A man's attitude towards other men vs. women differs from a woman's attitude towards other women vs. men. Among men and women, the way they relate to the opposite sex and each other has to do with their cultural background. I've met men who I can relate to very well, and who can relate to me easily. I've also met men who I have a very hard time understanding, and who seem to have a very hard time understanding me. In addition I've met women who I can relate to easily, and others who I cannot relate to at all.
I will say that the number of men I can relate to well is much smaller than the men I cannot relate to at all, though the same goes for women.
