Is it really true that guys don't think females make good friends?

My male friends treat me well, but I've always noticed they seem to have much more fun with each other than they have with me. And it's not just with me, other girls have noticed that too.
>>
You will never be a guy. And they will never love you the way they love their fellow brothers. It's a guy thing.
>>
You're boring. Like most girls. Not too hard to figure out. Only boring people enjoy the company of other boring people.
>>
3 types of friendship: girl - girl, boy- girl, boy - boy.
And if you take a close look: They are all different.
>>

also if you don't grant them the access to your vagina there is no need for you to be around

>>4044206 (OP)
You are boring. But that's not it, either, I have a female friend that is now dating my best friend and she's honestly really funny and fun to be around. She is selfless at times and will help me out. She will play video games with me and we'll have fun. We'll go drinking and we'll talk a long time, she helps me with my problems and I help her with her problems.

She will never be a good a friend as my bro's, though. Definitely not since she started fucking my best bro. That's just weird. And it always comes down to someone fucking that girl sooner or later, ALWAYS.

Evidently I'll stomp her, but we make a thing that if she manages to score one time in Fifa or kill me one time in another game, that she wins.

She never does huehuehuheue. It's funny as shit to be dribbling a ball around your own goal and her being incapable of scoring. Or that mini-heartattack where she almost kills me and then fails completely.

It's pretty fun. But it doesnt compare to the competition and rivalry I have with my friends while we call each other a faggot while trying to one-up each other at everything we do.

Oh, as expected. Wew you almost scared the shit out of me for a moment there.

I don't generally make friends with females because I barely understand them and they don't share my interests most of the time. That and if you're too friendly they can assume you're into them.
>>
>>4044306
Fifa is fun as fuck. You can make any casual game into a hardcore one, man. Just play it enough.
>>
>>4044313
Yeah, that's one of the bigger problems. Girls are more into relationship shit. Most of them can't even spend 5 minutes without creating a match-up.
>>
>>4044206 (OP)
Yup. Only good female friends I've had were also my girlfriends. Platonic female friends < male friends.

Simply put there are just things you wouldn't expect to talk to girls about, like other girls/fart jokes/video games/sports etc.

Plus if you're both even moderately attractive then there's probably going to be some sexual tension there even if it's just on his part. You can never be completely relaxed around women because there's always that tension, the chance that maybe you'll become fuck buddies or more than friends. With men that's just assumed to not be the case so you don't care how gross you are around them because it's just what guys do.
>>
>>4044316
Huh? I never said this Fifa game wasn't challenging, please do not misunderstand.
>>
I have some guy friends who we joke around and talk like bros. we get drunk together and shit, but I definitely see a difference in the way we hang out together and the way they and their bro friends hang out together. I guess I'm like one step up from being a friend with a vagina, but it still sucks.
Girls are boring.
>>

>fart jokes
Are you 12?
>>
To be completely honest women are fucking boring.

I am not a misogynist at all it's just a fact that chicks aren't very interesting unless you're balls deep into them.

If you are in a group of friends with dudes that aren't white knights there will still be a strain on the group as a whole because of you gender.

Sorry but it's just the way things are.

All you have to do is not be a bitch. Don't get too offended by anything, make rude jokes, and so on.
Most women are defensive about the way they look and act, which is why they are so prude and boring.
>>
Men are generally encouraged to be assertive, pro-active, creative, confident in order to be attractive
Females are generally encouraged to be submissive, passive, compliant and non-confrontational in order to be attractive

Guess which behaviour makes for the most fun, exciting, dynamic and best tried-and-tested friendships?

Develop your character, ambitions and do something with your life and maybe guys will want to do something with you besides fucking.

I don't even know. I was friends with this awesome, nice guy. We liked the same crap, got a long well ect. Then all of a sudden he stops talking to me. He's still friends with all his asshole friends and girls that treat him like crap or a piece of meat. Why can't I hold all these feels.

