Making Guy Friends Without the Sports Drama

Ever try to make guy friends and suddenly everyone assumes you’re the lead in some cheesy rom-com? Trust me, I’ve been there. When I first moved to Seattle, I thought I had to fake a love for soccer just to fit in with the guys. Spoiler alert: I can’t even kick straight. Eventually, I ditched the act and just started showing up to board game nights, talking about my favorite movies and geeking out over comics—no fake interests, no awkwardness. Turns out, real friends don’t care if you can’t score a goal; they care if you’re genuine. If someone can’t handle the real you, maybe they’re not worth the high score. So here’s to friendships, not forced love stories. Who knew being yourself was the ultimate power-up? 🎲😅 #FriendshipGoals #BeYourself #NoDrama
