Lack of opposite gender: Does it happen to you?

[Celli 4,332]

I've had a few female friends before, but I wouldn't say I do anymore. It doesn't bother me, though.

[CuriousPony 156]

Usually I have both genders around me. But if I find a mostly (or all) male group, I gravitate towards it. I can't help it.. I just get along with guys better. 

 

I'm pretty shy and reserved around people I don't know, but I know that I'll open up much more quickly to a group of guys than a group of girls. I don't know why. I just feel like I fit in better. 

 

I guess I don't tend to act like a girl. Or... well no... I do, but only at times. My way of thinking (at least with socializing) matching the way guys think, so whether I'm in a more girly mood or in a tomboy mood, I do better with guys. 

 

I feel awkward around girls. Maybe not always, but quite often. There's an element of social behavior I feel like I'm missing... but it's great to find girls that I get along with. 

[iceestarz 5,752]

Most of my friends are girls. I like having it that way, idk why but I just feel a lot more comfortable having someone to talk to that's the same gender.

 

Though I have male friends, I typically don't talk to guys as much as girls. I don't feel left out if I'm surrounded by only guys, in fact my two closest friends are both guys. I love them and I could tell them anything. However, as I've gotten older I've gravitated towards other girls as opposed to guys when I was younger.

In real life, I feel comfortable talking to people of the same gender, female. We can relate I guess? I have a few nice guy classmates at my school (or even friends) but it feels like we're flirting every time we talk to each other. I had more guy friends when I was younger, probably because we bonded over playing video games.

 

It seems to be a bit more balanced for me on the Internet. Most of the time when I talk to people on the Internet, I don't even know their age or gender, so I tend to be myself.

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

Since I'm still at school exposure to a lot of people is pretty normal, and my friend group has a good mix of male and female, although it is a bit tipped to the male side, but outside of my main group I'm friends with almost equal amount of both genders.

[FirstPonySpectre 176]

When you're pangender (Identify as all genders) you're never lonely. <3

 

I'm pangender by the way. o.o

[Odyssey 5,713]

Nah, it hasn't. I've always been like one of the guys thanks to my masculine interests, so I had plenty of male friends. It also helps that I grew up all my life with my brother and my father.

 

Although these days I'm not friends with these guys anymore. Either they're growing up or I stopped being friends simply because I tend to friend-zone them...

[Sekr Gray 520]

Growing up, and still today, nearly all of my friends are female, so I've never really had a lack of opposite gender friends. Considering I don't get along with most lads anyways, I've come to expect that a new friend will be female.

However, most of elementary school was me alone with a new doodle in a sketchpad, so I guess you could count the lack of friends then 

[Otter 1,942]

What are friends and where do I buy them?

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

In the past, I think I've averaged about a 2:1 ratio of male to female friends. I'm a dude, for reference. I would guess that's about average... maybe?

 

Nothing against the male friends that I have, but I do wish I had more female friends sometimes... y'know... for... ahem... science.

I seem to have more females talk to me than males.

[Lektra Bolt 2,336]

I'm uncomfortable around guys, even homophobic. I can't relate to sports, being manly, or a love of cars. I don't understand these things and never will. I have very few things in common with guys.

 

Girls seem to look at me and be like oh look, not a girl, bye. I can't get close to girls either.

 

I'm alone. Very alone.

I hang around more girls than guys so not really, I ofcourse have guy friends yeah, just I dont really connect to them. But I am more feminine that most males I guess.

[n0body555 334]

I don't often think about it, although I'd imagine if I was around 40 year old dudes all the time.. .then yes.

 

I'm often around a mixed variety of people, so there has never really been an occasion I felt like this.

[Lunatic Cake 1,618]

I'm in a class full of females, and I love it, no wannabe machos, just plain and simple girls and kindness.

[Flutter's lover <3 8,204]

Of my last couple jobs, one of them was an all female workforce. I rather enjoyed it. I got treated as an equal and all that. Plus I could talk about things I couldn't normally talk about with regular dudes, like fashion, girly drinks, TV shows among other things. I'm a rather effeminate guy to begin with. I don't really like being around "Dude-bros" 

 

That said, I love getting dirty as much as I love shopping. so...lol.

 

Currently though? Meh. I haven't seen any of my female friends for ages, and I only hang out with a couple other guys on occasion, when we schedule a bike meet and go riding together. Only people I see on a regular basis are my parents.

U know I feel really stupid saying this but I seem to like the presence of girls more then guys and being a guy it just sounds silly to say but u know what I don't care as I was saying I like to be in the presence of girls more because most women I know have a super kind love ing and carrying nature so ya all I gota say

Going to an all-girl's school means I don't have much contact with dudes. Not that I mind, most dudes my age that I've met are either awkward as butts or hitting on girls left front and center XD

[Powderpuff 390]

I go to an all girls' college. So yes, I can definitely say there is a lack of males at this point in my life :')

 

But beyond my current school, I can't say that I've ever had any real male friends. Besides my boyfriend, all of the close friends I've had were girls. Not particularly sure why. Maybe I was a little intimidated by guys til I graduated high school and they...almost completely stopped having an impact on my life, haha (save for my boyfriend...he makes up for it.) But once I graduate, I'll have to re-enter the real world...where guys exist...whoah.

 

Edit: darn, above poster just beat me to the all girls' school punch xD

Eeeyup. Not that I particularly mind or care, for now.

[Callisto 1,873]

Not really, no. My small amount of friends is pretty evenly split between male and female.

[Linkuser 18]

I tend to be around waaay more girls than guys. Probably from growing up with so many sisters, which also makes me much more comfortable around girls. I tend to have a harder time being sociable with guys, and I generally see a lot less of them. 

[remove p l e a s e ? 800]

(Reminder: I am a male, as of now.)

While I do have more male friends than female, I've always felt more comfortable and relatable with females, so I end up with better friendships with them than males.

But of course I only get friends when I actually talk, so it's very small chance I get friends anyways.

[Neutral 1,185]

In my class in college there are 7 of us im the only student in that class who is a guy.

So no.

[Horse 63]

I was at an all-girls school for 10 years, from Pre-K to 8th grade.  My best friend and I were the most masculine kids in school.  Most kids went shopping while we hiked and rode bikes in the woods.  At the beginning of 5th grade, we made a new friend who introduced me to computer games with spaceships and shooting.  In 8th grade, I was about average height for my grade and I thought I was pretty muscular.   My two friends and I were the only kids in school who did not wear makeup.  All of a sudden there are boys at school and I am just a weak little girl.
