Well, that makes sense - we all know that women are better at multitasking and can easily juggle many tasks at once, including making and keeping friends!

I’m a man, and I don’t have many friends at all. The ones I do have are all women. I’ve found that women are generally easier to be social with; they tend to come across less judgmental and less competitive.
Obviously nowhere near guaranteed, but in my life that’s the trend I’ve noticed
Probably also because that’s what I’ve noticed in my family growing up, and in other people’s families >

Oh my god thank you I thought I was the only one. All of my friends are girls right now. It's easier to talk with girls and women in general for me - they typically display more of an interest to have a real conversation. >

Yes! That's a great way to describe it.
And of course, maybe men have just as much of an interest deep down, and would benefit from a real, genuine friendship. But it just feels different with women, and my interactions with them are much easier and more authentic. >

100%. Society would be a much better place if everybody has a homie they could talk to and trust. >

Lot’s of people here who have like 5 friends and are extrapolating it to the rest of the world.    Dumb thread. >

How is this a shower thought? It's just a fact, unless you were in the shower when you saw it on Google, shower fact I suppose? >

Women literally have brains that are wired to be more social on average which is thought to be a carry over from our hunter gatherer days when women had to gather and look after children and did so in groups betas men were hunters who had to be quiet and focused. I guess I have evolution to thank for my friends then. >

Source? >

You know you can use google right? Research has shown that men have larger brains on average but women have more connections between the two hemispheres or something? I’m sorry that I don’t remember the exact source from a textbook viewed 10 years ago to quote for you. 
If I could spare you the pain of typing some keywords into a search engine I’d be so willing to give up my time to go hunt it down for you but sadly you’ll have to go through that torment yourself and if you can’t be bothered to do that then perhaps don’t post absolute brain dead trash comments like “source?” in the future as it’s not my job to collate stuff I learned in University a decade ago just for you. 
I will say that these were on average and outliers do occur as well as exceptions that make the rule but in the whole this is what was found. If you want to learn more then I can’t recommend Google scholar highly enough and if any of the research is behind a paywall then email the scientist themselves and they’ll most likely be more than happy to email it to you. >

Saying nothing but “source” in reply to a reasonable, long, detailed argument does seem pretty obnoxious to me sometimes (like saying “k” after a big long message), especially when the argument is something I know someone can Google and immediately get the same answer as me for, but sadly the world has decided that whoever makes a claim must also be the one to provide the evidence for that claim, which sort of makes sense…
Why make thousands of people look it up when the one person writing can do it? But some people asking for a source are probably just doing it in bad faith or out of laziness—not wanting to form an argument themselves. And I’ve used sources that I can’t remember the links to or can’t even remember where I’ve heard it from sometimes, so in those cases when I can’t provide my specific source (or just don’t want to find it) I might just look up the closest thing I can find real quick (should be easy if I’m confident I’m right) or just try wording my argument less confidently from the get-go, so it’s more like a hypothesis than a factual statement.
Instead of “men and women ARE X”, I’d say “men seem to lean more towards X while women are sometimes more Y because of Z”, or “I think I read somewhere that men and women are X”. Something like that to at least make “source” comments sound kind of pointless since I’ve phrased my argument as uncertain, open discussion rather than a lesson. >

Source? >

I am haiku bot.
I have been hunting you down.
You cannot escape. >

It is you again!  Why must you follow me, dude? Just bugger off, plz. >

I've never thought this before, in fact I've always thought the opposite. That being said most women I know are toxic and have no friends other than men that are sexually interested... huh >

My friend group is pretty much half men half women, might be a couple more men though. >

Men and women have the same amount of friends, but women have more people hanging around acting friendly waiting to fuck them >

Well, men have more real friends tho, i'd argue. And by that we mean that we can call them proper SOB's and still love them, while women act all good and nice and just hate eachother (normally). >

Introduce a woman that one of them fancies that the other doesn't (or worse, that more than one of them fancies) and see how quickly those friendships fall apart. 
Source: former friends that decided to white knight for women or to impress them by cutting us off.  Best part is I wasn't even competing with them in any of these cases.  They either wanted to impress the women by defending them when the women decided to attack me (socially, not physically, though I wouldn't be surprised if they assisted her with hurting me), or they suddenly decided to insult me to make themselves look macho to the women. >

But I question the quality of the friendships. The people I call friends would help bury a body no questions asked, most of my wife's friends are not at that level of friendship.
