Is it bad to have so many guy friends?

Question

i have my group of friends that are girls. we do everything together. and i have friends that are girls from my soccer team, and a bunch of random acquantances at school. but i also have a lot of friends that are guys that i hang out with and talk to a lot. and believe me, we just hang out... we don't do anything... (you know what i mean) i just happen to have a lot of guy friends. my mom keeps telling me it will give me a bad reputation if i hang out with guys so much. i'm just friends with these guys, just like i have friends that are girls...so i'm wondering, is it bad to have a lot of guy friends? i'm a sophomore by the way.

Answer 1

Absolutely not!  You have the right to choose you're own friends.  If you like them and enjoy spending time with them, then you should be their friend.  It shouldn't matter if they're guys or girls.  I doubt anyone really cares who you hang out with.  I have several guy friends.  In fact, my best friend is a guy.  So stay friends, and ignore it if people think it's weird.

Answer 2

It's a sign of a Tomboy

Answer 3

There's nothing wrong with having a lot of male friends. Boys tend to be much easier to get along with; there isn't even close to as much drama and they're so much more easy-going and fun to hang out with. Unless the boys you hang out with get in trouble a lot at school or they're obnixious and rude, I don't think anything bad would happen to your reputation.

Answer 4

i am a boy and i am sorry boys for telling some facts here to my friend..

  having number of friends(both) is not a mistake, problem is that some boys act as if they are good in all times ( i am not pointing all)

As our parents are very affectionate towards us they always think like your mother (  keeps telling us that  it will give us a bad reputation if we hang out with guys so much)



and also some girls are dangerous too because they don't care for anything

and really it is better to have a few friends my dear...and this will become an added advantage for us while studying!

FACT!!!!

and one more thing, guys generally like girls who has girlfriends and boy friends less in number.(TRUST ME)

listen to your parents always my friend and

i wish you all the best for your future

Answer 5

it's ok not anything like tomboy or anything jus don't give false impressions jus joke around ... and guy friends will know u then !!

Answer 6

No!  It's great to have a lot of different friends, because then you have all sorts of people to talk to about different things.  What your mom probably means is that if one of your guy friends ends up with a girlfriend, that girl may feel intimidated by you.  You know the whole "Oh, we're just friends" excuse isn't going to go over well with any of your guy friends' signifigant others.  But as long as you don't date any of them, your reputation has no reason to decline.

Answer 7

It isnt bad your just you. My cousin hangs out with guys alot but its because she lives in a small town and most of the girls are s***s that she doesnt want to hang out with. Your mom is just possibly worried about you. but its fine your being yourself and hanging out with your friends

Answer 8

no, its much easier to get along with the oppopsite s*x.

its perfectly normal as long as you keep clean.

Answer 9

if u are comfortable with them there should not be a problem.This a opportunity to learn about the opposite s*x.i have alot of male friends they are sometime better than female company

Answer 10

well yes and no.

Good thing about having guy friends is that they're gonna be there for you to stick up for you when you get hurt.

Bad thing about having a lot of guy friends is that girls will think your a bad person i dont wanna say the name but you know what im saying.

But its your choice they're your friends you pick whoever to hang out with

Answer 11

you sound exactly like me!

I'm also a sophomore and my mom used to tell me the same thing!

i will go over to one of their houses just to hang out,

the way i have got my mom to be okay with the boys is i bring them around.

i let her get to know them.

when she found out that half of them were at least 18 it kind of made her iffy.

so we started hanging at my house.

so she could see exactly what we were doing!

they really surprised me though.

they are amazing with my little sister [shes 2]

and now my mom loves them!

i can do anything with them now, except camping.

do the same with your mom she will feel better about you hanging out with guys.

and as for it being bad to have a lot of guy friends,

its not bad at all.they are more fun, you get to know guys [for real] they will talk to you about anything!

they wont turn their back on you, and the most drama you will hear about is their girlfriend problems.

i hope i helped=]

Answer 12

Not at all, I dont even deal with females, my friends are all male, thats real normal, and it also shows your not as shallow and have more to yourself if you dont relate well to these petty broads, I feel you!

Answer 13
