Because women are generally more suspicious than men. They think about things more, and they tend to read double meanings into sentences.
Men, on the other hand, are more casual and less picky about things. Like A means A. So it's easier to approach them. They know if they want to do something, they know they want to hang out with you and they do, and that's that.
For women, they might be thinking, "Does this person have a motive speaking to me?"
Or "What does this person mean by saying that?"
Or "If I go out with this guy, will he think I'm cheap?"
Or a hundred other thoughts, which hinders bond-making between friends.

A couple reasons off the top of my head. Women think they're all in competition with each other...they check each other out more than men do just to see what the competition looks like. It's more difficult, for some reason, for women to be friends with anybody they think is better than they are. Another reason is they think their intuition is 100% true all the time. Sometimes they read things wrong and make mistakes about the intentions of others. This gets in the way of friendship, too.

I think women are much more tuned in to things like listening HOW something is said as opposed to just the words; noticing body language; thinking through the implications of what is being said faster than males do,,,, and are much quicker to judge people - which is an instinct necessary for protecting our young children, traditionally a female role.
Men tend to just live each moment as it comes and deal with anything bad if/when it arrives. Thus they are easier to become friends with.

Funny. I think men are more difficult to become friends with other men! They tend to compare and compete. Whereas some women may compare and compete with other women, but certainly NOT all women are like that. Rather, they seek companions.

Either you're trying to befriend the wrong kind of women or you just haven't found women that you can click with in that way. It's all about conversation and interests - if you found women that you could talk to in the same way that you talk to your male friends then you wouldn't be asking this question. Trust me as someone who has far more (purely platonic) male friends than female. Maybe you just fit better around male company?
Keep trying though - it is worth it.

I prefer to look for the quality in friendships, rather than the quantity. I am living on a campus with my husband who is finishing up his last year, and many of our friends have already graduated and moved away, but I have been able to cultivate deeper, more meaningful friendships with those who are still here. I'm still friends with the others, but distance creates less frequent contact.

Because most women understand that most mens ultimate goal is to have sex with them and men don't have this same concern...
