100% Female Course - How to make male friends?

LegacyUser

Basically the title says it all!

I'm sitting my LC this year and got my mock results back and I'm definitely on track for the course I want to do. The only problem is that I know that its mainly girls in the course... there may be one or two guys but Human Nutrition doesn't tend to attract guys I would say.

I haven't got any male friends at the moment, going to an all girls school and Im not exactly the biggest 'party animal', Id much prefer a night in with my friends, means that I haven't made any male friends at all.

Will this be a problem in college? I really want to make friends with guys and kind of branch out a bit I guess... but how do I do it?

Advice would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks

Easy get involved in some of the club and socs in the college.
There should be a clubs and soc's fair when college starts and you can go see what interests you.

yes club and societies are your best bet.. you'll practically meet any random type of person..

otherwise the whole friend of a friend introduction will work just as well

Wouldn't imagine that human nutrition would be entirely female I might be way off but I'd imagine that it would attract fitness heads.

Aside from that, relax. It'll happen whether you join clubs and socs or not. Friends have friends

It will be mainly girls. The odd fitness head who can get the grades to get into the course often drop out. There might be one or two lads - a few more tend to go for it now.

However, you'll still have no bother making a ton of friends. Do join a couple of socs/clubs. Even if you're not majorly into the activity, you'll meet tons of other freshers and there's no commitment to keep going. Also, plenty of the girls in your class will have male friends from home/male roomies - you'll make mates!

And there are major advantages to a girly course - you'll make some really close friends, guaranteed! Good luck and enjoy!

Fret not,

I was the opposite to you, I did a predominately mens course in college and met loads of girls through the social clubs and sports clubs. As in friends, i'm not gay:).

Are you just nervous of guys because you have little experience of them, if so, it'll come naturally, believe me, I was the shyest one in the class by far and learnt my way around the opposite sex, and that was in a time of no mobile phones, facebook or internet, it's what your late teens, early 20s are for.

You'll have a great time.

While the course might be mostly females, I'm assuming the whole college won't be. You'll meet male friends no problem!

What's wrong with having only female friends, OP?

I think it's obvious why somebody wouldn't just want to have friends of one gender. Not necessarily for romantic reasons, but because it's only normal and healthy to want to interact and know both men and women.

You are completely overthinking this, OP.

No course is 100 per cent female or male. You hear all sorts of stupid myths about certain courses that just aren't true - Human Nutrition is entirely female except for one or two guys?! No way on earth is that true, unless your course has only a couple of people on it (in which case you'll be mingling a lot with other people from other courses anyway).

You will meet tons of new people in college, people who aren't on your course, friends of friends, etc., male and female.

Don't worry about it.

Just have to say Im doing human nutrition and its is almost entirely girls. There is only 1 or 2 lads that do it per year out of a class of 25. Deffo join socs you will meet people there! I know you said you dont like going out but the nutrition soc often team up with the engineering soc(all guys) for nights out and stuff so its all good....enjoy!
