The Student Room Group

the only girl in a group

so, im a girl.at uni during class,labs,projects i always hang around with 4 guys. so we're kind of one group (the 5 of us).theyre great friends and there r no complicatoins amongst us. i dont see them outside uni.im not into any "social" outings,clubs and the like.
Its not that i dont know any girls,,,,,,,,,,i know 4 or 5 girls in class but i dont sit with them since im more friends with the other guys

anywayz what am i asking,,, yeah so i basically find it alot easier/less complicated with the guys, girls seem to make things complicated. am i weird thinking/doing that?

would u think its weird if a girl in class only hangs around with guys?
what r the guys in my group thinkin?
i dont act like a slut in any way.

i know this post is slightly stupid but., hey im curious to know :rolleyes:

Would I think you were weird for only hanging out with guys?
--No. I'd either think you were cool or think nothing of it at all and move on with my life.

What are the guys in your group thinking?
--If the guys treat you as their friend, they probably think you're cool and think nothing of it. Guys don't tend to overthink everything as much as girls do, so they're probably not sitting around at sleepovers going 'omg and lyk...don't you think it's a little weird that anon lyk, only hangs out with boys?'

They might even begin to think of you as 'one of the guys' if you are around often enough and not acting like a complete flirtateous ditz all the time.

I'm alot like you. The majority of my friends are boys and it is fantastic...like having loads of older brothers to look after you! And you get to learn all about what they think of girls and stuff, which is aces.

Don't worry about it too much, friends are friends no matter what their sex!

Ah, I wouldn't worry about it. All of my housemates and almost all of my friends at uni are blokes, and none of them see anything wrong with it. The only problem arises when one of them (who is 6 foot-ish) gets drunk, declares me to be 'one of the lads', slaps me on the back in what he considers to be a 'male-bonding' way, and sends me (a wee 5'2") hurtling accross the room...:rolleyes:

But no, seriously, I don't see why it should be an issue.

thanx for the replies :smile:
ya Ink i guess ur right in the fact that guys dont over think stuff like girls
I'm in the opposite situation, around 80% of my uni friends are female and I'm a guy (straight) - it's only a problem if you make it a problem.
pretty much all my friends are male, half the time im being the flirtatious ditz mentioned in the second post and sometimes they play along but the rest of the time i think they forget i dont have a penis. i play some computer games and mtg and i do enjoy being the team mascot, its allmost an initiation to invite a new player in and watch them totally underestimate me. for some reason people assume that i am purely there for decorational purposes then find it quite embarassing when they lose :rolleyes: of course i have to completely destroy them just on the principle that i will not be beaten by someone stupid enough to think that having a cock somehow boosts your ability to play a strategy game.

i think your right about things being more simple with guys, once youve been accepted its much easier to get along with a group of guys than it is with girls. much less back stabbing for one thing.
think about how it feels to be the only boy in a group
sex is just a gender like age is just a number.
Im pretty odd in which i switch from guys to girls depending on what class I'm in. In philosophy theres a row of 4 guys and me and its ace, whilst in English I sit with my girlys.
Friends are just friends in the end.

Hey its definitely not weird that you hang out with guys more than girls. Guys are usually a lot less complicated than girls, like has previously bin sed they don't over think stuff like we tend to do and there's generally less bitchiness. If you're totally comfortable bein in male compny all the time as opposed to female then you have no problem.
I am always the only girl in a group, it always ends up like that!! I get on wayyyy better with guys that with girls, they're simpler and easier to read and much much less bitchy. I play system link computer games (ie. 5 or more players) all the time with them, we go out to the pub, etc etc. I'm the only girl in my group of 4 at home and our group of 5 at uni. I love being one of the guys.

They are like big brothers to me and they do tend to tease me and beat me up a bit (read: tying me up with duct tape and then carrying me around and taking pictures) but I find it really funny and its all just a laugh. If they were seriously bullying me then obviously I would take action! I'm engaged to my boyfriend (we're getting married in July) and he loves that I'm really happy to play Halo and go to the pub etc. I think the only time they remember that I'm a GIRL girl, if you know what I mean, is when we dress up to go out clubbing somewhere and all of a sudden its like "legs, breasts, oh God, she's a girl". Luckily I think they snap out of it pretty soon, although I have caught a couple of them having a cheeky look once or twice....

I love it. Guys rock way more than girls!

All my flatmates are lads and in my group in lectures theres about 20 of us, only 4 girls! LOL
Last year when we started 6th form me and my female friend were the only girls in a group of abt 10 boys and have been tight with them since...but it's an all boys school with a mixed 6th form of abt 50 girls in each yr..so its not that weird...but sometimes it'll be only one girl with the rest of our guy friends and it's not weird we're just "one of the lads" and we joke abt and get along so well that sometimes i dont even see them as boys...i prefer the company of boys to girls though
ya its no big deal, happens when your studying a male dominated field.
The majority of my friends are guys also, they are easy to get along with easy to suss:tongue: and are much less complicated than all my friendships with girls.
its just how things are somtimes, nothing to worry about
they just see you as a mate most probably, men are much more straightforward in their relationships than we are :p:
And hey as to what other people think, who cares! don't be worried about it.

I don't think it's at all weird, then again I've always had more male friends than female and got on better with them too. Mainly because I just had more interests in common with the guys than with the girls I knew. As has been said already the guys probably don't think anything of it.

wouldn't worry about it, I have lots of guy friends, that is just the way things happen sometimes. If you aren't all over them flirting then people probably won't think you're a slut. in fact they probably don't think anything of it really.

The guys on my course I hang out with keep taking the piss outta me as I'm the only girl in the group and an easy target:frown:
