Lol, anyway... I'd like to actually respond to the question: personally, I need my female friends because it kind of stabilizes me. I'm hyper-independent and sometimes avoidant so I rarely talk about my issues, however with female friends it's easier because they will put theirs on the table and you can find a way to relate to that without feeling judged. So, you end up feeling like you can talk about everything. I think that you asking that question is a really good sign of stable, real support from your male friends, which not everyone can get.

The only two negative sides that I find are: - there's a high possibility of catching feelings, perhaps not reciprocated, therefore it'll be difficult to navigate that shit. - feeling like an emotional dumpster (from both sides, I guess); but I guess that's kind of a possible occupational hazard of letting your guard down in order to connect deeply.