>implying females don't play that part whenever it suits their needs and go "lolimagirl I can't do this help plz guise :3" whenever things get even remotely though

They make shitty friends because they hold themselves to shitty standards.
>>
I find some of my best and worst friends are female. A good female friend can offer me the caring, thoughtful opinions and input that my bros can't provide. However, a poor female friend is a shitty listener who wants only to regale me with mundane shit about nothing and be "omgsorandumXD" which is embarrassing. Depends on the maturity of your ladybro.
>>
College is my only social life and in the last semesters my only friends were girls because my bros were in different classes, but this semester I'm having classes with my male friends again and it SO MUCH better than being around girls. Now everytime I one of my girl friends show up when I'm hanging out with my male friends I think "well shit, there goes the fun"
>>
>>4044462
But he was friendzoned. History repeats, while females keep wondering why.
>>
I hate how my female friends won't let me just be. If I'm not constantly talking or constantly being entertaining, they complain. I can't be myself around my female friends.

If I'm talking to my bro, I can be quiet for an hour and it's just what happens, no worries. I don't have to be entertaining, I can just relax and be me. I've never been able to do that with my female friends. Plus I've always wanted to fuck all my female friends and that makes things awkward.

I've been getting to the point where I've been replacing my female friends with male friends and it's making a world of difference.

What if the girl is lesbian? I would assume it works better because you know 100% you're not going to fuck her (just like with guys) so there's no tension. Or does it not work that way?
>>
>>4044536
Even if it's a lesbian it's not the same. A guy can want to fuck a lesbian too.

And it's not just "wanting to fuck" them, it's that girls are just different.
>>
I feel really uncomfortable and (to be honest) bored around girls I'm not fucking. If she's even half-way cute I don't like having to stifle my sex drive or pretend I don't wanna bang the snot out of her, and even if I just lay it out in the open all the veiled ribaldry and sarcasm starts to get old fast.

When a girl isn't into you sexually she tends to be dull, artificial and just kind of a pain and a waste of time to be around. No thanke.
>>
>>4044304
>>4044215
Jesus Christ I relate so much to this.

I used to know this one girl who would always make out like we were amazing friends. In reality she was boring to the point of making me cry, vicious, batshit insane enough to take her scorn out on me when no one else was around to absorb the poison and everything she said would leave me fucking cold.

Girls, I'm sorry, but you make awful friends. Get this through your head now - the only reason, the ONLY reason (most) men put up with you is because they are ruled by their cocks and their biology and they want to slam the shit out of you. That's IT. You can't have decent conversations although in your mind you think you're having one, you're not funny although in your mind you think you are and you can't relate to anything about men because you're barely a human being beneath that seething highly textured with greed, jealousy and lunacy facade of a soul.

Please just stick to shoe shopping and basing your life around hating other people, especially other women. Don't try to be "one of the bros" or some dude's friend, I think I have enough experience at this point in my life to say you absolutely STINK at it, always expecting other people to bring the fun to you and sitting around waiting to take your day out on someone else. Just fuck off.

Women start drama, and can break friendships between bros.
That is why having female friends around just complicates everything.
>>
>>4044532

Yeah, this too. It's fun entertaining a girl and making her laugh for a while but you can tell she starts to resent you the moment you're not being a little jester monkey.

I never get that vibe from guys and it's just a lot more comfortable to be around them. And this is coming from someone who finds most dudes puerile and annoying a lot of the time.
>>
I don't know how to describe it exactly, but women somehow think differently than men. There are women with whom I am platonic friends, but conversing with them isn't as easy or natural as it is with men. It makes platonic connectivity more difficult.

It doesn't mean that I don't like them- I do. But there always seems to be a barrier.
>>
Guy friends usually want to fuck you so that can but a limit on how close of a friendship you can have. I know my best male friend wants me badly and it's sort of awkward.
>>
>>4044604

It's because it isn't natural, as much as girls (and some idealistic dudes) might hate it, the fact of the matter is that we're sexually dimorphic for the purpose of boning one another.

