Is it true that only girls will use うち to refer to themselves?

So when a guy say うち he is referring to his in-group / company / family, and
not referring to himself, right?




うち is mostly used by girls to refer to themselves, but this usage is only
common in Kansai-ben and perhaps other regional dialects as well, and it is
generally not considered to be part of standard Japanese. See

So to answer your question, yes if a guy says うち, he is probably most likely
referring to his family. (Assuming he is speaking standard Japanese, usage in
regional dialects may vary, but I know in Kansai-ben it is generally used only
by females)
