Good question. I'm the total opposite of you OP, I have mostly male friends. And I'm not one of those women who purposely avoids being friends with other women either; I just have very few female friends and I don't know why really.  |

Mostly male friends are different. I wouldnt ring one up and organize a proper night out then discuss what we will be wearing.
You know where they will be so just turn up.
So i guess i do treat male friends somewhat different to female friends |

"It occurred to me that I don't actually have any. What do you look for in a man as a friend? "
Same here - get on better with women really and I've never been fussed with the whole going out getting shitfaced thing so guess I'm seen as boring |

I only have two (and one of them might be a bit of a stretch describing him as a friend) and they're totally different to each other. So I have no idea. Men don't really like me. |

Can they cut the mustard? I don't hang out with people who can't handle their beer.  |

Men are often intimidated by strong, confident women. |

"How do you actually look for friends?
Those people who are my friends are those who can put up with my general being an arse. "
I don't look for friends so I don't know.
I'm starting to think I don't know a lot  |

My best mate is a great listener , and the opposite to me in every way . Politically etc ...
He makes me think with his observations , never gets angry , never takes the piss .
Always there if I need him , as I am for him .
Asks for nothing , just a wonderful fella . |

They have to be equally as big of a cunt as me.
Seriously though most my close mates have been the same ones for 15 years or so with a few extras added along the way, we are all fairly similar in our likes and dislikes so I guess that's the answer |

Ah. That'll explain why I have mostly male friends then.  |

My best mate is currently halfway through four years in New Zealand, last time he travelled we didn't talk, correspond, nothing for two years on his return went round his house & he opened the door with a can out the fridge & a hug..It was like he'd never been gone

I have guys that I have worked with who stay in touch; but I am pants at staying in touch...My best friend is a woman... but I don't have lots of "go down the pub" type friends.... I am a bit of a loner (put the  away) I like it that way.
Most of the people I know are married or in long-term relationships and I don't like to intrude on peoples lives so keep myself to myself....
So OP you are not alone, being alone (well you might be alone but without male friendship as such, oh bollocks you know what I mean) |

Yes, but there are exceptions to that. |

I don't know about you Mr Steve, but I have moved around a fair bit and well, I guess I am very selfish with my time... not really into "laddish" behaviour since I broke the big 4 0; I have become..... well strangely content; I adore the company of women, but mostly because well a) I probably want to sleep with them but b) you can say anything to a woman, you know.... deepest thoughts etc. and although they still take the piss as bad as blokes, there is a.... oh I don't really know what I am talking about.....
...look big groups of blokes do my noggin in; I don't know why; maybe its the misogyny; maybe its the alpha thing; maybe its the pack mentality.... and then if you get single guy friend on his own; its all look at what I have/don't have.... roaring lion shite or kicked donkey shite....
There are blokes at work; I talk to them... thats enough |

Preach brother. I went off to uni and never went back so everyone I was friendly with just dwindled away.
I'm not a fan of huge groups unless they are big enough to lose myself in |

There you go Mr Steve; you are not alone in being alone (insofar as male friends go); maybe its an age thing; maybe we are all arseholes; I have a sneaky suspicion that any men I get to know see me as dangerous as I am a terrible flirt with their wives (yeah I know; zero respect; terrible human being... what can you do?); maybe its because we can stand alone and be happy with that; maybe it's because we aren't alphas or maybe we are alphas? I don't know... genuinely; just well, I'm alright about it, so meh.. |

I've got no male friends, and no wish to acquire any.Just don't enjoy male company and not into blokey things...such as beer,football, fighting lol.
All my friends are women, mostly in their 20s ( doesn't impress the wife  ) |

I'm not fussed between male or female friends and the numbers of each have changed - sometimes more guys, otherwise more women.
Like others, I can be demanding - but I give as good as I get. I respect and like honesty and someone who's loving.
A strong bloke as a friend, who likes practical jobs would be great but it's an empty slot atm. |

In male friends I generally gravitate to funny people who don't take anything seriously.
I prefer women though - its less weird just hanging out in PJs with them. |
