<p>Next year, I will be attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison, living on an all guys floor. I grew up with 3 older sisters, and didnt really do any sports growing up. I used to have only guy friends growing up, but then in high school for some reason all my friends became girls. Im not gay, like most people think... I think its because Ive spent so much time with my sisters growing up maybe...</p>
<p>My question is, what can I do to make guy friends next year? What do guys talk about? What do guys do? etc</p>
<p>Stereotypically guy topics: girls, sports, cars. I couldn't bring myself to talk about any of those (no interest whatsoever), so I pick current events or something relevant to that person. Let me tell you though that most guys would probably have a hard time introducing themselves without bringing up any of those three. I'm an anomaly because I'm not afraid to bring up awkward topics.</p>

<li><p>Some more Sex</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Well....that pretty much sums it up. There is nothing wrong with having only girl-friends. You get more in touch with the opposite sex that way.</p>
<p>yeah with my guy friends we usually watch UFC fights, talk about cars, girls, sex, sports, working out or things related to school (hwk, projects). We generally like to go out to the mall/watch movies/go to sports games (at school or professional) or go to parties.</p>
<p>Oh dear how is it that certain people end up in a higher institution I will never know. Just because your a male and just because you are female does not mean you have a set type of interests. Every one is different just fine someone with your interests join an anime club if you like anime or something.</p>
<p>However, studies would prompt you to question that assumption. Are there innate preferences for specific interests? Studies suggest that they exist in children: </p>
<p>"Our finding that male and female vervet monkeys show similar preferences for these toys as boys and girls do, suggests that what makes a 'boy toy' and a 'girl toy' is more than just what society dictates – it suggests that there may be perceptual cues that attract males or females to particular objects such as toys."</p>
<p>For example:
"...The toys preferred by boys – the ball and the car – are described as objects with the ability to be used actively and be propelled through space. Though the specific reasons behind the monkeys' preferences have yet to be determined, she says, the preferences for these objects might exist because they afford greater opportunities for rough and active play – something characteristic of male play. Also, the motion capabilities of the object could be related to the navigating abilities that are useful for hunting, locating food or finding a mate."</p>
<p>This study strengthens the argument that boys tend to be strongly interested in sports and cars (these preferences are, of course, encouraged and perpetuated by society).As for interest in girls, well, that's evolutionary.</p>
