense of reasoning. They were also the cause of gender issues for me, so I believe the majority of them try to sum me up in a nutshell and judge me on physical appearance. Guys (imo) are much more relaxed and blunt. I feel they accept me for me.

I'm a nut around men. (I'm female.) I get really STRONG INTENSE crushes and am afraid it will happen and avoid men more than I avoid women. This is about my dad leaving (I think). So I avoid them more than women (but I avoid them too.)

Ha! I've used this line to describe myself several times.

I think the older I get, the more I prefer the company of females. I often feel like they're the only ones who won't stigmatize my sensitivity. I'm very much afraid of rejection by females I'm attracted to, so my ideal friend is a female I'm not attracted to.

I tend to get along with effeminate males sometimes, though.

I used to feel more comfortable around guys. Now I don't really feel comfortable around anybody. Having a female psychologist for a few months helped a little with women. But not much. I think my Mum was constantly judging and analysing my behaviour as a kid. Like she says stuff like, I don't understand why you are behaving this way.

You have to practice heaps talking to the opposite sex if it makes you uncomfortable. I don't talk to really pretty girls, they make me dizzy. I don't ask girls out either. I am not sure I have the courage to practice talking to 20 different girls per day, but that is probably the solution. Some girls are easier to talk to than others. I prefer talking to girls under the age of 21. Maybe coz I am not that intelligent. And I have an immature personality.

I am male

When I was ages 12-16 I got bullied in school all the time by a certain group of guys. 2 or more would often gang up on me and tell me how disgusting I was to them. They would threaten to beat me up in the hallway. So yeah. Men are much harder for me to deal with. When I play video games that let you pick a gender, I tend to go with female. I feel like my sensitivity, empathy, compassion, and tenderness would be qualities more accepted in a woman.

I always have gotten along pretty well the mothers of my friends. I don't entirely know why that is.

I have gotten much more comfortable with being around guys in one on one settings, but if they start acting aggressive, or another guy shows up and I sense a pack mentality forming, I still get freaked out.
