Is it normal for a guy's closest friends to all be female?

In high school, my three closest friends were all guys. Since college however, I've found it very difficult to identify men that I trust or consider close. Now, my best friends are all women, and the majority of the people I spend time with are women or their other close male friends.

I'm 24, straight, and I've had infrequent but otherwise normal, healthy, and fulfilling dating/sexual experiences in the past.

When I try to "logic" it out, I suspect that I may see other men as competition, or I may be drawn to women because they are better communicators and more caring - traits I value in friends. I've also done some volunteer work as a Sexual Assault Counselor, and it's likely that this has colored my view of men in general as well.

So, I have some ideas about WHY I am how I am, but I wonder if I SHOULD be. Is it normal for me have so few close male friends? Should I try to change my views and practices? It'd be especially interesting to hear from women who have the opposite problem - too many male friends and not enough female friends. Thanks for your feedback!

    you have a lower level of testosterone than most men, therefore you relate to women better. women are known for being petty, overly emotional, and shitpickers. maybe you are like that too.

    It's pretty normal. Most men have a hard time trusting other men because they see them as competition and are afraid of looking weak if they were more honest.

    Get a group of guys together and see if it takes less than 5 minutes before one of them starts showing off. Women don't have the superiority drive like that so they're easier to talk to about more personal things.

    I think this is pretty normal, it is your choice who you want to be friends with and if you feel safer or closer to girls, then that's fine. :)
