Are women deliberately having a best male friend still up for dating a man?

I´m not sure if I understood your question.
Even so...

Good friends and best friends of either gender are blessings of life.

Good friends, even if not always personal friends of your partner, are always friends of the relationship. As they wish you the best happiness and respect your choices.

Friendzoned "orbiters", men or women, are another kind of fish. Opportunistic ones.
No place for them in a healthy loving team.

@CharlieZ the thing is that she's an old acquaintance of mine, from 11 years ago. And once I asked her out after meeting her again, she turned me down (maybe not remembering me), but then two months later she got into a relationship which ended again 4 months later, and from then on she often spent time with her best male friend (who I consider so, I wouldn't say he's her boyfriend).

@scooogy We, humans, are a complicate species...

@CharlieZ how polite of you to include men in this xD

@scooogy To survive till 68 almost 69 years old, being "cautious" is a must.😁

@CharlieZ ah I get it, being a good husband to avoid "the last meal ever served" xD

@scooogy That "meal" was the last of my worries.
My Ex wife (Ex since about 19 years ago) never found out from which side to held a pan.
But I rised THREE daughters…

Do you know the related anecdote from Winston Churchill?

@CharlieZ who hopefully showed her how to hold a pan, right? :P

@scooogy Perhaps her (my ex´s one) actual husband did, though I doubt about.
My daughters had not a very close connection with their mom, so I rised them as a "single father".
AND, of course, I was also the one who cooked for them.