When you have to intentionally stifle or drown out that glaringly obvious aspect of a relationship between the two of you, it becomes the unspoken elephant in the room and hangs this constant air of tenseness over everything.
>>
It's not so much that they don't make good friends. Most of them try very hard and are sincere about their friendships with men, but we just don't have much in common with you. The things you choose to concern yourself with, your hobbies, your forms of entertainment. It just doesn't interest us. It all just seems inane.
>>
>>4044604
Yes there's this "barrier"

Even if the girl is a disgusting porker I'd never want to fuck I still can't get close to her like I am to my bros.
>>
>>4044625

You can't even really share your hobbies or your interests with girls. I've known girls who loudly told me (and I'm sure they even believed it themselves) that they were fans of [x], and when it came to chatting about it they had exactly jack squat to contribute and either tried to change the topic or fast expressed their boredom.

Just a huge waste of time really.
>>
I have a guy friend that I discuss comics, movies, animation, and vidya with all the time. We go out and get coffee together and give each other shit all the time.
He friendzoned me because he's still in love with his ex
I've come to terms with this and would rather be in the brozone than to not know him or hang out with him at all.
>>
Some of the coolest people and best friends I have had have been girls. But, and it is a big but, (I cannot lie) these girls have all been bro-like a.k.a chilled out, causing no drama, and being comfortable being disgusting (farting, talking about disgusting shit etc). In general girls like this do not make girlfriend material imo.

The rest of the girls I have known are generally boring but attractive. As such I tend to walk on eggshells around them and suppress parts of my personality. It just so happens that these parts are the most bro-like and the most fun parts of my personality. This type of girl is often stuck up and takes offence easily. Overall this type of person can only be described as anti-bro.

TLDR: girls can be good friends, so long as they act like men and don't expect relationships.

I have two examples of meaningful female friendships here for you guys. Girls are different than guys, you should all make friends with one to become a more well-rounded person.
>>
Females expect you to provide a good time, doing stuff a generally planning everything out in order to stay friends for a longer time
Males just hang out even if it's boring sometimes. They consider what they're capable of doing with the stuff that is provided and create ideas with it that they both like.

Maybe it's just the other way around with a girl-girl friendship, who knows?
>>
>>4044654
>I've known girls who loudly told me (and I'm sure they even believed it themselves) that they were fans of [x], and when it came to chatting about it they had exactly jack squat to contribute and either tried to change the topic or fast expressed their boredom.
I know that feel.

I know this girl who says she's a huge nerd and anime fan, but everytime I try to talk to her about it I get disappointed. I even got her some anime for her to watch and she never did, and it was the sort of anime she says she likes the most.

Now with my male friends we can talk about anime for hours and we recommend shows to each other and everything goes well.
>>
>>4044683
I'm friends with several of them, male friendships are still much better.

I will indulge people with friendships if that is what they seek, and gender is not an issue seeing I do not wish to purse a relationship.

I usually hang out with girls though.
>>
The only think that I can say is that conversations with females are way more boring than conversations with males.
Even if I don't really know a guy, I can still talk to him and figure out our interests so we can chat about that a bit. With a females it is much harder to talk about anything at all, they answer with short "complete" sentences that doesn't provide you a chance to keep up a convo
>>
>>4044724
Oh man, the complete sentences. I always act uninterested and instantly start talking with someone else when that happens. They mostly panic and try to hold the convo back together.
>>
Females don't put much effort on conversations, specially if you're the sort of guy she wouldn't date because she doesn't want you to think you have a chance.
>>
Why are females so fixed on the objective of dating? Why is that their main thing?
>>
>>4044685
i dont see this with my female friends, generally we try to plan how were going to feed ourselves, share some music, catch up a bit, and walk around or play vidya or color.

Maybe
Maybe I am expecting a fun evening/night/whatever and all I got was me throwing some ideas around while I got some whacky half-assed responses that 'That doesn't sound fun'.

That stuff doesn't happen in a male friendship, you figure out what you can do and just do it for the sake of testing out if it would be fun
>>
>>4044767

His whole point is that being her "friend" is worthless since girls only really see you as valuable if you're sexually attractive.

>>
Hanging out with a female friend is just not the same as hanging out with a real bro.

First, beetween bros we can have talks that would be absolutely awkwards with a girl, you know, bros things. The last time I saw one of a bro's female friend trying to fit in, she just was talking trash and sex and it just wouldn't feel the same.
Also we can be total assholes-like while playing games. It's just about crushing your friend with perfect scores and perfect taunts and perfect SSS-RANK shit, and somehow each time you try that with a female she'll show some sort of ressentment towards you or just say at some point : "Ok stop, this is annoying, let us do something else."

