So my whole life I’ve struggled to make guy friends, I’ve tried everything, but men are just rude to me, I have to go out of my way and be way too nice to just be spoken to with short one-word replies. Yet other girls have no issue.

What type of guys are you making friends with. Also guy friendships or at least groups tend to differ from women’s in a few ways

Guy friendships are by nature far more low-maintenance. What you consider rude is just the default for most guys, because they don’t want to put a bunch of effort into just maintaining a friendship, and in return they don’t take much effort to maintain with. The average guy friendship consists of not speaking for months, one night of “Hey, beer?”, and everyone leaving on good terms

In my new job the guys ignore me. It’s so weird. I’ve tried all types of approaches throughout my life, but it’s like there’s something about me that men just don’t like…

None cause men literally ignore me, like I’ll approach a guy and ask him about his weekend and he’ll say “it was good” and will ask no follow-up questions or offer more info, and then he’ll turn around and start yapping with another girl.

this exactly. I can talk around and joke around with guys about the most random of shit and it takes no effort. it usually is simply not the same with women, even though it can be. I literally dont have a more meaningful response to how my weekend went other than “it was good” cause I rarely go shopping or do things that would actually be worth talking abt. most guys are pretty basic, almost too basic sometimes. what #3 said is spot on.

Right but they don’t ask like that towards other girls though, they talk and joke around, and then give me dry answers. I’ll be in a room with my friends and they’ll come in and only talk to her, if I include myself they’ll be dry. And I’m only being friendly, so my looks shouldn’t matter in this case

what specifically do they talk about with other girls? theres like a million reasons this specific group of dudes may not like you. or maybe they get awkward around you? cant make everyone happy either

What they did last weekend, but when I asked they said “nothing”, or how they like to play Minecraft (I like to play Minecraft too but they asked other girls and not me, and when I said I did, they just said, “cool”)
