I've always gotten along better with women. It may come from the fact that I spent the majority of my formative years with my mom after my dad divorced her. Being a middle school teacher, i work with basically all women.I usually relate better to women. I prefer the company of women over men, and it has nothing sexual to do with it....ok, perhaps a little.
I've spent much of my time craving the attention of girls, and then women. At times,it's been a curse, in all honesty. I used to be painfully shy, to the point where I couldn't even talk to a girl. Now, I'm just awkwardly shy until I get to know someone. I have major issues with other guys. I've been working out where this comes from. Bullying? My dad kind of taking off? My step-dad being a drunk for so long?

I think a general problem with intergender interaction is if one of the parties does not entirely live up to the other person's gender expectations. Personally, I find men who read a lot and are thoughtful very attractive. If you end up in a room with a guy who thinks the most relevant thing in life is football and fitness etc., chances are that he won't be too excited to hang out with you...
So while this may have something to do with "role models" or poor peer behavior, it may also have to do with gender stereotypes, people's individual expectations and situations you may find yourself in...