Eventually, if we want to hang out seriously while talking serious stuff, a female would be ok. Otherwise, I'm sorry but they just can't take it easy.

>>
>tfw i never had a female friend

>>
>>4044206 (OP)
A few reasons.

1. Girls tend to be more sensitive than guys. Women don't like talking shit openly. They're nice to friends (but often don't mean it) whereas we guys like to be rude to friends (but don't really mean it). The banter doesn't work so good. And the problem is that if we use banter on you it comes off as flirting, which leads me into #2...

2. There's always a certain subcurrent of romantic or at least sexual interest. Maybe we don't have an actual crush on you, but we'd still have sex with you if you were willing, and we're also usually open to the idea of transitioning from friendship to relationship. This creates a bit of an uneven way of seeing each other since girls generally don't consider their male friends potential sexual partners, while guys do see their female friends that way.

3. Girls tend not to have interests as focused and in-depth on things as guys do. Men get really into stuff, when we like something, we can get pretty obsessive. Especially us guys on the autism spectrum, we get really into things. Women on the other hand may like something, but they tend not to get into it so much, they're more interested in people.

4. Sort of related to #1, but when a bunch of guys get together, we're really relaxed and we do our thing. When a woman is present we feel like we have to watch our behavior because we don't know how much of the stuff we do she's ok with. Related to #2, it can create tension between guys, especially if one or more of them is interested in one of the girls present. That's why men like their men-exclusive activities, it's an opportunity to just bond with each other without worrying about drama.

I guess it's those four things, mainly.
>>
My male friends just treat me like one of them. And I treat them like they treat each other.

So I guess it really depends.

It's true. Deal with it, feminist. There's a reason men don't complain about hurt feelings (in public, anyways) while women do.
>>
>>4044206 (OP)
I never really had much more than girl friends.
I was always an outcast in the school among the males so I always hung out with girls. I blame my odd thoughts and ways of thinking on it. I really do have to work hard to have "fun" with my male friends. They really offer me much in the way of free time but I just cant have fun on the spot with 'em.

LOL haven't you ever stepped outside? Men are the biggest whingers out there. Seriously.
>>
There is a reason why it is called "brotherhood".
It's a deep bound between men which consists of trust and loyality. Chivalry.
The friendship between a man and a woman will never be the same as between two men,
simply because it isn't influenced by love or affectionate feelings.
You know, love is blind. Even if the guy doesn't love the woman,
he will see her with different eyes just because we're all humans and want to procreate.
Also guys don't see themselves as rivals. We don't tell each other how beautiful we look today.
Women do. There will always be a kind of competition in a girl-girl friendship because of this.
Feels good to be a man.
Women, you'll never know what unconditional friendship feels like. I'm sorry.

Most guys would think girls make bad friends because their friendships consisted of the guy wanting to fuck the girl and the girl friendzoning him.

I think girls make great friends, even better friends than guys on average. But a guy and girl can never have the level of bro-tier relationship two guys can have.

Women are not better at being ice cold than men, it's simply because there's a much bigger contrast between being ice cold and normally caring that it stands out more. Since you don't expect men to generally care as much it's not as much of a contrast between their regular behaviour and being ice cold, so you think they're not as good at it.

I'm male and most of my friends are female. I just find them fun and nice to be around.

I'm a male who has never had a girl who was just a friend. I like the idea of it. I imagine it to be kind of like having a sister but it's okay if there's a little sexual tension there because you're not related, and it's also okay if the sexual feeling isn't reciprocated because you're friends.

It's not so much that women make bad friends, it's just that being friends with a woman has a pretty high chance of evolving into something bad.

My best friend was a girl, and I've never met anyone cooler.
Had to break it off though, because feelings came in the way. Still miss her.

you hit the nail on the dick, man. When I'm hangin with girls I always gotta be "on" or else shit gets boring and quiet. they'll start sitting their silently because they can't talk about their girl stuff around me and it almost feels like they expect me to say something to continue the convo. with dudes I can just sit there and not even give half a fuck.

it's a little better, but not by much.

