I find talking to other guys difficult at times cos they see everything as a competition and have to go one better than anything you say, especially if you're in a group - it can get quite annoying!!!

I find that guys are more prone to this than gals but I'm not saying all blokes are like this - I do have a fair few decent male friends I can talk to fine. Females are just a lot easier to talk to cos they listen and, as was said before, offer a different perspective about stuff.
