Girl here. It's fluctuated through the years due to factors like moving and stuff, but my friend groups have either always been predominantly or entirely other girls; except for a period in high school / early college where I hung out with boys more. However, my best friend from the ages of about 9-18 was a boy. I can't lie and say things were entirely platonic (he was my first kiss), but in the end we settled into more of a brother / sister relationship.
These days I'm primarily friends with girls again. Mostly because the more adult life takes hold gender dynamics change. Can't be friends with single guys because most the time they eventually try flirting. Can't be friends with guys in a relationship because straight women are often very protective of their men. I'm really sad because my best guy friend I can't even hang out with anymore because his wife is so insecure and jealous :/
