Are you more of a guy's girl or a girl's girl?

I'm both. I usually go out with bunch of guys..to dinner, or movie or a party. Sometimes i go out with my husband and his friends and be the only female on the table. Growing up being the only daughter, surrounded by my father, brother and to mention my uncles.. and having many male friends, i found myself at ease around men. I am close to my mother and to my aunts as well and have lots of girl friends. I spend a lot of time with them. Bonding, girl's night out, dinner and shopping! Women get along pretty well when it comes to shopping! LOL!. And not to forget..share gossips! hehehe I do believe that it's important for a person to be around to both men and women and learn from each other.

I've always felt more at home with guys as friends than girls. Which is weird, because it takes a long time for me to learn to trust a guy, but once I do, it seems like I trust them implicitly. Making female friends was very hard for me when I was young, mostly just because we didn't have any similar interests. There just weren't enough girls where I lived who wanted to climb trees or play video games or play D&D (or other roleplaying games). As an adult I tend to have male friends for pretty much the same reasons as then: we have more interests in common. I still know very few women that roleplay, play video games, watch anime, talk about various strange scientific things, etc. There have been situations where I've gotten stuck hanging out with women who were dating my husband's friends by default, in situations where the genders kind of split off, and I sit there and feel like I have nothing to say most of the time. They talk about things that I just can't seem to get interested in, no matter how much I try! It's getting a little easier for me over the past 3 years because I work at a bank with a LOT of other females, so they are starting to mystify me a little less. But there are still moments when the (male) store manager and I will find ourselves looking at each other and saying "What are these girls talking about????" I do have a couple of very close female friends, but they like myself have mostly interests that are considered "masculine" and they also consider me to be one of few female friends they have.

*laughs* Maybe I should have tried going to a girl's school! =p Actually now I am learning to deal with women better, like I said, partially becuase of work. Being a mother helps in a way too, because it leads to me forming friendships with other mothers, and even if we have nothing else in common, we can always talk about our kids. =p

I was like that as well. I grew up having many male cousins of the same age. So every vacation, everytime we go to my grandparents' farm, me & my other female cousin will end up playing with the boys. Climbing trees, chasing the animals in the farmyard and playing manly games. Until now i still do those stuff. I still play video games with my brother and stepson. hehehehe. But my super attachment to men changed when i was in high school, because my parents enrolled me in an exclusive for girls school. At first i dunno how to mingle with them...but fortunately it all changed. :)

I generally go out with the girls and do girly things. But I also do guy like things, so I'm kind of in between.

I am definately a guys girl! I love to pla video games, play a bit rough here and there. I always had more male friends than female friends. But now that i have been in a relationship for about 8years i use to hang out with my neighbor and also worked with her for the last 5 or 6 years and was able to hang out with the guys and her. But now since she moved i have no one to hang out with due to my guy being jealous of my male friends. We use to share the same guy friends but they end up wanting to hang out with me instead of him and then when they are all out they start to talk about me and he comes home jealous! Me and my guy, dont really hang out! I dont know why but we have yet to go out together just me and him. I think we use to but he use to complain so i think that is why i use to hang out with other guys. I wish i had a gay friend, i bet we would have lots of fun.

I used to have male friends back home and always go out with them, but now my male friends are my husband's friends. When my husband is out with his friends, i go out with my girl friends as well. There are times i go with him & his friends and times where we goes out with me and my girl friends. I think it's important you and your man go out just the two of you. Me & my husband have this fave bar, we go there just the 2 of us, just sit, relax & listen to the live band playing, or just go out have dinner. Always make sure you spend a day together, just you and him and enjoy each others company. Gay friends? hehehehe.. i have 2 gay friends now...and they're so adorable! they're fun to be with.. and the good thing is my husband accepts them as my friends..so no conflict.

i'm both too. my course is majority guys, so i get to hang out with more guys than girls. and i also have very good guy friends from high school and i enjoy hanging out with them too. but i was closer to girls when i was in high school, so i'm pretty much girly too. i think i'm more of a chameleon, i just adapt to whoever i'm with. i can be very boyish, and can be very girly. hehe it's fun.

i am not sure who i am here. all i know is that just like you, i am the only daughter in the family. i have two other younger brothers whom i really love being with. i go out with male friends but only when it's a group thing and when i will be with some girl friends, too. i only go out with guys (just me being the girl in the group) when my boyfriend's with me. if not, i don't. i really think that i am the kind of person who loves to just stay at home when not really in need of going out. i don't like partying and going to so many celebrations. it makes me tired and stresses me out. and when i go shopping, i love to shop alone. ahhh!!! but i am not a loner. maybe i am a mixture of both. or maybe, it depends on the situation. anne

When I was in high school I have a lot of guy friends that girls. I like to be with them less stress I think. They are very vocal in giving their honest opinion. They also pampered you with so much attention like you are their sister. I do go with girlfriends as well but most of the time I enjoy with the male species. They don't gossip at your back.

I'm definitly more of a guys girl! I only have one female friend, and the ones I've had in the past I've lost contact with since we didn't have anything in common. I like hanging out with guys, they're a lot less complicated and easy to spend time with. It might help a little that I was the only girl in my class when I was in elementary school, and that I'm a bit of a tomboy. :D

I think I'm more a guy's girl xD It's funny, because when I was a teenager I went to this School for Young Girls, but as soon as I entered University I found myself surrounded mainly by guys... and really, they are a lot funnier and even smarter sometimes :S which is sad, but I really don't want to spend an afternoon with a lot of girls who just can talk about men, shopping or hot actors on tv...
