Hi guys

so yh basically all my friends are girls and it irritates me. I've always wanted to be "one of the boys" but i've never been able to-what do I do to get lads to be mates with me?

Hahaha, for ages I felt the completely opposite to that. I had heaps of guy friends, and desperately wanted to have a friend that was a girl. That only really happened this year, and even then it was only like one or two girls.

My advice, and this may sounds really counterproductive; don't worry about it. Being one of "the boys." It's overrated and boring, or at least it was to me, and for so long I desired to be close with girls. You'll also find that chances are a lot of the time you'd spend with these guys would just be talking about girls. From my own experience, I'd kind of balance out hanging around with this one girl I was really good friends with and hanging around a larger group of guys; and guess what? Most of the time they just sat there, talking about girls they wanted to have sex with. One was even the girl I was friends with! So yeah, the conversations weren't exactly amazing. Being friends with heaps of girls is actually kind of better in the long run, since it greatly increases your chances of getting a girlfriend (I don't know if you already have one of not, but I found that being friends with girls definitely exposed me to a lot more chances). Also, and this probably sounds really stupid, but I reckon there's a good chance that a lot of the guys would you see hanging around all these girls and be jealous of you.

Sorry if my answer wasn't helpful, I kind of just rambled a bit.

When I was younger I had more guy friends than girl friends, and now the situation is the opposite. In my case, that happens a bit because I don't think I fit the stereotyped description of a "boy": I suck at sports, I don't like music that most guys like, I find it boring talking about girls and sex, I worry a lot about my future career, etc..., so all of this makes me more close to girls than properly to guys, although sometimes I wish it wasn't like this. Think about it this way: you would prefer to have girl friends or no friends at all? I think I know your answer, so you just need to see the good and funny side of hanging out with girls instead of with boys. It's not a big deal, and like the user above me said, other guys can become jealous of you (it also happened to me, although I didn't give it any importance).

just be yourself and act normal,don't be desperate and you will see them coming automatically OR join a sport and i guess you will get along with the guys in the sport well

I have the exact same story as you. It's hard isn't it? I mean I try to talk to the guys but I just come off as weird. I guess we should be thankful that we have friends.

Honestly you need to start opening up more and not be afraid to talk to guys! I use to be in the same situation, but lately I've started talking to more guys, doing activities where I would find guys to talk to. You just need to be open and willing to try new things to meet more guys.

So long as you're happy with the friends you have, theres no major cause for concern IMO

yeah he is right.. It is good to have a friends even if it is only a boy or a girl, the important is to have a good social life... If you don't have any friends, it feels so worst and also feels that you're going to die
