Realized I don't have any good guy friends

<p>First of all, I'm a sophomore, male, and straight.</p>

<p>I just recently realized that all the good friends that I've made over the past year have been girls. I do know quite a few guys fairly well, but none that I could call really good friends. I never had this problem in high school, and didn't realize until recently how much I missed being able to just hang out with guys. I'm not looking for a bromance, but just people with whom I can hang out in a way that I can't with my female friends. I'm not effeminate at all, so I don't understand what the problem is. Is there something different about making guy friends in college that I just didn't pick up on?</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Haha, I know the feeling. Even if I’m a month into college, all of my friends are girls; I’m thinking the same thing you are.</p>

<p>If you had no friends at all I’d be worried.</p>

<p>Kind of the same here, except I don’t have any really close friends, but much more often than not people who I am ‘friends’ with (setting a reasonable standard for what will constitute a friend, I don’t really hang out with anyone, but there are people I am friendly with, talk to in class and such) are female. I think this is happening less in college though as all of my classes (except chem) are overwhelmingly male.</p>

<p>I’ve kind of always had girls as my best friends. It’s not really that I don’t get along with guys, but I just never seem to click as well. I think it’s better to just make friends with the people you like and not try to have affirmative action friendships.</p>

<p>I don’t have any close guy friends at my University, so I always make a point to hang out with my guys friends from high school whenever they’re in town or during breaks.</p>
