Why am i bonding with women more than men as I’m getting older?

I’m 20 and all throughout my life I’ve been in groups of boys and was typically always kind of like the leader of my friend groups. I absolutely loved my male friends like brothers. I’ve played sports my whole life and watch sports on a regular. I workout and go to the gym with my guy friends too. But as I’m getting older, I’m disbanding from men a lot more and bonding with women a lot easier. I prefer to be around the women man. I’m straight, just got out of relationship, but for the past 2 years I’ve began to notice I prefer womens qualities a lot more.

When I’m around women there’s no competition for being above the next man, I tend to find that women have an easier time being themselves and being more non-conformist than the men around me as I am growing older do, they have loyal personalities and won’t hold envy towards you just because you’re with a pretty girl or something petty, they aren’t trying to compete with you, they aren’t gossipy etc etc etc.

Did I mention they aren’t trying to compete with you?

I really enjoy my time around women more. A lot of men feel so catty and needlessly competitive nowadays like your entire relationship with them is a shitty dick measuring contest, it’s pathetic and draining. I don’t like having to constantly control and check my guy friends like they’re a wild animal trying to one up me all the damn time, it makes me become harsh. I hate it. You can’t be open nor be yourself in that environment, I feel that I really can be more myself around women.

I have some level of sexual attraction to the women I’m friends with as a I can’t deny that I am red blooded man, but I wouldn’t act on it unless mutual, also becoming more with a girl that’s just a friend has ruined friendships in the past.

But that’s my take on it. Wonder if any men around my age feel that same.
