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?

I think it's interesting that you are comparing "men" and "girls" as opposed to either boys and girls or men and women.

No judgement. Just thought that was interesting.

They all mean the same thing basically

They're not the same thing, though. If you use infantilizing language with people of one sex until they're 40, yeah, people are going to notice that and think it's weird. I used to have a ton of unexamined behaviors like that before I worked on it a fair amount, and yeah, I was pretty lonely back when...
