What's with guys?

Question

I have several guy friends and I have no idea why I even bother emailing them because it's a miracle if I ever get a reply or if they send me some. Or if one of them says he'll call me, he never does. I don't think it's that they don't like me because otherwise they're great friends but why don't they ever reply? I never have problems like this with my girl friends

Answer 1

There's plenty of possiblities and it will always depend on the person, not just guys in general or just girls in general.
I have a few guy friends I chat to daily and a few girl friends I chat to maybe once every few months. Just because the majority leans one way, doesn't make it right to assume it's a "guy thing" or "girl thing".

1.) They're afraid showing you attention will give you the wrong idea that they like you more than friends.
2.) They're not as chatty as your other friends.
3.) They're not online as often as your other friends.
4.) They're not really intersted in being your friend, and are avoiding talking to you.
5.) They do like you as more than a friend and are being a dumbass by being shy.
6.) They accidently (or purposely) deleted your email and/or then forgot (or didn't want) to respond or call.

And the list goes on and on and on... Only way to know for sure is to ask THEM - not us.

Answer 2

I am not sure. If they say they are going to do something they should do it. As far as replies go, I don't know if this is the case for all guys, but I am pretty thrifty with my words. I dislike with a passion those forwarded emails that talk about a cute kitty or something.

Answer 3

boys are different.if you ask them to email you and they don't then they are associates not friends.i would rather have 1 friend than 100 associates.everyone has a formula to them of what they like.you never give the formula to any one.you are allowed to give hints,but never give them your formula.the boy that figures you out on his own will bring you many years of happiness and be there for you.there are a lot of fish out there and YOU have the power.

Answer 4

Are you sure they check their e-mail that often? Do they e-mail back their guy friends? It might just be that they don't feel comfortable e-mailing you. Only one guy that I e-mail e-mails me back. And that's because he likes me! Some guys might be insecure. I really hope this helps you! Just remember that guys are guys and they'll never change. The players may change but the game always stays the same.

Answer 5

Hahahahah! That's a guy for ya! Honey, haven't you figured out by now that men aren't very good communicators? They'd rather not "talk about their feelings" rather you have to figure it out by osmosis and learn to read minds..... I bet they'd reply if you sent them a half naked woman or some ridiculously primal, cynical joke.

Answer 6

Because you are a girl, they want to talk about hot chicks, video games, sports, or cars. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing you talk about none of those things in your emails. Dudes don't want to "talk about their day". And they rarely ever want to talk about their feelings or about anything involving drama or emotions. And Bethany is on to something there too.

Answer 7

It's a guy thing, I'm afraid. Unlike girls, guys are not driven to constantly reinforce their social relationships by spending hours in idle chat with their friends, either on the phone or via email. Here's a brief example.
Girl: "Hi."
Guy: "Hi, what's up?"
Girl: "I'm just ringing to say hi."
Guy: "What?"

Answer 8

I'm not sure but I experience the same thing... must be the mystery of being a man I guess... they don't want to lead on that they really do care but as soon as you loose interest they come knocking your door down.. go figure.

Answer 9

You just got a hold of the young guys. Worthless boys try hooking up with a real gentleman

Answer 10

Men and boys are not big on communication the way we are. Just quit emailing them and just talk to them when you see them. Don't take it personally its just the way men are.
