I'm in college and amazingly... or sadly... I still don't have any female friends. I admit I'm a little shy around girls so maybe that plays into it. Anyway, is having female friends necessary? I guess I could get by with my guy friends. Am I missing out on anything by not having female friends? If so, what am I missing out on?
I have no female friends and I'm a guy

If you've lasted this long without female friends, then you're doing fine without. No, it's not necessary, just like it's not necessary for us girls to have male friends. It'll be easier for you to find a girlfriend if you're looking for one, but if you're not, then whatever. Friends are friends, doesn't matter if they're male or female. Though, you could be missing out on treacherous shopping trips, and makeover parties. Do you want that?
Just kidding.

My parents told me that if a guy has too much girlfriends or a girl has too much guyfriends, there's supposed to be some kind of a problem with the person, lol.
Relax, we're just programmed to get along better with the same gender.

I don't think there's anything wrong with just having guy friends. I mean,
it's not that hard to get acquainted with a few girls and be friends with
them. To me, a girl and guy friendship isn't that different from a guy/guy
friendship or a girl/girl one. You're not missing out on anything, haha.

you must've possesed some highly densed aura that repels the opposite sex away for not having a "single" female friend till now. But seriously, not a single one?
What is your definition of female friends anyway, a female friend that you hang out often or just a friend that you hang out occasionally but not that close.

Yes, I know it's weird. Well, not necessarily "a single female friend." But the only female friend I've ever had was when I was uhh... 11? She was one of my best friends at that time too. But we lost contact after she moved away.
P.S.: By friends, I mean either a close friend or a casual acquaintance you only hang out with once in awhile.

Due to the popular trend towards gender equality, you're not missing out on much: there are guys that possess stereotypical "feminine" qualities, and girls that possess stereotypically "masculine" qualities.
Note that these categories are only concrete if you think in terms of how society is constructed a couple decades ago.

do you like dudes or something? girls are just as much fun as guys.
are you really nerdy, creepy, or fat? all of these can be important factors.

I don't think he does. Maybe he's like one of those guys that hang with guys all the time?

If your friends have female friends, and you see on of them talking to one of their female friend, just merged in their conversation and befriend her 
.
But idk if you're missing out, since for me, female friends are my support and trust for "girl talk"

Your logic is full of fail. Creepy guys can find creepy girls to hang out with. Fat guys can seek out fat girls to chill with. Nerdy guys can become friends with nerdy girls and talk about anime all day long.
Btw, is this thread in response to the "I have no girl friends and I'm a girl" thread?

Well as a girl, this is my opinion...
Having guy and girl friends are very different. For one, guy friends are those that I spend endless hours doing spontaneous things like playing games, drinking or just going out and having fun ^^ They're also the ones I like to ask for favours because I know they'll never reject me =)
On the other hand... my girl friends are those that are there for me emotionally. They listen to me, allow me to rant when I'm upset and they offer the best advice when I need it. They're there for me whether I want to hang out as a group or one on one.
Of course, there's also the EXCEPTIONS that do both or there's people that do the exact opposite. But this is the general case for my friends ^^'' I think not having one, is like missing a huge part of support in my life because each of them fulfill an important part of being a "friend". It's also because I grew up having both gendered friends lol =P I guess if you got along fine without them till now.. it should be ok
--xoxo.

Oh man welcome to my world! The inverse version. I'm a girl with no guy friends. Well I have a few male acquittance, maybe at most one guy friend that lives far away. But I don't really consider them a friend for reals unless we've hung out for occasions outside of school/work, or talked on the phone, you know. No doubt this has made me a little awkward around the opposite gender. In fact they're like a mystery to me some how. No advice from me cuz I'm in the same boat (college student as well)
