Like Dennis, I have more female than male friends. The ones I have chosen are more interesting to talk to than many men. I have little interest in sports (other than diving!), business or big hooters (well, I'm actually "softening" on that as well as blondes). For some men, that doesn't leave much to talk about. Of course I have plenty of male friends too... mostly divers.
Women in general provide a different perspective on life that I enjoy. Of course the ones that want to talk about shopping, how much money I make, what car I drive, etc. are of little interest (and this IS southern California, LALA Land). But there are plenty of intelligent (and therefore attractive) women I can talk with about our different perceptions. Sigh, and more than a few that I'd love to have as "more" than friends... but I'd rather keep them that way than lose them by trying to push a romantic relationship they aren't interested in.
