I get along better with the opposite sex

I am a guy (in both gender and genetically) and straight. However, I find that I cannot stand the topics and conversations that most guys have. I extremely dislike the (how to put it nicely) crude language most guys use. However, I am very comfortable with girls. If it helps, I also have long hair, am homeschooled, have one brother and one sister, and spend a lot of time with them. Whenever I go out for any activities I either hang out with the girls or wallflower if there are no girls are present. Is this normal?

    I used to be like that as a kid. On the one hand, it's good to be able to hang out with all sorts of people and make it work. On the other, why waste your time hanging out with people that you don't like...? Life's too short.

    But I think it's still good to have that "guy" time, and hang out with the guys. And not all men are the typical meathead/moron types.
    So I understand where you're coming from; I naturally always preferred female company. But if you can get over the stuff that puts you off, you might find you have stuff in common with other dudes that you don't get from hanging out with women all the time.
    Then again, that's not to say you have to hang out with guys who are total dicks. There's a shitload of them out there. A veritable shitload.

    I'm a female and was raised mostly by my father and I get along with males better than I do with females, primarily because I have more masculine interests. However, I'm still a female and denying my femininity by trying to stay inside of my comfort zone didn't help me growing up. As I made the effort to reach out to more females for company, I was able to learn how to socialize with everyone better as a female by paying to my natural strengths as a female... most of those strengths I would not have realized had I stayed in my comfort zone.

    It also helped me identify the downfalls of being a female ie having to watch how I interact with men so as to be able to keep from coming off as a bro ho, if that makes sense.

    I believe you're very normal.

    When I was very young, I grew up with male cousins, so I got along with boys better than I did girls. Talking with girls just felt awkward if they didn't have the same boyish interest. However, that all fell apart when my voice got lighter and my boobs grew... so nowadays making male friends is extremely difficult if they're not gay or already in a relationship, and even then, it's still not as easy. Been trying to befriend women more, but it's a challenge since most of the topics are, "My man did this..," "My son/daughter did this," "My hair/my nails...," and so on.

          You haven't seen any saber bouts we do pretty much that every point. Also, fencing is the only sport where you seemingly get sexier as you put on more of the uniform over your clothes.

    This hurts your growth to become a masculine man and teaches you behavior that'll send a straight male to the friendzone every time. Guys aren't afraid to give eachother crap, and you grow tougher by taking it and dishing it back.

    Though us guys are amateur hour compared to how cunning and vengeful girls can be. As a homeschooler you're probably awkward as hell. Guys will point that out but accept you if you can take it.

      They most certainly did. I'm also a "weeaboo, fa**ot, stringbean, pu**y, intelligent donkey and a puffed up pretentious little prick." (I'm fine with the last one though. Alliteration is fun.) May you please tell me what I need to look for in masculine conversations to focus on?

        The thing about masculine conversations is that they are centered around interests. Things moreso than people. Football, League of Legends, internet memes or whatever sports team they're on. You have to share in those interests, know and engage in them to be able to talk about it.

        I'm struggling to recall one time during my school years that I had a conversation with my pals while we weren't doing something. At the school lunch table we were eating, at the LAN parties we playing videogames. Guys don't plan gatherings to talk about our feelings, but to do something together.

        That's why having male friends is so important. You do things together and that forms a stronger bond than anything else will. You need to find the group of guys who share in your interests. Don't imagine it's easy for a homeschooler, though. Good luck.
