Hanging with Guys

[BigBoy1324]

Ok, so I am a guy. And I have always hung out with girls. But I am going to a new school (9th Grade) but I was wondering if anyone had advice for how to be one of the guys and just make them my friend group...and please dont give me any of that "be yourself" stuff. thanks!

You can find a guy who has the same interests as you. Introduce yourself to them and then go from there. Oh, and that 'Be yourself' thing doesn't always work. The idiots in school judge you based on what you like. All of my friends are guys, so... :D

Thanks and I know with the whole "be yourself" kinda thing. Thats why I asked no to say that

Well since I was raised around girls my whole life and never had any real male influence I just get along better with girls because I find guys stupid and immature a lot of the time?..so I can't really answer you question

And I will be the one that says, "BE YOURSELF."

As another poster stated, it's true that even if you are yourself people will judge you & that's true. HOWEVER, you won't be happy being someone you're not. And even though being judged sucks, being judged as someone you're truly not is even worse.

We are all unique and original. (Most of us anyway) Be you & you will make friends that like the REAL you. Whether they're males or females.

You can try to be someone else, you can try to like things that you don't, you can work to make friends. But in the end, you'll just feel uncomfortable, lonely, & depressed. If you want to make more guy friends then hang around guys more often but still be you. If they like YOU then you will make a new friend. If they don't, then move on & try again. People can smell a fake from a mile away. So yes, ALWAYS be yourself.

I never really hung out with girls, I was raised with the idea that if you hang out with mostly girls, you're gay. As I grew older, I realized that's not the case and I mixed it up.
The single best bonding experience in high school would be a sports team.

Do whichever activities you like and join clubs you're interested in, and try not to give a crap about what others think. Just do what you love.

I am in theatre too!!! And I was also raised by women so I usually have the same opinion if guys.

Join teams or clubs that interest you. Also, never doubt the power of observation. If you are wondering how to act around a group of guys, just observe and learn. Don't stare though, people usually don't like that.

Also, making new friends can be great, but I see a lot of people posting threads here about how they are put off by clingy people, or are being called out for being clingy. So, just try not to do that, and you'll be fine :)

I know you don't want to hear this, but be yourself! Just try not to force your views or opinions unto others in a pushy way.

Good luck!

so your friends won't even really be friends with you because they won't know you. okay, that's one way to go.

I've always got on better with girls than guys (and I'm not gay) and really the best thing to do is get in with a group who have the same sense of humour and tastes as you. Forget the "cool" groups because you'll only want to have friends who you're compatible with and like it or not, being yourself is the way to achieve this

You talk to the guys at your new school! Join a sport! That's another good way for meeting guys! The only way for meeting new people is to put yourself out there and be active around school!
