People, what do you think if a girl hangs out with mostly guys?

[Chemical Alia]

I only had two or three friends growing up and they were all girls.

These days it's very different, I live halfway across the country and far from my old friends. I went to grad school with 90% males and my workplace is also overwhelmingly male (and almost all of my friends are from work). So it's really no surprise that most of my friends are male. In fact, I only regularly interact with two other women on a daily basis, not counting phone calls with my mom.

All of my friends are quite cool and fun to be around, otherwise they wouldn't be my friends. I don't think anyone in my line of work would hold having mostly male friends against me, but if they did they'd be major assholes.

There is no problem with it. Let other people have their little issues to themselves over in the corner.

Why the fuck would anyone but the girl in question be entitled to an opinion?

 

[Hagi]

Overall I can't say I care much either way. People should hang out with whomever they want to.

I have noticed though that groups of younger people consisting of several boys and only a single girl tend to be rather imbalanced. That's just anecdotal evidence though, wouldn't put too much value in it.

But even now I'm a bit hesitant to get involved with groups with only a single girl in them. Not to say that the girl is bad or any of the guys. Just hormones I guess that mess up the group dynamic.

So what the title says basically. what do you think if a girls friends are majority male? do you think it's bad and should be avoided. Do you think there is a problem with it? Or is a good thing?
same for guys. Whats your opinion on a guys friends being mainly female.

For me, the majority of my friends are male. I have a couple of female friends. But find sometimes that people have a problem with the idea that my best friend is male.

What do I think?

**shrug**

I think friendship is mostly based on mutual interests. In high school, I probably had more male friends than female friends, but that was mostly because it was the 90s and most of the girls in my class didn't want to read those "weird Japanese comics" that I liked. Considering that my favorite back then was Battle Angel Alita (which involves a good deal of eye-ball popping super-violence) that was probably to be expected.

In college, things evened out, even if most of my friends were still associated with the anime club. Also my rising interest in trendy fashions might have helped expand my female friend network some.

Simply put, that she's a person and has friends. So what if they're the opposite gender. You cannot make assumptions solely based on one thing, especially if you're assuming something as shallow as "she has many male friends. She must be a slut", etc.

My of my friends what I was in school were female. Doesn't make me any weirder than I am by choice...

 

[Yopaz]

Really, I can't see a problem with that. I pick my friends out of interests rather than their gender. If you like games then it seems like it's easier to find guys who share that hobby. It's not a problem and some of us just are like that. If it makes you happy then you shouldn't care.

 

[TheVioletBandit]

hmmmm...its been a while since I had freinds , so....

when I was younger I used to ALWAYS hang out with guys..why not? their shits interesting, my best freinds were guys...I think once the teacher at school had asked some of the girls to come and "encourage" me to hang out with them

I dont rmemeber though so that may have not been the case, I was also freinds with girls

highschool I was freinds with girls because it was an all girl school...in fct for those few years i had little contact with guys, they became alien to me

now days...I dont know, I imagine I would be freinds with somone based on our common ground..rather than gender

I'll be friends with you if you want?

My wife only had close guys friends throughout high school. She says that she didn't have much tolerance for the sort of things that her female peers wanted to do and talk about, and they were often too petty and catty for her.

And now? She's as straight as straight can be and is the coolest girl I know.

Conversely, I found myself preferring the company of girls for most of my grade school life. Guys, in general, I found to be too ego-driven and insulting, always trying to prove "I'm better than you" and I always found that annoying. Why should one have to "prove" anything among friends?

And now? Well, I'm married to the coolest girl I know and we're both happy.

I know I'm baised, but my experiences tell me that those heterosexual people who find friendship with the opposite gender more desirable tend to be less defined by traditional gender roles, have healthier attitudes about the other gender in general, and as a result, they may even have healthier relationships in the end. It's ridiculous that society assumes that a guy who prefers girl friends or a girl who prefers male friends is "gender confused" and more likely to be non-heterosexual.

 

[Taunta]

I hang out with mostly guys. IMO guys are more laid-back, and less catty. Also more likely to be into vidya.

I'm a really laid-back person, and I'm not interested in drama or fawning over boys like most girls my age are. Coincidentally, all the girls I do hang out with are super nerds.

Anyways, the idea that it's a bad thing/you're not allowed to have friends of the opposite sex is stupid. I thought we dropped that idea back in kindergarten.

