most of the friends that i have are girls, and i want to make friends that are guys. but idk, whenever i try to make friends with people it never goes anywhere more than a "hi". its as if Ive forgotten how to relate to my own gender o_O. I'm straight but i don't like sports or anything like that, and i think im somewhat more mature that the rest of the guys in my school. How would i go about to make new guy friends?:what:



if this is in the wrong forum.. sorry lol

Check this out. (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=87172)

It's perfectly normal to be male and have mostly female friends, I'm very much the same (I just can't relate to most other men x.x), so in that respect it's nothing to worry about. Now, you might find that there are only ever 2 or 3 blokes you become good friends with, which is also ok.

The thing is with making friends with guys that you have to remember is, (general rule of thumb) if you're not messing around, joking having a laugh or whatever, then you're talking politics/sport/music. The sentimental stuff doesn't come until after several beers, so don't even try that kind of thing straight off the bat.

Have an opinion. Or at least be willing to listen and learn, and try to come up with arguments against what the other person is saying. Get a debate going. Even if you're crap at it, you can have a laugh with it, and it makes good practice.


I'll probably post more when I'm not so tired and can actually think straight, but that's all I got for now. Make sure you read the link I gave you, too.

Good luck!

Hey this is nothing to worry about I am just the same most of the people I talk to are girls but it does not bother me as it is just who I am and I know I get on better with them. So really I have just come to accept it.

I don't like talking to guys, as usually they are idiotic arrogant creatures (in this age). i don't really like talking to girls either. I guess i don't like ppl too much.
Anyway, you don't have to do anything... Do the things that makes you feel good.
Don't change for the society. Keep your friends, and if you are satisfied with them don't try to find more...

Despite what everyone here has said I personally believe that it is important for a male to have atleast one close male friend (as it's important for a female to have atleast one close female friend) why's that?
Well because there will come a time when your going to deal with "male-related issues" that females will be clueless about, and not only clueless but awkward with the subject itself and this is when you turn to your male peers. Now how to make more male friends...

Not all guys are sports driven nut shells. Yes this is true, people including Other Men need to stop generalising the entire male population as a whole. What are your interests? Do you like Music, Arts? Search for clubs. If not in school then get involved in the community. Community Service? (You'd be surprise they have Youth programs for teens at hospitals). Good way to meet ambitious teenagers.

Summer Internships, camps designated to specific interests. Like Art, Dancing, Theatre camps etc..Plenty of guys out their to socialise with that are not only interested in sports you just have to search in the right places :P

And really immature, plus i relate to girls alor more then i do with guys, there alot easier to make friends with(:. Oh and theres nothing wrong with having mainly female friends, everybodies different(:.

The issue with female friends is how fucking moody they can get some times.

At your age a lot of guys are immature, but I'm sure it will improve in the next year or two.
