I've hypothesized that it is easier for me to talk to girls rather than guys because I feel the need to be 'masculine' around guys, whereas this need is negated or diminished in the presence of females. This is what I feel, but there are definitely other factors. BUT...

The point of this thread is to tell you what I think, having been in the presence of all kinds of girls. You really just need to be yourself, I can't say it in any other way. They don't look for you to act masculine or act the same way you do to impress guys, which I suppose was the reason as to why it was easier for me to talk to girls than guys (though I would rather I could talk to anyone).

Hm. But now, I would like to request your aid... Any tips on how to talk to guys? :s
