While I agree that it depends on the person, I think there may be a little something to the generalization. From my experience, it would seem that there are more women on average that keep close groups of friends who spend time together regularly. As for sharing personal things, that has also been attributed to a difference between men and women (in some study I don't remember) - something about natural tendencies for men to have an I-it approach and for women to have an I-thou approach. The way we are socialized probably has an effect on this as well; I know my brothers were always expected to be "men" and be "strong" no matter what.
So, yes, I tend to agree about this slight difference, but I never assume that somebody will act a certain way JUST BECAUSE they are a woman or man.
