Find it easier talking to girls

First off, I'm a guy and most of my friends are guys. But I always find that in new situations, I end up talking to girls. I just find that they make much better conversation than guys, and are so much easier to talk to.

I'm a little worried that at uni I'm only going to end up with girl friends, and I really don't want to be that type of guy. Do you think that's likely to happen? Also, to girls, do you have more/less respect for the type of guy that will have a conversation with you? Or do you find them less attractive?
poof! Just jestin like but seeing as most blokes dont exactly talk about feelings to each other I suppose it's a decent enough way to get stuff off your chest.

Wouldn't go making a habit of it though because all girls will see you as 'just a friend'

toughen up a bit lad
It definitely good to have a mixture of both female and male friends. Im a female and like having male friends because i can just chat away about stuff and they dont really care wheraes girls judge more. At uni i am sure you will make friends with both sexes, there will be so many new people. Its good to have a group of male friends though, because there are things you can only and do and say infront of guys, same as girls need their girlfriends for other reasons. I personally like guys making conversation with me.

What do you mean that type of guy?

I have more girls as friends then guys and I don't see anything wrong with it. I just get on better with girls, its a simple fact.

I find it easier to talk to girls more than lads, i always have done, hence i have more female mates than male mates, my male mates get really jealous about this though but i cant do anything about that. I do get on with blokes as well but i find most much more difficult to talk to for some reason.
So you get along with girls and you don't want to?
Are you actually male?
I'd have more respect for someone willing to talk to me definitely.

gotta be kidding? some girls are yes, way easier to talk to...

and i've even had female friends that said that me, as a guy, is much easier to talk to then their female friends :eek:

Yeah, I've found that as a whole, girls suck. But hanging out with just guys can get obnoxious too. Compromise = have a balance!

personally i find most guys far more interesting to talk to, but its nice to have balance of girls and guys as mates....

I think I have a similar thing- I go to an all-boys school, so find that a lot of my out-of-school friends are girls. Maybe its me just mixing it up and creating a balance, but I like it.

I wouldn't want to choose between the two, but being able to talk to either is good. They're both different, and I think worth having.

I know exactly what you mean.

But I know at uni I will, being an engineer, probably have more guy friends, lol.

It's not like that, I don't have 'feminine' conversations, I just find it easier to have conversations generally with females.

That's the thing, I'll be doing English so it's like 99% girls! I definitely plan to have a balance, I'm just worried that if I only start conversations with girls I'll end up with mostly female friends?

But would you see them as purely 'friend' material? Is it better not to become friends with a girl you're interested in?

Absolutely its better not to become friends with the girl you are interested in cos that would would lead to all sorts of problems and confusing feeelings... Trust me.. do not go there....

well about the pure friend material.. i wouldnt know cos i am a guy but from a guy's point of view, i do see some girls as just purely friends material.

i think that having friends from both sexes is absolutely a must cos you can have blokeys chat with the boys about footy, girls and stuff and seek advice from girls on dealing with relationships and "shopping for clothes" advice.
