Difficulty making hetero male friends?

[JDeclan99]

It's not really about them being traditional. I have friends from all walks of life, sexuality, color, and gender, however, as a straight man I'd like a little more companionship with other straight men. There are certain topics I can't really breach with my gay male friends or my hetero/homo female friends, just like there are only certain conversations or experiences that I can share with my transgender brothers and sisters.

Let me clarify that I don't feel like this is an outstanding problem, I have great people in my life and don't feel like having a straight male friend or not will change my life too much. I believe that variety is the spice of life and I'd just like to see what that friendship would be like. I haven't been close friends with another dude in 10 years and have done a lot of growing since then.

Anyway, I really appreciate all the suggestions and hopefully I'll meet a dude that I click with soon

I met my closest friend (a straight cis guy) at a Japanese class in my community college. A lot of straight guys I've gotten along with I've met through college classes, get-togethers and GSAs. Though I could be biased because most of my social life has been through college.

What I'd like to know is where all the cute effeminate guys are, and if any of them are into nerdy trans boys.

Really man, you just gotta be you, and some people will like you for who you are, I got a lot of friends but all my guy friends are straight. I mean I am in highschool and I am a class clown sp of course my sense of humor draws people to me. Or having similar interest like me and one of my homies were freestyling at my homecoming and dance and from there we just click and then I met alot of my other boys who are friends with him, were all straight guys.

Well in my experience (I'm an MTF obviously so YMMV) I made friends with guys with common interests. Shooting, electronics, cars. This is actually a radical departure from how I used to make friends (with mostly women) by going clubbing. I figured I'd try the typical guy way. That can work.
