<p>I am not gay. However, I have a lot of friends that are girls. I treat them just like guys. It is weird. Like i have secret handshakes and act as if they are guys. (on the other hand, I have a lot of friends who are guys).
Is this unusual? Does it just mean that I do see everyone as equal or something?</p>
<p>No, I'd say it's pretty normal to have both male and female friends, and close ones of both sex.</p>
<p>yes your a freak </p>
<p>j/k we love you, your normal</p>
<p>It's normal. I'm the same way except that I'm a girl who hangs out with guys.</p>
<p>You're completely sane. I promise. Now, if you weren't attracted to women at all, and found yourself repeatedly checking men out in the showers/bathroom/gym...then you might want to ask yourself a few questions and see how comfortable you are about your sexuality.</p>
<p>But in this case, it just seems like you're a cool guy who treats all his friends the same, regardless. Good for you!</p>
<p>Not weird. I have this one guy friend, and I swear he has no male acquiantences. We try to gross him out and get him to get some friends who are dudes by talking about periods and make up and boys, but he's unphased. For his birthday I bought him that shirt that says, "Nobody knows I'm a lesbian". Because it's either that, or he's so straight he just can't stand a moment away from the female sex. Compared to him you're very normal, I think. In fact, compared to anybody you're pretty normal. I can't even figure out what you think is wrong with having girls who are "one of the guy" type friends...it seems pretty commonplace.</p>
<p>I do the same thing, except I'm female. I like boys as friends better than girls (they're less petty/self concious/boring!) Me and my friend Jordan even have a special hi-five!</p>
<p>Nothing wrong with you. At HS, I always felt more comfortable talking one on one with girls (unless it was my best guy friend, who is older than me). While I didn't have any handshakes, high fives were pretty common.</p>
<p>I always felt that girls of age 16-21 were more mature than guys (unless they're the immoral slutty kind). Being an only child and one who had to become man of the house following a divorce at home, I sort of grew up at an accelerated rate. By the time I was 15 I had the responsibilites of most 23 year olds. I think that may be why I often rejected typical 15 year old boy behavior and saw eye to eye with the more mature girls more often than the guys.</p>
<p>I guess being around a lot of girls who are just friends (and not romantic relationships) is why I don't like it when my guy friends try to take advantage of the girls. I was always the "go to guy" when they felt uncomfortable, sort of like a "big brother" (one of them in particular was my "little sister"). It may also explain why I don't care about gender stereotypes that much (I don't have a problem with a guy who's sad or a guy like myself who can't drive a manual transmission).</p>
<p>So, to conclude a post that got a bit off-topic...there is nothing wrong with having good friends of the opposite gender. If anyone's wrong it's with the people who can't accept a guy having girls as friends. You watch--they'll be the ones who can't keep a wife in the long run because they never know how to treat a lady as a friend!</p>
<p>Well, I would say you're completely normal, as I have more close girl friends than guy friends. However, I'm bi, so that might not suit your purposes very well.</p>
<p>But I think that you've struck a balance is the best thing in the world. You're one of those people in the world who truly isn't sexist - quite the commodity!</p>
<p>Besides, having good friends of both genders can come in handy. Where to go for advice or fun [intelligent] conversation? GIRLS! Where to go if you need to blow off some steam and just chill? GUYS!</p>
<p>Haha I went to a private, all-boys school for 9 years so I treat my female friends veerrry differently from my male friends.</p>
<p>haha same here y17, and no i never attended all boys school.</p>
<p>i'd say about 99.9 percent of my friends are guys. my boyfriend LOVES that :)</p>
