This is odd, because making friendships of course includes hanging out with men and women. Whether your boss is a man or woman has little to do with hanging out with your peers during off time.
That being said, work is often not the best place to build enduring friendships. It really kinda depends. Sometimes the friends you make on a job will not really be friends with you once you leave.
It was for me. My best friends were ones made at my first job. Right time and people, I guess. Meanwhile, trying to make friends 4+ years post first job is a dumpster fire (tho tbf, at least 2/5 years were pandemic, if not more).
There aren't many places where people can't be flakey these days.
