I've had female friends and I've had male friends but for some reason I've noticed that females are more intimate and close to there friends then males are. Is this true for all male friends?
I'm in my thirties and when I compare my friendships to my wife's, I must say that women are more intimate with each other. They hug and cuddle. My friends and I don't really do that. I only hug my friends when I feel they need it.
maybe 100+ years ago before gay panic really got going.
Not true for all but true for most.
However let's make a difference between being close and being intimate; females are usually more intimate than males or at least open up more quickly on personal topics. Gay/bi males are also like this.
As for closeness though, I don't think there is much of a difference between sex/gender/sexual orientation. I've found bros sticking together and backing up each other the same as girls do if not more.
No. I think men and women express intimacy to each other in different ways.
