These stereotypes are not true in most cases. It is said that men are emotionally more stable than women because they don't cry. I completely disagree with this.

The Male Species What could be more confusing than the male speices? Absolutely nothing! Guys have no idea just how much they reflect on a young girl's or older woman's life. Guys make women think, not to mention try to figure out what exactly goes through their heads. Yet, they remain to have so much involvement in a female's life.

Male Cheerleading is a Sport! Against popular belief, females were not the founders behind the sport of cheerleading; instead males who were so eager to cheer while watching sporting events created this sport. In the 1890's the first pep club was organized at Princeton University, and it was there where the first organized yell was recorded.

Men and women also differ in the communication aspect. In both friendships, there is a certain level of competitiveness, and the friends obviously will have the same interest in common.
