<p>Are boys more exciting to talk to? They’re more willing to take risks, to explore, and to breach social norms, so that sometimes makes them more exciting to hang out with. </p>
<p>And are girls better at listening/more comforting to confide in? They laugh more than boys and they’re more willing to discuss emotions. Plus they’re more likely to care and to feel empathy. Whereas boys frequently don’t care about the emotions (they might suggest physical solutions, but sometimes you just want someone to listen to). Many boys are simply horrible listeners. Although they’re sometimes more receptive (and less offendable) when you do things for the “lulz”. (though girls can laugh even harder at your most lulzy moments - IF they’re not offended)</p>
<p>Yes, I <em>know</em> that there are <em>many</em> exceptions to the trend. But it definitely seems true in most of my interactions, for whatever reason, be it cultural or biological.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if I’d say that they are more exciting to converse with, but they do tend to be less inclined to gossip. I often seek out girls to converse with when I want to elaborate on my feelings (usually because they are more sympathetic/empathetic) though, so I’ve found the second portion to be true.</p>
<p>I am mostly friends with guys, but do have a few close girl friends. They are all EXTREMELY fun and compassionate…I do find that I can talk about more serious things with my friends that are girls though. My best friend is a girl and we are very similar so it’s nice.</p>
<p>I actually have an easier time confiding in guys. Well, when it’s the right guys. I don’t want people to really fuss over me the way girls do. Like when my boyfriend and I broke up, my closest girlfriends went more of the “OMG are you ok? do you need anything? I’m here for you I love you blah blah blah”. The guy friends I went to weren’t afraid to actually ask what happened and why, and they listened without being totally emotional. When people get too touchy feely with me I have a hard time keeping it together.</p>
<p>Some guys are just awkward though, so mostly it does just depend on the guy.</p>
<p>Boys are only more exciting if they’re hot though… because then ahaha, I get rather excited
My best friends are basically all girls, and it’s exciting to talk to them because we get each other’s craziness and we’re always releasing hyper vibes.
I don’t actually think that’s true, and I think a person can be exciting to talk to most the time, yet a good listener when you need them to be.</p>
