I have said before that I prefere women friends over men friends, and I think there are several reasons for that. For one thing I think it is the way God made me to have those preferences. I feel less intimidated by women than I do men. Have you ever watched bulls of the cow variety out in the fields where there are many cows they are servicing. They paw the ground, throw dirt in the air, they beller, and they bawl, they charge, I mean they make a run for another cow or even a horse to assert their male superiority. That factor is not as pronounced in humans as in cows and bulls, but it is still there, and I feel safer with the women who are less apt to beller and bawl, throw dust in the air, also get into fist fights which is the equivalent of a bull making a run at another bull or horse. I feel safer with women because they are less apt to behave that way! My parents before I was born wanted me to be a girl, and I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. My parents also put dresses on me when I was a little boy, and I had long blond ringlets/curls, and I still have a clip of my hair from that time, which is unbelievable for me, because all of my adult life I had such dark hair that it appeared to be black! I do respect the men, but I stay out of their way, and I feel more comfortable having women for my friends!
