1. You make a lot of men friends====> Men friends, not man friends, right?

2. You make a lot of women friends====> Women friends, right?

3. You make a lot of girl friends.====> What does this mean? You have a lot of girl friends or you change girl friend frequently? There's no such thing as "girls friends", right?

I would say 'm,an friends' and 'woman friends' in the context you provide ('friends' is plural. 'Man' and 'woman' become adjectives in a way)

I would see no difference in the meaning of the third sentence to that of the others.
