<p>I went to an all boys school in a rural area of Canada for almost 6 years, and needless to say, most interaction with females was with 50 year old teachers...</p>
<p>Now I am at college, and I find myself talking to girls in a completely different manner than I do with guys. With guys I am more... guyish (curse fair bit, my tone is rougher) and when they see me talking to girls (no cursing, more formal I guess) they say I am being so fake, even though I am not consciously trying to be different.</p>
<p>Are people normally like this or is this just a product of being in an all-male environment through puberty?</p>
<p>I act just like that around girls, but I'm not sure I act all "formal." It's not like I call a girl "miss" or anything, but I do act differently around girls except for those who a bit tomboyish.</p>
<p>I went to an all guys school as well and I'd admit that I act a bit different around girls but I don't act formal like the previous poster pointed out.</p>
<p>I too am usually more comfortable with the ladies. But that's probably because most guys can't carry on a good conversation while most of the ladies can.</p>
<p>guys do try to censor thier language around girls it seems. When I'm in a conversation with a bunch of guys & one of them blurts out something with a curse word, or something sexual .. they immediatly turn to me & apologize for thier language. I honestly don't care what they say 'cause I say it myself sometimes, but I guess it's nice they are trying to watch what they say when a lady is around.</p>
<p>Everyone is different around different sexes. Ever try talking to someone who you really couldn't tell if they were a girl or guy? It's a rare occasion, but you really don't know how to behave. It's weird.</p>
<p>i think it's nice when a guy is a little more sensitive around you--it shows he cares and is making an effort to restrict his behavior to be suitable to you. that means he's nice. it gets annoying when a guy treats you like another guy, especially if you want to get something going :)</p>
<p>I treat women differently, but not differently in a way that makes me look like a another person though. I'll generally treat women nicer and with more respect than guys, but this doesn't mean I treat my guy friends like ****.</p>
<p>i know that down here in the south we treat girls like princesses... not because they cant handle certain things but because they shouldnt have to... we dont curse around them (unless they do it first and even then we stay away from the f word and p word etc), we also open doors, walk on the street side of the side walk etc</p>
<p>hahaha, as a female, i hate when guys treat me differently. so i usually same something outlandish and overtly sexual so that the boys know that i don't want to be treated like a princess.</p>
