| | | Just treat them like you would any other friend really, unless you're involved in which case you do exactly the opposite.

| | | Most guys like when you just hang with 'em without a lot of ado. Try acting the same with guys as you do with girls, the results may be surprising. | | The Following User Says Thank You to Mr. Potatohead For This Useful Post: | |

| | | Here are some topics that you can never go wrong with when talking to guys:
Sports
Weapons
Movies
Video Games
Science
Hot celebrities
I guarantee you that every guy has something to say on at least one of these topics. A good way to slip into the discussion is something like.
"Hey, did you guys see that show over <insert topic> the other night?"
If they did, they'll have some form of response to it. If not, they'll want to know about it. You really don't need to by shy around guys. I guess it's been about three or four weeks since one of my friends ate someone... | | The Following User Says Thank You to BlackZero For This Useful Post: | |

| | | The thing about guys though is; they DO bite. They have venomous fangs that inject porno poison, that makes you deaf, dumb, and blonde. I mean; blind!
The only thing you need to know is; talk slower. Say less. Guys aren't airheads that don't think. They're quiet a lot because they keep their thoughts in their heads, wereas girls ''say'' everything they think. Guy conversations have a lot of periods of silence that to a girl would seem odd. But the guys aren't uncomfortable; they're both off thinking and reflecting on life. And when one of them starts talking again; the conversation continues. If you can find harmony between that and your girlyness; you be cool grasshopper. Lesson over.

| | | c.andrew speaks truth. And blackzero speaks truth too; in general, guys talk of different things than girls. No sh!t Sherlock, you might say, but it's not something you should forget. Guys talk more about violence and sports and sex, and they generally make far cruder/crueler jokes, often violent, racist or sexual (or at least, they often are between me and my friends). Now, I don't know what women talk about in general, really, but I'm guessing relations, gossiping and stuff like fashion. Or something. Dunno really.
Just remember guys talk about different things. | | The Following User Says Thank You to Slash For This Useful Post: | |

Just remember guys talk about different things. | I wouldn't go quite that far (at least where I live). Sure, we are a little less refined than females, but guys also have some very deep intelligent discussions too. We aren't as interested in town gossip, though, unless we have a bet going on how long a couple stay together. | | The Following User Says Thank You to BlackZero For This Useful Post: | |

| | | I think really it depends on who you're talking to, however I think we're talking about the average bloke and lady. | | The Following User Says Thank You to Mental For This Useful Post: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
