I go out every weekend. When I go out I travel with 2 girl friends and about 6/8 guy friends. I am newly single and it seems like this situation is prohibiting me from meeting new guys.
So, I wanted to ask...if single men see a girl with a group of male friends, will this discourage them from approaching?
I'm not against approaching myself, but it seems more difficult when I'm out with a rowdy group of guys. Other men seem to automatically distance themselves.
As a woman with a lot of guy friends... no, men won't approach you. At least I've never had a man approach me when I was out with guy friends. I think maybe they figure one of the guys in the group is your boyfriend/significant other/etc.
I think it may give you the advantage of aproaching a man you may be interested in. You have the security of a bunch of guys so you can be more free to approach. I would be apprehensive in approaching a woman who was with a group of guys, but if she struck up a conversation with me I would have no problems once I knew where she stood.
lol frog. Op, i think that if you are out with several guy friends, the assumption from other guys in the surroundings would likely be that one of the guys is your BF and they would be much less likely to approach. Youd be better off going out wiht your girlfriends and even better off going out by yourself (even though i realize that you or 99% of women wont for silly reasons).

Of course. Guys have a hard enough time approaching a woman who's with a group of women. Or even when a woman is alone. Why would they approach a woman who's with a bunch of guys? They'd assume she's the gf of one of the guys.

If I have to approach a group, I'd rather it be a group of women. Approaching a woman is hard enough without your rowdy guy friends making things even more difficult. I have done this before and more often than not, the guy friends will turn on you and now not only do you have to impress the girl, you have to appease all her friends. If you do get approached, be prepared for him to be one of those thick skinned PUAs who is using you for his field training videos on youtube.

I think what Ascension says (about going out alone) is best. Guys seem to talk to me more when I am alone. But there are drawbacks which I don't think are silly including personal safety (like if the night's over and you end up walking back to your car alone at night) and it really sucks if you don't meet or talk to anyone (things get pretty boring and lonely sitting by yourself).
Agree, I have done the go out alone thing and have gotten myself into some dicey situations.
All of my girl friends have bf's. I am the only singe women in our group. Hence, when we go out it is always with their boyfriends and their boyfriends male friends.
