Hey cocos, have you ever formed genuine friendships with the same gender on Reddit?

I've noticed that people, especially girls, often seem reluctant to chat with others of the same gender on Reddit. It feels like conversations tend to fade quickly or don't even start. I'm curious if anyone has successfully crossed this barrier and built a real connection with someone of the same gender here. What made it work for you? Was there a specific approach or shared interest that helped break the ice? Would love to hear your experiences and thoughts.