I have a mostly lesbian friend who likes to pretend to flirt with me. I didn't feel like putting in the time to bone her.

if they're full lesbian (Ive never known a full lesbian girl as a friend) then I assume it would be better. bi and it's just as annoying.
>>
My sister's best friend is a guy, supposedly they got over any of the related issues years and years ago. They've been best friends for 6-7 years and they live together since she needed a new roommate after her old one split on her. They're more like bros than anything, they just watch movies and play vidya all day when they don't have school/work.

I found it a bit weird once when the guy mentioned another person (actually, another girl) as his 'best friend at college' and my sister acted almost offended to ever not be considered his best friend, even though the other girl was someone he had classes with and was his neighbour back then, so you could see why they might be good friends. He's a pretty normal guy too, relationships are just weird as fuck.

Men and women cannot be friends. I'm a woman. I only like to have female friend.

Once upon a time, I used to be somebody who thought "LOL I DON'T SEE GENDER I SEE PEOPLE xD" and tried to befriend everybody regardless if they were male or female. It worked... for a little while. Sure, I had some women who hated my guts because of their own jealousy and shit, but I also had trouble in paradise when it came to my male friends. They ALL WANTED ME. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. THIS IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION; EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY PAST MALE FRIENDS WANTED SOMETHING MORE. And when I made it clear, directly or indirectly, that nothing was going to change, guess what? They would blow up at me, I would be hurt and confused, and then we would stop talking. Rinse and repeat.

Finally, I said, enough was enough, and I'm going to stick with just making female friends. I have told this to other women, that men and women can rarely (if ever) be just friends, and all of them would scoff and insinuate that their male friends don't think about them in that way at all. I don't fight with them and let them enjoy their blissful ignorance. They'll learn on their own, after all.

Don't knock down every single woman you come across. Yes, a good number of them suck balls, but you'll come to find a few gems. I've found one and yes, sometimes she gets emotional, but she is honest and sticks to her word. She works hard and she loves to make others happy. I would rather be with female friends and have deal with their emotional up and downs, than have male friends and every single one of them have a hidden agenda that would make my parents blush furiously at such thoughts.

I hope this post illuminates your confusion on this subject.

I love how everyone here is pointing out that it's impossible to have a totally platonic male friendship.
I had a big group of friends, which was 4 of us girls and 4 guys on average, give or take a couple other dudes, there were two couples in the group before any of us became friends, and me and the other girl were totally platonic in every way possible with the other guys.

Because some people in the world have other priorities but sex -- and whether you like it or not, anons, "biological programming or not", they were better people.
Our group would have fallen apart if the guys prioritized sex and relationships.

It was the perfect friend group...
So perfect...

There's nothing you can do about it except becoming really unattractive, and you know that's not a fair trade when all you want is a simple platonic friendship with others.

You're better off just hanging with the girls. There are good ones out there, you just have to keep that heart open.

Try having 40+ different cases and come back to me, muchacho.

>You are trying to speak on the behalf of billions of people

It's not just my experiences with other men. I've observed this in other people too. When I see a man and a woman talking and being "buddy buddies" I can see the hope in the man's eyes that one day, just one day, she'll take him into his arms. Except she won't.

And in the rare case that the man doesn't like the woman, sooner or later the woman is going to wonder why he isn't so affected by her looks just like with the other adoring men she has to deal with on a daily basis. Combine that with the jealousy she will feel when she sees him dating another woman, and you'll have the case of the "foreveralonegirl ;_;" bullshit.

The problem with women is that they date/fuck completely different men to those that they pursue friendships with. What they don't realise is that this simply doesn't work.

When you're willing to fuck the alpha type men to no end, yet still come crawling back to the beta types for platonic relationships, you expose yourself as the shallow slut you are.

If you want to whore yourself out to alphas, don't act like you can reasonably be friends with betas. You can't have both, I'm afraid.

Sure, why not? It's not like I want you to hate men or anything, but just realize that they're MEN with different ways of doing things than you will. Recognize and appreciate the differences, but don't get too close unless you desire a romantic partner.

