I was musing with a friend of mine after church one evening, and we came to a strange, but true conclusion..

The older we have got we have tended to be closer to people of the same gender.  Talking to some of our pals (male and female) we realised that this was certainly true about the vast majority. 

We tried to think of anyone who was opposite and I actually was able to come up with one person who definitely has more close female than male friends (a guy) , but struggled the other way around (unmarried friends that is..)

We have our reasons for why this may be so.  Thats not to say that we don't have male friends (oh - we do!!).  I was just wondering what everyone elses experience of this was. 
We sort of realised that this just happened (none of us planned it) and how it was often uncomfortable (in particular situations) the other way around.

Is this sort of true of anyone else who has realised that htey have craved more of the same gender (or just ended up with) more of the same gender friends the older they got?

Not in a being overly-girly way though.  Give me a nice beach (surfing), snowboard and mountains any day!!

I am just rambling now........   :-o
