I've had female friends and I've had male friends but for some reason I've noticed that females are more intimate and close to there friends then males are. Is this true for all male friends?

IDK if it's an easy way to remember or not, but the way I think about it is then relates to time, than relates to a comparison.

Their relates to ownership. There relates to direction. They*'re* relates to describing (that's probably the easiest as the apostrophe tells you it is a shortened version of two words, "they are")

To actually answer your question though I can only relate to my personal experience and say no, as a man the men I know don't express emotion that well and we aren't that "close." The women I've known tend to be much closer to their friends, but my experience is limited there.
