Yes. I've been fortunate that way too, as far as my 'real life' male friends. I've been seeing and hearing the bitter, angry sort of talk from men about being "friend-zoned" for a long time now, expressed in various ways. I can understand the hurt and even anger if they've actually been led to believe they were a romantic interest to a woman, and been used in some way. That doesn't seem to have been the case the though, many, many times.
Consider yourself lucky in that regard. I'm not saying I never have feelings in that way for a guy, but it has been very rare in my life and so many guys have said I friendzoned them. And I'm like yeah, aren't we friends??? 🧐
The whole "friend-zone" thing is something I never really thought about -- maybe it's generational? I mean, of course in a lifetime you meet someone you like as a friend but you;d also like a sexual relationship with, but if it isn't mutual all you can do is accept it -- no need to naming it "friend-zoning" or whatever, it's just life.
Felt. Direct correlation to this premise as to why I've had very...very few male friends. This mindfully, from a fan of men. In terms of simply seeking shared connection on what ever non romantic, there relentlessly exists an eventual undercurrent of lust exposed. Leaving you bewildered as to...like....what happened to where we started?
@Punxi They still fall in love with you; they often see me as a sister. Though occasionally, even at this august age I discover someone has something else in mind. 🤭
almost all of my male friends have confessed to me after a short time. my male bestie did too recently. but we've been friends for 10 years, and has continued to be my bestie even after i turned him down. i love him c:
@bijouxbroussard Thanks. This doesn't mean that I find my women friends off-putting in any way(I'm a guy!), just that we're better off as friends. I have received plenty of great advice.