I'm a guy, and most of my friends are female; I don't think it really means anything. It could simply be coincidence. Also, If you happen to enjoy the company of men more than women there is nothing really wrong with that.

Everyone knows bro love is better than chick love, some girls are just willing to get in on it. I find the type of chicks who hang around with a lot of guys are usually a lot more entertaining to be around, usually because they are into the same type of stuff and humor. However I know some people see these girls as slutty, which is a shame, sure a small number of them may hang around with guys to get more action but the vast majority simply do it because they have more in common with dudes than with chicks.

I don't have a problem with a guy who hangs out with a bunch of girls in theory but in practice it can be a little annoying, maybe it's simply jealousy or maybe it is more like "Dude, just back off, you don't need eight chicks to yourself." It can complicate things, especially if he is the type of person who likes to give "advice" to his girls when they are questioning the motives of a certain guy they like. I suppose opposite sex friends could be a bit of a poison pill in that sense. Just totally shitting in my cereal.

Anyway, I'm cool with it, it's just more problematic than same sex friendship, which in my experience creates so much less drama.

A few of my partners have hung out with mostly guys, on the basis that 'guys are way easier to deal with.' I often find it easier to befriend girls because they tend to be more welcoming to me when I first meet people. Plus, I'm not a particularly 'manly' guy (don't play sports, watch much in the way of movies/TV or really drink), so I don't share a lot in common with most of the guys I meet, aside from other gamers. Also, I have a British accent, which becomes super effective with the opposite sex and tends to break the ice a lot faster.

Basically, I think nothing of it. Some people find it easier to get along with a certain sex, for whatever reasons.

Are these people who have a problem potential boyfriends? It sounds like an excellent way to weed out the jealous / clingy types. That certainly isn't a bad thing.

Most of my friends are usually male and my best friend is a gay guy but three of my closest friends are female - and also quite attractive - The things some guys say and do when 'flirting' is a real eye opener to say the least.

What about you? How do you feel about a guy with mostly female friends? Would you avoid them?

Not potential boyfriends, It tends to be usual girls that a I am friendly with. Also some family members. I have an ex that hated the fact that my friends were guys and that was the core reason we broke up, as it got to a point where i couldn't so much as talk to my male friends without being interrogated about it.

Personally I think that there is nothing wrong with someone have more friends that are the opposite sex. Personally, my interests are more shared with guys (gaming, music, sports, drinking). I love my female friends but there is way too much drama with females. Theres always something wrong whether it be guy-problems, fashion, hair, and also some of them freak out about future posible problems (by this I mean things that most likely will never happen yet they still freak about it). I'm not good with drama. My usual reaction is "meh it will be grand"

As for guys with more female friends, it's the same. There should be no prblem with it. One of the guys in our group of friends finds he has more female friends outside our group and finds he is more comfortable with them.

 

[Kapri]

Not trying to be snarky but why is that an issue?

 

[SEXTON HALE]

Friends hmm?
It has been a while but I usually get well with most people guys and girls.
I agree with you on girls being more two faced but guys can seriously fuck you over at the worst possible times.It comes down more to whether or not they are really can be trusted in the first place though.

 

[geK0]

I'm a guy and the majority of my friends are girls who are heavily into 'otaku'culture; what does that say about me? -____-
I just find that I get along more with girls than guys; I still have a few guy friends though.

OT:
I've no issues with a girl who hangs out with guys, they tend to be the ones I prefer being with actually (less dramatic than most girls, and more likely to share common interests).

 

[AgentNein]

I'm a guy and most of my friends are of the lady variety, I guess mainly because I find displays of machismo and tough guy bullshit insufferable. The guy friends that I do have stay away from that bullshit, or else I wouldn't be friends with them.

 

[Freechoice]

hmmmm...its been a while since I had freinds , so....

when I was younger I used to ALWAYS hang out with guys..why not? their shits interesting, my best freinds were guys...

This is a reasonable human female speaking the truth.

Most of the girls I knew were only interested in boybands getting laid and fashion

 

[Relish in Chaos]

I don't give a shit who people hang around with, as long as it's not those that'll get them into trouble. But if I don't know them, then who am I to judge?

We're all human beings at the end of the day, regardless of gender, so people should stop getting their panties in a twist by assuming that a guy's automatically gay if he mainly hangs around with girls but never fucks them, or a girl's automatically gay or a slut if she mainly hangs around with boys. That's just flat-out sexism, IMO.
