Why do people think this?

Why do people tend to think if a guy hangs out with a majority of girls and only 1 or 2 guys that he is gay? If anything the guy is more straight for hanging out than more girls than guys.

I know what you mean. 90% of my friends are girls. Last year, a rumor broke out that I was gay. I have nothing against them, but I am not gay. Even if I was, I wouldn't tell anyone at the school because I would be crucified. Plus I already know how it is to be treated like it. Not fun. I wouldn't go through it again unless I really was gay.

[Unsolvedmind]

i don't think that. just sayin

[Dimitri]

It is because most people are asswholes and have to retain the traditions of stareotyping and it wrong.

Society is changing wheather the generations like it or not so I say they can suck it.

[nameless12]

well, basicly its just because thats how society thinks now, though it sounds stupid, it is true. it also irritates me that mist og the guys get along with guys, and they hang out guys with other guys, but rarely mix up and hang out with girls... its stressing -_-

[Watta Tem]

yeah , thats true... thats what people will think.

[LuckyLuke]

Because some guys believe a girl is worth nothing more than what's on her chest or in her pants and if you're hanging out with a girl with no intention of having sex, then you're gay.

I have the same exact problem. I'm friends with ALMOST exclusively girls. Guys either think I'm a player or I'm gay... and people around the school are waiting for me to come out of the closet... they'll be waiting at that door for awhile because I'm straight.

Dumb stereotypes.

[Kujiro]

2 possibilities come to mind,
1. Being plain jealousy, the just don't understand that guys and girls can relate to each other platonically, although it's not common, but it's not impossible.
Other guys would start to go "why does he get all the girls".

The other possibility being, stereotypical thinking.
The stereotypical de facto norm would be guys should know guys better, hence they should have besties of a similar gender.
But this is the paradox, constantly hanging with guys would too give them the mindset that you are homosexual, as you take no interest in girls.

It does seem either way is wrong is it not.

In my opinion, screw what they think, just mix with who you feel comfortable with, it's you own life you are leading, so is the choice of friends.
If such friends have a problem with it, they are not friends from the start.
And that choice will and would always be in you own jurisdiction.

Good luck

it doesn't matter who you hang out with but hanging out with only girls just means your efeminent which people can confuse with gay but it doesn't mean you are, there are kids like that at my school,im bi and hang out mostly with guys so hanging out with chicks dosnt make you gay

[Electra Heart]

People do think that... most of my friends are girls and a third of my class thinks im gay

[lilj231]

Because people are sterotypical and insecure about everything nowdays.

[SinisterMystery]

It's because a lot of people are stereotypical morons. They don't think. A lot of my friends are guys, does that make me a lesbian? No.

[BiBoy5674]

i get this too :L
