I Think Kind People Are Beautiful

I sometimes see men using the term "friendzone" in a negative way in their posts. While I understand the frustration they are expressing, I would like to assert that friendships between men and women can be very positive. The following quote confirms my own experience.

"It is a wonderful advantage to a man, in every pursuit or avocation, to secure an adviser in a sensible woman....A woman, if she be really your friend, will have a sensitive regard for your character, honor, repute. She will seldom counsel you to do a shabby thing; for a woman friend always desires to be proud of you." Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton

What a beautiful sentiment. I often think that my friends online are some of the best and most valuable people I have ever met. I still remember that one of them was slightly astonished that he could be friends with a woman!☺️

That being said, it must also be understood that there are a mob of men who are not really interested in being "just friends", and some of them wouldn't give a woman the time of day if they didn't think they could score.

So let me tell you...the above sort are a dime a dozen, while genuine friends, of any sex, are jewels beyond price.
