Why did every platonic friend I’ve ever had eventually tried to hit on me?

I had/have male friends many for years, but each have tried to ask me out and I am thinking wtf why would you try to hit on a friend. It’s just crazy to me.

I've thought about this for a weird amount of time. I think it mostly boils down to a fundamental difference in the way boys and girls are raised/how they operate. Men have a tendency towards action/the immediate/now. For them being very good friends becomes an excellent platform to a next stage. I think women tend to view things in a longer term and consider the likelihood of more of a relationship to fail or progress and don't want to risk the loss of a friend.

That's my theory about it anyway
