    It’s definitely cultural as well. I’m European and never struggled to make guy friends. I moved to New Zealand which is very British, and I really struggle here. My guy friends are other immigrants from Europe or South America. However, 80 percent of my friends are female. I love them but at times I definitely do miss having more dudes to hang out with.

    Kiwi blokes are super quiet and steer away from serious conversation. It’s really hard here.

      The “boys don’t cry” stereotype may be very British/American.
