Iin: for an 18 year old straight guy to not have any guy friends?

83% Normal
5 Comments

As the title says: I'm an 18 year old straight guy who grew up with 3 older sisters with no brothers. I'm closer to my mom than I am with my dad, in fact i strongly dislike my father. I didn't have any close guy friends growing up through elementary, middle, or high school.

I'm now a freshman in college and 99% of my friends are girls. It's a community college, and I do not plan on dorming whenever I transfer. I've had a few girlfriends in the past, but nothing that lasted too long or too serious.

A few of the reasons why I don't have too many guy friends is:
1. I don't trust most of them.
2. I dislike their high egos and their eagerness to show off, or prove their "macho-ness"
3. I just always feel competitive with them in a way where I feel like they always talk down to me or condescend to me. I feel inferior to them.

All of it just turns me away from ever befriending them. Girls are completely different and I do not have this problem with any of the friends that I have that are girls. I can 100% be myself and not be afraid of it. Befriending girls has always been easier for me and more natural.

Is that normal?

    I got 2 sisters in my family with no brother, I almost never say any words to my father. You know, I also have a lot of girl friends, but in fact I really need some boy in my relation. I befriended with a lot of male after that, and you know, it gives a colorful life when you could befriend everyone openly. You're a guy too, and you need the guy to talk too, you know. Just take the positive attitude of girls and boys, and you'll be the wise one :)

    I am the same
    I grew up with only my mother aunty grandmother and 4 sisters both older and younger (I might have a slight sister complex), my father came into the family when I was 12 and refuse to talk with him.
    I avoided all the male students because they where idiots always talking trash and the shit that comes from that, I changed all classes that had a male teacher.at school I would always hang around with the girls and fit in well. In highschool electives I took all there classes, being the only male in fashion, jewelry and cooking, I tort 3/4 of the girls how to use a sewing machine, how to make rings, bracelets and bangles, and was a wicked cook, loved them all.
    I'm now in the second year of uni I'm in a diploma of game design, it's male dominant 90% and though I don't trust them I know that I can rely on them.

    Tl;Dr: I grew up with women and never had male friends only female ones, and I don't trust anyone male, but I find that male uni students are not ALL idiots.
