OP here, he has a very submissive mother but three dominating sisters. |

I almost never had male friends growing up. At most one or two at any given time and often times none. I also rarely had any female friends. Basically I was alone and sad. I definitely got along better with girls/women though. And as I got older, I had a much easier time opening up and speaking to women. Even today that's true. I have one single male friend and many female friends. Also, I'm trans and transitioned male to female.
Of course I'm not saying this person is transgender of course. It's possible he just doesn't like any stereotypical male hobbies. It's very difficult for men to find other friends of the same gender if they do not like stereotypical things like sports or cars. Men bond over those types of things. |
| Best male friend from college was like this. Still is, and yes he’s gay. Says he’s bi, but has only been in LTR with men for the past 20 years. |

| Not everyone with with opposite gender roommate is gay or friends with benefits, majority is trying to save on rent by sharing with someone they can tolerate. |
| How would you differentiate if someone is comfortable with his feminine side or is actually on the feminine side? You are unfair if you assume and rude if you ask. |
|
the problem is men are not "allowed" or encouraged to have emotional friendships with other men.
The men who want to share emotions end up with female friends. |
Have you asked his roommates about him? |
If they know you are his GF and are good friends with you, wouldn’t they say something? |
It would be nice if humans were transparent. |
I'm definitely a trans parent. |
I am a heterosexual male who had more female friends than male in my 20's and early 30's (probably 60/40 female/male). I never roomed with any but probably wouldn't have thought twice about it. At the office, I bond equally well with men and women. I don't think it's necessarily a red flag unless you see specific behavior that concerns you. |

| Absentee dads or dominating moms or vice versa can influence friendship choices? |