If you want to find interesting women to befriend, go beyond the old advice of "derp college herp work" because there's too many women in those two places to find good ones. Join a club that caters to your own interests, and you'll bump into other girls who enjoy the same said interests. Then you girls can go from there.

Yeah, it's called being a hot chick. Do you want a cookie, Mr. Nye?

Hell, you don't even have to be a hot chick to have this problem; just get a vagina and you'll see what I mean. All of these guys come from many different backgrounds, different statuses (Single, taken, married, etc.), different ages, and so on. And yet, one way or another, they would confess that there's something delightful about me that they want to take it towards the extra mile. Then I would lol and die a little on the inside.

This isn't some magic trick. It's biology. Men love pussy, unless they're gay of course. What do I have? A pussy. By that logic, they will always want more unless I resemble a pile of crap. And why would I want to inspire to appear anything as close to that just to have a platonic relationship with another man?

But hey, keep at it if it makes you happy. The rest of us know what's up.
>>

Admittedly yes, I do.

The difference being here is that I don't specifically pursue those girls I find unattractive and string them along into entirely platonic relationships for no reason. Whereas the vast majority of women would quite eagerly do this with men.

I'm a normalfag, and have plenty of female and male friends

my female friends are easily the most drama oriented, selfish, pretentious fucks ever. they can't take jokes at all, and they certainly don't share any if at all of my hobbies. and heaven forbid if i cancel plans on them because my house is on fire or something, they still manage to make it all about them

another problem, is the girls who give you all the signs of being interested, then being defensive, and even angry when you make a move. then getting even more mad when you tell them to quit that shit.

and when they aren't any of these things? then they nag the SHIT out of you, holy fuck, if i wanted to be nagged, i'd give my mother a call

nope. more likely, the type of man who gets into friendships with women will either ignore flirting (oh, she's just being friendly etc) and not reciprocate until the pattern continues for a long time, at which point he develops doomed feelings for her.

See this is why no one takes women's grievances seriously. Here we have a thread of both men and women civilly discussion the difficulties of heterosexual platonic relationships between men and women, and why men treat their guy friends differently than their girlfriends and all the Feminist Internet Defense Force wants to do ITT is spin it into misandrist propaganda.

As much as I agree with your willingness to accept the "Way things are", I disapprove of your downplaying of the complications created by platonic relationships between two sexually mature human beings.

I find it sad and disappointing that both men and women are responsible for procreation, but only men get shit for being concerned about it.

I'm sorry I'm looking for a mate to build a nest and start a family with at the moment, and I'm glad to hear that you are not, but for one you don't have to actively search for one, because it is not the females role to do the approaching and asking out, but that doesn't make me a bad person for avoid situations I know won't end well.

If I know she's the type of woman I would develop feelings for, which is likely why we get along so well, why should I still be friends with her?

Why are woman so obsessed with Tantalus?

That's kind of odd, in one sense you're ignoring the human nature of heterosexuality, on the other you're condemning relationships with women.

Well I wouldn't know now would I op. I (almost) haven't met a girl I wouldn't like to be engaged romantically with. But as a friend I've only seen just one who I'd think be decent enough.

I have shit male friends though, I'm sure those could be easily replaced with equal or better female friends.

>Not apologizing unless to manipulate

many human beings are manipulative in some way. guys are more likely to be able to deal with male manipulation, and the same with girls (although there are lines in both scenarios that, when crossed, lead to conflict). women who manipulate refuse to believe/admit anything is their fault. if they're ever convinced something is their fault, they publicly defend to their death the assertion that it's not. if they ever admit something is their fault, they're doing it to gain something from it.

not making value judgments on manipulation or saying guys don't manipulate, just saying that guys find this kind of shit INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING.

>awkward conversations with parents

more of an afterthought, but if you ever have a friend of the opposite sex and one of you meets the other's parents, chances are the conversation is going to be awkward as fuck.

I play video games. I kick my guy friends' arses at Tekken and other fighting games. Although I do understand why the concept of a girl regularly playing video games (and I don't mean those shitty "gurl gamers") is weird. None of my friends are that big on video games though, male or female.

