[Poll] How many boys/girls are too many?

I was watching the most recent episode of Hoshiai no Sora, and I'm rooting for Mitsue-chan! That said, I think she has a lot of guts for crashing the Boy's Tennis Team's BBQ party just because she likes the MC. I definitely don't have that kind of courage to openly stalk the person I like.

Once upon a time, your best friend of the opposite sex invited you to come to their birthday party.

Since it is their birthday (and they are your best friend), you absolutely cannot decline.

Attendance is mandatory! Or else you are a bad friend!

Unfortunately, in this scenario, (pretend) you are a bit of a loner. You do not have any other IRL friends. Your best friend is a popular one, but you do not share any mutual friends. In fact, you barely even know your best friend's friends.

Truthfully, you only moved back to your best friend's city recently.

Your best friend was one of your childhood friends, and you moved away during middle school. However, your relationship was so awesome that you stayed in contact with each other online. For the past 5+ years, your relationship with your best friend has largely been virtual (e.g. social media, Skype, texting, discord, online games). After graduating from high school, you are now back in the area attending a local university.

You were extremely excited to be reunited with your best friend.

Since you don't know anybody in the area, hanging out with your best friend's social group would be a good way to meet people.

The day before your best friend's birthday, you happened to discover some unexpected information.

Your best friend's birthday celebration is going to take place in a Karaoke Parlor in the city.

The itinerary is:

1. Get dinner at a Korean BBQ restaurant
2. Go for Karaoke as a group
3. Go back your friend's place to cake and party (after midnight)

This type of thing isn't that unusual for university students.

However... there is one point that apparently your friend forgot to mention.

All of your friend's friends are the same gender.

You are the only one of your own gender.

Everyone else is the opposite sex.

Going for Karaoke means that you will be in a small enclosed room with a crowd of the opposite sex. A majority of them will be strangers, but in theory your best friend is completely trustworthy. That said, it still feels a little weird to be the only one of your own sex.​

1. Would this make you reconsider going to your friend's birthday party?

2. How many boys/girls in the room would make you feel uncomfortable?

3. What would you do in this situation?

 

I feel uncomfortable leaving my house, let alone socializing.

 

I would feel uncomfortable being stuffed in a small enclosed room with 100+ people no matter what kind of people they were... It'd be hard to even breathe.

 

1. Would this make you reconsider going to your friend's birthday party?
No, I'd go no matter how awkward and shy I'd probably be.

2. How many boys/girls in the room would make you feel uncomfortable?
Only males? I'd be the quietest person there, who'd try to act casual but come off as meek as a mouse. Surprisingly, if it was a crowded place with lots of people, I'd just treat it as walking in a crowded place. Still all males though? I'd stick to my friend like glue.

3. What would you do in this situation?
Go, but make sure my friend knows how nervous I'll be.

 

I'm male


7:31-8:15

 

Honestly that sounds amazing..

i'll ask my BFF the birthday girl to introduce me to a good girl. if she's not interested in me that is. Since she did invite a guy to an all girls party..

 

1. Would this make you reconsider going to your friend's birthday party?
No, but I may not stay for very long.
2. How many boys/girls in the room would make you feel uncomfortable?
From experience 5+ is when you start getting uncomfortable, at least as the only male in the room, but the number can differ depending on the people and whether they make an effort to make you feel included.
3. What would you do in this situation?
Excuse myself when I start feeling uncomfortable.

 

1 No
2 I'll make them uncomfortable talking to me instead.
3 just stay in the corner, with food, talk to whoever that talk to you. Say happy birthday, bring something as souvenirs

 

I've been single for a while now so..... LOOKS LIKE POTATO FOUND HERSELF A HAREEMMMMMM cha cha cha

 

1. Would this make you reconsi-
FREE FOOD!

2. How many boys/girls in the room would make you feel uncomfor-
FREE FOOD!

3. What would you do in this situation?
EAT THE FRIGGING FREE FOOD!

 

1-2 people I don't know is enough to make me unconformable regardless of gender, to be honest. While I would go, I would likely sit tot he side quietly most of the time.

@raitei I believe that's not how most university birthday dinners work. University students are broke and stingy.

 

I've found myself in a few taco fests and i can say in my experience when you're the only guy in a room full of women everyone is looking at you talking about you or talking to you analyzing you interrogating you or touching you and or talking about awkward things trying to make you feel as uncomfortable as possible

 

Situation 4. Being naked in a room full of opposite gender. Now lets see who is a latent exhibitionist

 

1. No.
2. I'm a girl but most of my friends are guys and girls are scary so no problem there.
3. Eat food, hang out with friend, awkward small talk since I'm not social.

 

The only one who gets a free meal is the birthday girl or birthday boy XD

 

N-NO. YOU MUST BE KIDDING. NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

1 Isn't supposed that I cannot reject the invitation?
2 Two. Two already will make me uncomfortable.
3 Hope I can fake drunkness!

Let's make clear that they don't make me uncomfortable because they are girls. It mostly make me uncomfortable because they are stranger to me except for my best friend. Doesn't really matter if they are girls or boys. It's just hard to start a conversation from nothing without feeling forced or awkward. If there are a few people that I knew, I can probably start some conversation without feeling too alienated.

 

If we were talking about having kids, I personally want just 1 of each.

 

I am doggy and I sure as hell dont want to do the papapa with anyone (ฅ`ω´ฅ)

I got neutured.

 

1) I'd think over it a bit, but probably end up going no matter what. Just because I feel a little alienated doesn't mean I should make my friend sad on her birthday.

2) I'd say probably 4 girls would be the point at which I'd start to feel like a bit of an outsider to the conversation. In reality, it depends on what they're like, though.

3) Probably ask my friend if she's sure her friends are okay with me going. If she says yes then I'll just go. It might not even be that awkward and if it is, so what? I can endure awkward situations
