We’ve all got them surely, people you talk to more often than not by DM or offsite

But, are they mostly male or female?

I knew a girl who always said she got along better with guys.

*she was very pretty, I always thought ‘yeh sure, I guess they get along with your personality!’

I get on better with men, and have more male fab friends than female, platonic ones.

But I have made more female friends on fab than ever in my life.

Hey Woody, I’ve got a few. Some women, some couples, some guys and a lovely trans.

I like the fact we can have a bit of personal chat away from the forums, just for a giggle or to catch up.

How about you?

On fab I definitely talk to men rather than women or couples. The person I speak to most, and would describe as a friend, is a man. I'd probably find it harder to flirt with women

Not because any eyeroll inducing reasons like 'oh I'm not like other women tehehehe', it's just how it's happened.

I do get on very well with some women and non-binary people from here but yes, I definitely talk to more men from here than women (as friends!).

I've always got on better with women than men, at least as an adult. On here, though there are loads of amazing men, male friendship isn't what I'm looking for. All my Fab friends, and most - definitely not all - of my offline friends are women.

More personal chats are mostly with women, and a couple would be classed as a friend , and I talk to a male or 2.

I seemed to have befriended mostly women. They are instinctively tuned into my metrosexual and stylistic traits. The 'befriendship' isn't exclusively sexual but mostly platonic.

With that said, I do have a few male friends on here whose harmonic friendship I treasure dearly.

If we start a group chat it usually means we’re happy to know them much better.

I don't really have many friends on here. I don't tend to chat much on here for a few reasons.There are two people I chat to daily and a few people I chat to occasionally but that's it's.Unfortuntely I found most guys who chatted expected more and got annoyed when they didn't get meets even when I made it clear from the start that I wasn't interested in them sexually.

I was also backstabbed by a woman who I thought was a good friend before on here who has shared my pics and private info with others so that made me a lot more wary on here.

I'm also quite introverted anyhow and I have never needed a load of people to chat to or be one of the popular people. I'm quite happy having a small amount of true friends rather than a lot of people who actually don't care.

Had a female friend on here who I knew offsite before I found she was here. We chatted offsite, we went walking together, got on real well without there being anything sexual in the relationship (though I sure as hell fancied her and still do).

Sadly the relationship broke down (My fault) and we don't really speak now except I sent her a birthday and Xmas message.

She's not blocked me on here or privately, so I hold out hope things can be repaired one day.

Literally all my friends are women and I don’t talk about sex at all with the vast majority of them. I don’t like the viewpoint (same with the idea of friendzoning) because it implies that there’s no value in being nonsexual friends with someone.

Until about 4 or 5 years ago I could genuinely claim to have no male friends at all.

Plenty of work colleagues but I didn't spend any time with them outside of work.

Claiming that men and women can't be friends without the sex getting in the way is a load of bull in my opinion.

I'm definitely not the exception to the rule.
