I'm in the camp of "Having mostly guy friends is fine. When you have to talk about it and when it's because you "don't get along w/ women", then I'm wary".
I have no alternative motive and I still have close girl friends.
I do think it would be fucking bad ass to meet a woman who is low maintenance and likes the same things I do IRL. I just haven't had much luck.
I used to have mostly (not all, but most) male friends, like through HS and college. Then, around my mid-20s it shifted and now my closest friends are women- amazing, funny and they put up with my brand of crazy! AND, my friends are married to awesome guys that I truly enjoy hanging out with, too.
Nope, that was me for the better part of my life. I hate drama, tears, and feelings. I'm more of a direct straight shooter, who doesn't use kid gloves.
I had a small tight knit group of low key girlfriends in high school, and totally stepped out of my comfort zone by joining a sorority in college. However, to this day, I'm way more comfortable around men than women. It's so much easier.
Also this. Feelings make me uncomfortable the majority of the time.

Only if they say things like "I just don't get along with other women! Women are so catty! I love being one of the guys!"
I have far more male friends only because probably 90% of the people I've interacted with for the past 10 years have been men because of my career. I do have a couple close girl friends though.
Nope. I get it. I have one "close" female friend, and she's not even really a close friend. She's just someone I've known for a long time but never see or talk to anymore because she lives so far away.
I am incredibly socially awkward, and more often than not guys are less likely to notice and/or care about my awkwardness. I have a really difficult time making friends, so at this point most of my socializing is with H's friends.
