What are the effects of being a single boy in a family of girls?

Answer 1

There's no exact answer to this question but:

# The boy may be a macho jerk: What I mean by this is that since he's the only boy, all the women of the house will call him 'the man of the house' or say 'you have the pants of the house', 'it's your responsibility to make sure your sisters are safe' and so forth. Things like this may subconsciously make a little boy think he's superior to women. # The boy maybe a womanizer: This can be because surrounded by females, he knows what they want, feel and need at a young age. This won't have any effect then, but as a teen or man he'll know how to get the woman he wants and may abuse this knowledge by manipulating women. # The boy may be considerate: Contradicting #2 the boy may not abuse this knowledge and use it as a good thing, like actually finding a good woman by the things he know about the women already at home. # The boy may be a suave masculine man: Meaning he might be very masculine (being the man of the house) and yet with delicacy making him act elegant and respectful, to more easily seduce women. # The boy may be effeminate: this one of the most alarming effects. The boy may copy the female actions making him act like a girl himself. This doesn't have to mean that the boy is homosexual but people may think so. This happened to one of my friends (now 17) who was the youngest child out of a whole house of women. He was effeminate but now he acts masculine and has become a man who respects women and knows how to treat them. # The boy may be anti-social: this is a scream of "I miss you", meaning that the boy misses his father and needs him. Acting antisocial may be caused by this, as he won't socialize with others until he understands that missing spot. # The boy may be extremely annoying: this by the same problem of #6 missing his father. This is just another scream for that: I miss my father and he's the only one that understands me.

These are just some possibilities, but it all depends on the home environment and his personality. Psychologists say that single boys in an environment of all females can act very differently (positive or negative) because of the absence of a male role model (father, older brother, male cousins, uncles, grandfather, etc.).
