My best friends (2) are male and I wouldn't trade them for the world. Actaully, I would trade one of them for the world as he was killed in a medivac helicopter crash 2 years ago. But I have always gotten along better with men. Maybe because I grew up in a military family, not to mention that my main career was male oriented (state Police). But I do have one good female friend who now lives a little over an hour from me. We may not see a lot of each other but when we do, we make the most of it. She is always there for me. And my husband knows when she calls me, he won't get the phone for at least two hours. LOL
