Under the notion "he's not like typical guys he's a girly guy... Meaning he likes being with all the girls and doing the same activitues all the girls are doing and talking about not when with other guys"


Could this guy be seen as special by those ladies? I always wondered what the result would have been if back in college, not with the intent to hook up with any girls, just for the social experience...tried to join an inner circle of all girls as the odd male out

For example, I remember on the quad you would have guys playing frisbee and girls chilling in a separate area getting sun. What if as a guy, boldly sat with the all girls and partook in their conversation about girly stuff. For guys and girls in college today, what is the take on trying something like this?

Let me put it in retrospect
Back in high school, before college, I was at an artsy school with a high female to male ratio. I liked my lunch group which was 3 girls and me.

It wasn't about romantic anything, perhaps at most some side enjoying the encounter...it's some degree of enjoyment at a subconscious level without sexual innuendos

Depends on if you want to be seen as "good" special or "bad" special.

They'd probably assume he's gay. Unfortunately, I see most people assuming 'girly guys' are gay automatically.

let me guess, your mother dressed you in a pink tutu/pants and gave you girly dolls to play with??
and she wailed about gender stereotypes and made you pee sitting down??

but I like your strategy ...
be the gay friend, non threatening....
then they may ask you to go out with them

Seems like pretty good strategy to me.

Only if by "special" you mean "gay"

I used to often hang around girls, and it's one of the reasons some people thought I was gay or bi (not that some people don't still, partly due to my effeminate appearance). Not that other guys didn't also sometimes, but they tended to do so in groups. I sometimes got teased by male friends (and even acquaintances & strangers) when I was the only guy hanging around girls I wasn't dating and when my male friends were going somewhere without our female friends and I stayed with the girls.

Imo, I think it's much better for hetero & bi guys to hang out with girls if they're looking for dates than it is for asexual guys (such as myself) and gay guys to hang out with them because the propinquity effect causes more than friendship attractions. It's why I no longer get too close in friendships with hetero & bi females nor gay & bi males.

What do you think girls sit around and talk about that is specifically "girly stuff"? Tampons, eyeshadow, and tu-tus? My friends and I were likely talking about an interesting class, a TV show we liked, problems with someone, etc. Conversations that any gender would have, really.

You would have been seen as their gay buddy. They would have loved you, but none would have dated you.
