The friends I've had have mostly been men, but I still don't like the majority of them. All the posturing, constant competition and constantly looking for an excuse to fight, it's just exhausting. I'm not even opposed to "banter" but some men take it way too far (not to mention it's often just a way to be ambiguous about aggression) . I'm not saying women are necessarily much better but at least their gossip stays behind your back, though I acknowledge they can still be destructive in other ways.
