Women who prefer male friends are generally perceived by other women as less trustworthy, more sexually promiscuous, and greater threats to romantic relationships.
Oklahoma State University study examined how gender expression impacts perception of women who prefer cross-sex versus same-sex friendships.
The researchers conducted three separate experiments, each focusing on different aspects of gender expression.
Findings suggest that women tend to dislike other women who prefer male friends regardless of gender expression.
Sometimes, when women present themselves masculinely (i.e., through clothing like in Study 2 ), same-sex attraction is inferred.
Study has its limitations, which open the door for further exploration.
