I realized recently that outside of my core group of bros which numbers at about 4, I don't have many other guy friends that I regularly hang out with. I've been focused on girls so much that I haven't realized the fact that if I were to throw a bachelor party, my invitation list would be quite short. I have a lot of acquaintances, but few that I'd be comfortable just calling up to hang out on the weekend.

I just find it slightly more difficult to approach guys and ask them to coffee or study together. I find that you make guy friends either through sports or partying, so I've been doing more of both lately.

Anyone else find themselves a bit short on bros sometimes?

What does it matter what gender your friends are?

I don't have many guy friends either, but thats cos guys, as a rule, at my college tend to be complete pricks. The ones I do have are all legends, btw. But yeah. you've got aaaaages til your bachelor party, and you'll have plenty of guy mates by then.

Don't actively go out to make new friends who are specifically guys, cos thats not how friendships tend to work as a rule. Just sort of bumble alongl ike the rest of us, and I'm sure you'll pick up a few more along the way.

Does this mean that you have been focusing on relationships with girls so much that you have completely ignored friendship and are left with 4 guy friends and that's pretty much it, or that you have somehow accumulated a good number of female friends but are left with just a couple of guys?

If you have a good number of friends (and as far as the ones that are die hard friends, always there, 4 is a pretty decent number) but most of them happen to be girls, that's fine.  I agree with dougalmcflurry that it doesn't matter too much what gender your friends are if you haev friends.

Of course if you've just been girlcrazy and ignoring friendship all together, yeah, work on it, but don't go friend hunting or anything just open yourself up socially.

No ... I have more guy friends then I do girl friends, but I do more with the girls where they involve me and my guy friends ... so we all get to hang out and have fun.   It's the best when we have friendships that work 2gether.
