Personally, I think it’s a lazy friend thing, cause I learned the hard way that sometimes you are the initiator for your friend group.

I have the same issue and that’s why I don’t have many guy friends anymore

That is an issue of quality of friend, not necessarily an issue of guy friends. Also, if you do not feel like you get along well enough with guys to be close friends, you can always just remain mutuals/less close friends unless you particularly want guy friends for whatever reason.

i feel like it’s super common with guys tho. the thing is, we can have good conversations when we do talk and we have fun when we hang out, but i’m always the one to initiate hang outs. and this dynamic feels wayyyy more common with men than women for me. i’m trying to be more open to being cordial with men because i haven’t had many good experiences with them, but unfortunately my interactions don’t challenge my beliefs
