I understand that guys tend to talk about baseball and sports, etc. :-)
and women about make-up, etc.. :-) (don't flame me, read on!)
BUT THE ORIGINAL question was did you feel comfortable talking
about things of a personal nature with friends of the opposite sex??
and did people on the net find they left personal topics to be
discussed with members of the same sex??
my answer was i felt i could talk to members of either sex about
things as long as i consider that person to be a friend!!
