It had seemed like the journals of gay men seemed to have f-lists that were largely composed of other gay men. No idea if that reflects their real life circle of friends too or if it's just a byproduct of relatively small internet circles of acquaintances.
In my LJ life, I like reading a wide variety of perspectives and thought I had amassed a nice cross-section of people. I didn't ask for gender though that would've been nice to see too since there are a few people that I'm still not sure I know if they're male or female. From this poll I was surprised to see that so many of my f-list were first-borns.
In the real world, I tended to form my closest friendships with men. Wasn't until my mid-to-late 20s that I started being closer friends with women. I think that's due to having been a tomboy and working in tech (which still had more men but now seems to have plenty of women in the field too). Plus for several years, my main hobby had been swing dancing so I spent the bulk of my time dancing and socializing with guys.
