Their* than*
I'll keep that in mind
IDK if it's an easy way to remember or not, but the way I think about it is then relates to time, than relates to a comparison.
Their relates to ownership. There relates to direction. They*'re* relates to describing (that's probably the easiest as the apostrophe tells you it is a shortened version of two words, "they are")
To actually answer your question though I can only relate to my personal experience and say no, as a man the men I know don't express emotion that well and we aren't that "close." The women I've known tend to be much closer to their friends, but my experience is limited there.
