I've had female friends and I've had male friends but for some reason I've noticed that females are more intimate and close to there friends then males are. Is this true for all male friends?

I think your experience is extremely typical.

Not really. It's been 70/30. I have some male friends and there pretty intimate. Always doing things like slapping my butt and giving me sexual compliments/wolf whistling at me. At first it was pretty awkward then I thought to myself "what's the problem?" There only complimenting you and there not exactly wrong😏.

But now I don't know if there just being friendly or if there flirting with me. I've had women say similar things to me before.

I say this in the gentlest way possible: you keep writing "there" when you mean "they're" or "their" and it's making it hard to read your posts.

So do you think my friends are flirting or just being friendly?

Me either. Is this a normal thing among friends? Is it even normal for couples to do? I don't know if my friends are interested in me or are just being nice.
