Poll: is “guy” gender neutral yet? It is in my part of Northern California but I have accidentally confused people before.

“Guys” (plural) seems to have two meanings:

  • an group of people
  • a group of men

“Guy” (singular) doesn’t seem to be gender neutral, so it seemingly only means “random man.”

So, “you guys” can be gender neutral, but if you’re a guy who dates guys, you’re likely gay, bi, pan, or queer.
