  I think I relate to both sexes equally well. . .my only requirement is that the person, whichever sex they may be, is able to have discourse on an intellectual level and does not see themselves as an expert in all fields of life.  I am also not drawn to overly oppinionated/critical people, but get on well with genuine down to earth types :-)

  I am like Polar, it relate  to both sexes. It has all to do with the person's personality's.

  i relate to guys better.....most of my close friends are guys. girls and i just don't seem to see the world the same way.

  polar,  I couldn't have worded it any better. Thanks.

  skald,  looks like you, polar, and myself have a lot in common.  Thanks.

  fallyn,  I have heard that some people do relate to the opposite sex better, and that is what you have just attested to.  Thank you for commenting.

  Rusty..... I am no Cassanova and this answer really has nothing to do with sex but I have always got on much better with the opposite sex, even from an early age. Today I have many more female friends than male.

• Fallyn said on Apr 12, 2008....

  rusty....it's odd though....i have made friends here, and most of them are women.
  i think it's a body language thing or something.
  on soulcast it's not a factor.

  Rusty,  I relate with both in a certain times.  For example if I'm feeling down and need a pick me up.  I talk with my girl friends and they normally have been in the situation or tell me why i'm feeling the way I am about things.  However, if i'm just wanting to hang out and am in a good mood I hang out with my guy friends.  It just matters on how i'm feeling that day.  I pretty much get along with both sexes and I don't really choose one or the other.  Just have differant friends i go to differant things for to help me through my path of life.

  BTW, Thank you very much for coming to my blog and commenting and giving me some information on what to do.  Very much appreciated.

  Men, definitely men.  Men are calmer and more rational than many women of today.  They are either radical feminists or girlie girls, the majority, under twenty-five.  I ignore them.  Older women are different.  I don't remember in my generation them ever being that way.  They are not elitists.  Too busy working, cleaning their houses, dealing with kids, boyfriends, husbands, getting on with it, etc.
  
  Men do not want to compete against one another.  They do not evaluate each other or women on the basis of how they look.  People will contest.  Most of the fashion magazines are run by women, no? They push forward the perfectionist and unrealistic images that encourages excessive plastic surgery, jealousy, low self-esteem, drug use and anorexia.
  
  Women evaluate very quickly and then reward or punish on the basis of a first impression.   They then go behind the backs of their 'friends' and punish them with nasty rumours and harassment, even at work, to ruin them.  I find this claim of sexual harassment by men rather dated.  It happens occasionally.  Feminism has been very successful at combating sexual harassment and promoting equality in the workplace.  Now it is women who don't fit into the social circle, governed by the rules of the clique, who pay a price.  For what?  Being a 'man's woman', being independent, being loners, being different.  Women should not have to conform to other women's expectations.  They should be accepted for themselves. People have choices: they can accept someone, they can let it go and just be casually nice to the person, they can leave their job or transfer or work different shifts, they can talk privately with the person, they can leave a note or deal with it through a supervisor, etc. 
  
  They choose to cause trouble in the workplace.  Women are the ones overwhelmingly doing this.  It is a relief to work on a nearly all-male crew, not because women can't do the job, but this generation seems less interested in getting ahead in the workplace and more interested in causing problems at work and forwarding their lovelife and social lives at work.  Sad.  I thought feminism was about women having the right to work and make the same money as men, which I support.  Young women do not act this way, period.

  Women. But I relate to men also. Maybe I would just rather interact with 
  women.

  rupert, I am finding that most people seem to get along with the opposite sex better, thank you for commenting.

  Fallyn, I think in all relationships, it is important to be a good listener, and maybe it is sometimes easier to understand your own sex better than the opposite sex.  thanks for commenting.

  Olisellans, I tend to agree with you. It does seem to depend some on how one's feeling on that particular day.  I really enjoy your blog. You write in a manner that one doesn't have to guess how you feel and what you think. I guess it is your cander I most enjoy.  Thank you for commenting.

  cotterall, welcome to my blog, and for giving a detailed response. I know personally that men can be competitive with each other at times, but maybe it is in different areas than female compete with each other.

  Alienated, thank you for commenting. I see on your blog, you get interaction from both sexes.

  Hi rusty - that's a good question and I've enjoyed reading the comments too.
   
  cotterall&elaineadams makes some strong but very valid points.  I appear to get on along with almost any male I meet, not in any sexual way, just as friends.  I seem to immediately feel at ease.  I think it's due to being raised from 12 by my dad and then mixing with his friends too.  I do get along extremely well with certain types of women I meet though.  It does depend on personality with women whereas with men, that doesn't seem to play a part.  I do find men less judgemental of me than women though I don't think men aren any less competitive.
   
  I was raised as a non-judgemental sort who works hard for a living and really does give and take.  I don't really have time for shallow people no matter what their gender.
   
  It will be interesting to see all hte different replies here rusty.

• rustydiamond said on Apr 15, 2008....

  pusscat,  I wonder if it isn't easier a lot of times to relate to the opposite sex. Maybe someone should then ask which sex they understand better. That might make an interesting read. Thanks for commenting.

• pusscat said on Apr 15, 2008....

  Good point rusty. 

  I think if someone asked me which gender I understand the most I'd have to definitely say. . .  without a shadow of doubt.. . . . .

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

  NEITHER!  *smile*

  Now, I would never have dreamed that would be your answer, pusscat...
