Thanks for your answer :D

people that tend to question the world and are curious

it’s important for them to have depth of thought, at least

This is also very important to me, personally, especially the depth of thought lmao. I like to analyse and reflect on everything 😅

In terms of light friendships I relate to men more because they don’t demand as much emoting, on average, and tend to make a lot of jokes. My friendships with women are different, they can be much more heavy and require a lot of energy.

You sound like the opposite of me. I totally understand where you're coming from, the only thing is that I feel the exact opposite. For me, that constant everything-is-a-joke mood that often I see more in men than women is just... I don't get what's so funny about it 🤣🤣🤣 On the other hand, maybe because I am a very emotional person, I don't feel like friendships with women are heaaaaavy and require a looooot of energy, but I do understand why for some people it would lmao.

I am also very emotional and that is exactly why they are more heavy and require energy. I get invested in relationships with women in a different way than I do with men. I feel a lot of things about them, and for them, so it can be draining sometimes. When a woman is upset or sad I am more likely to feel it with her, or want to help, or really try to empathize . That’s why the emotionally light connections with male buddies are less demanding.

Awww, yes it does makes sense and that's sweet! I can't even make light connections with men 😆 but I can make light, medium or deep connections with women 😂 One curious thing is that I rarely make guy friends, but when I finally do, I usually am reaaaaally close to them and I'll love them do death. But I can only remember of 3 guy friends that I had in total in comparison to uncountable female friends 😂

Wow, great diversity! I loved how you said the religion from the straight women involved 🤣

Just to differentiate the straights by religion, because I am an atheist and I really disagree with a lot of religious bs. But I love my friend. My other friends are not religious but not atheists either, apart from a straight woman.

I'm also an atheist. To be very specific, I'm an agnostic atheist. I personally don't get what's the point of religion. (But I'll obviously respect someone who's religious as long as it doesn't harm anyone)
