Is it weird for me to prefer talking to women over guys? M(20)

Purely in a friendly manner, not looking for a relationship, just friendship or camaraderie; besides, my religion prohibits dating(I'm a Muslim), which is probably a good thing. I've had enough pain in my 20 years of living, though like any straight guy, I do get really happy when an attractive woman acknowledges my existence.

I think the main reason why I'm not comfortable talking to most guys is cause in the past I've been bullied and treated poorly by most men I've met in my life, and the few that were friendly to me I only spoke about Football(soccer) and sometimes Anime with, while women have been the kindest and most helpful people in my life, I'm more comfortable being myself with them, and sharing my emotions and deeper thoughts. There's just something about a woman's presence and voice that puts me at ease and makes me feel like I could tell them anything.

I ofc never approach women; therefore, they rarely approach me, since my looks are mid and I probably don't look very friendly. I've only ever been a comrade with 2 girls since my Elementary school days: 1 in college who ghosted me after a few months, and the other was a wonderful person, but unfortunately I moved away, and she's busy with her own life, so we rarely talk.

I'm starting my phlebotomist program in a few days, so I hope I find some new people to be comrades with, male or female