By that definition, most women are shit-tier. It's incredibly amusing that women who are by definition glorified prostitutes, still think that they can be anything more than a piece of ass to a man. A womans value is determined by her looks. If she is ugly, fat, or deformed, she is of no use to a man as a friend or a lover.

I know it sucks, but this is just the way people are. And women do the same thing with ugly beta guys, so it's just men that are the problem.

I think so OP. I guess it boils down to not being able to see from each other's point of view. It helps so that your friends can get a rise out of you. My male friends can sympathise with my interests and I can with theirs. With girls, even though it may be the same thing, we just can't seem to level with each other.

Its also because I've never met a girl who was funny (not just fart jokes - genuinely witty). They all rely on lol so randum memes.

I've always thought I made a pretty good friend to the guys I know.

I lend them books constantly, have conversations about literature with them, we have (non-girly) tea parties, I'll cook them food and I'm known among them as a great source for pastries. They come to me for help in personal problems too. Or sometimes just to talk and get something off their chest.

It may be because they're not bro/alpha types - they're not looking for someone to go to bars with and talk about sexual exploits. For the most part, my friends (both male and female) just seem to want a quiet retreat and good conversation. I guess I fill a kind of grandmother role for some of them, even though I'm around the same age.

I'm already married, and most of my male friends are too, so that probably also factors into why it works out.

I wonder if there is seriously any men out there who refuse to befriend a woman and has all male friends.

Cause I'd date a guy like that. Less likely to cheat and stuff.

No, men like that are actually much more likely to cheat on you. They'd probably expect you to enjoy their infidelity.

I like to argue with my friends over politics, games, math, technology, and pretty much anything else. I can say whatever I want to my friends and they won't be offended, but every girl I've known gets upset when they lose an argument.

This is obviously anecdotal and any generalizations over this experience wouldn't be accurate in the slightest, but it is the reason why I like my male friends better than my female friends. In fact, I can't hang out with my female friends without the presence of other male friends, because then there would be no one to discuss the aforementioned topics with.

It wasn't vague, I said had.
It means lots of things could have happened.
People move all the fucking time.

If someone said "I had the perfect dog."
People don't usually assume I gave it away, they assumed it died.

So my friends wouldn't have been perfect if we didn't stop hanging out cause of distance.

As social beings, humans, it is wrong for either one to focus on nothing but procreation.
Assuming we didn't live long lives with opportunity and shit, assuming we were just like animals and had to survive, pass our genes on, then die, then your point would be correct.

However, that is not what life for as humans is anymore, and thus, yes you can blame men for being concerned about it, because they're not just "concerned" about it, they make their lives revolve around getting pussy and then get mad when a girl doesn't want to give pussy.

Also, most people who want sex don't want to procreate, they just want sex, so your point is pretty invalid.
Sex is hardly for procreation anymore, most of it is for pleasure only, so you can't say "herp it's just their innocent biological programming to want to procreate."

Technically it's in biological programming to fight to the death for the right to mate, do we accept it if someone does that? No.

It wouldn't even be bad if guys could actually admit that it's NOT a girl's fault for not having sex with him (it's not his either, but it is definitely not hers)

And if they could admit THEY'RE the downfall of platonic relationships between male and female, because they're usually the ones that turn it awkward by wanting a fuck or confusing themselves that they "love" the person.
Not that it's an exclusive male thing, girls have done it, but the majority of males fuck up platonic relationships.

>SORRY I CAN'T DO WHAT YOU ASKED ME TO, AS I ALREADY COMMITTED TO GOING OUT WITH MY GIRLFRIEND. HAD YOU ASKED EARLIER THEN I WOULD HAVE GONE, BUT CLEARLY I HAVE BETRAYED YOU FOR HANGING OUT WITH THE FIRST PERSON I MADE PLANS WITH.

Fucking babby.

I never said I don't want female friends.
I said I don't want any romance of any kind, but I want lots of friends.

I like girl friends for some things, and guy friends for other things, I never said I liked one more then the other.

I like individual people a certain way.
It's stupid to blow off a friend because gender. No difference then blowing them off cause of race.
