Why are guys funny about having male friends?

YOU ARE SO TOTALLY GAY!

From my point of view males can become friends with each other quicker than females. I don't want to offend you but unless you are gay or very shy you shouldn't have a problem. If you don't fit this description just get 2 know some guys who share your same interest. Most males enjoy playing or watching sports. Do you?
Just strike up a conversation with someone.
The Main thing is 2 just be yourself and just talk to people.

making friends with another guy is piss. just talk footy, or any other sport. ask who they barrack for, and then go from there.
if you don't follow sport, then try music, line of work or something, but sport is the best topic by far.
unless u come across a complete fuckstick, who won't talk, then you'll be fine.
that chick that told you that we don't put effort into *male friendships* is a dumbass, its just that we do it so easily, it just looks like we don't care.

Ive never heard a guy cry about anything like this. I'm thinking you are probly just going up to guys in a bar trying to be there friends and they are probly thinking you are trying to pick them up for a date and dick suck. You should already have your friends set, those are your friends for the rest of you life of course you will get more but for the most part alot of them will just be through your friends you already got. Stop worrying about it.

I don't know...ya might be gay...

shove a carrot up ya arse, Im sure you'll like it.

Don't try so hard.

ur gay.

if you want a male friend just give him a hand job. works for me every time.

Because most guys fail miserably at life. All they want is to get laid and have "me time" when they're not getting laid. I'm a straight guy and I totally know what your talking about. The best way to make male-to-male friendships is to just designate people for certain things. Like, "Bob and I go skating, thats our thing." So you would only talk to or hang out with bob when your skating. This keeps a specific friendship which is about as much as most guys can handle

You are gay to the MAX!!! (yes, MAX with THREE explination marx, thats how much of a gay you are)

I am a guy and I don't think it's wrong to want some male friends. I never had any brothers, so I have always wanted a buddy to hang out with. Everyone needs friends, whether male or female. I think some of the stereotypes that are put on guys in our society is stupid. This is just one of them.

And to add to my last comment....it doesn't make any guy gay to want buddies to hang out with.

Being friends with a man is wasted time unless you are a female, in which case get down on your knees and come to my basement with my other chained whores.

Wait a minute. This is the planet Earth, right?

Lets see, childhood, playing with friends. Did anyone notice a key word their? FRIENDS.

I have never heard of this complaint before!

I have friends that are male from when I was in elementary school!

Now I understand that in some situations, where a family may move to a new development, or apartment building or a country setting where there aren't many kids around for other kids to become friends with that it is obviously difficult to MAKE friends.

But you must either be in school or have a job. You should be encountering other me every day in your life.

Surely there must be at least one that you share some common interest with. Even if you don't have a common interest you can still be friends. Go out for a couple of beers. Go to a car show, go fishing. How about double dating. You have a girl friend. Try going out with another couple. You could strike up a friendship with the other guy.

I have to agree with others. It sounds a bit strange that someone would complain about not having same sex friends. This is something that usually comes quite natural to most people.

that's odd. i usually have the opposite problem because if you try to make friends with women they think you're hitting on them and if you do make friends with them people think you're in a relationship with them.

most guys tend to have the same highschool buddies,i'd imagine it'd be really hard to make guy friends at like a bar or something.apparently you dont work in a place where you have alot of time to socialize.i suggest finding a job where alot of people work.

I'm not sure if guys are necessarily weird about having male friends,like some other ppl mentioned. Most guys like to talk about sports, sex, and, whatever hobbies they might be interested in. I grew up with 2 brothers, no sisters, and I'm the youngest in the family. So I have found that I get along better with males that I do females for the most part. Growing up with this kind of environment made me closer to men than women. I have about 5 good female friends I can honestly consider to be forever in my life. That is all I need. Most ppl are fake and shallow. Indulge in your hobbies and the friends will follow! Good luck!
