    Well, man are looking for woman naturally. When the woman's character etc. Is nice you want to have her. Guess it's something like that. It always needs time after this to keep a friendship up.

    Cause most of the time girls don't be actual friends. Actual friendship is a two way street. Girls usually take advantages of friendzoned guys and when they çatch feeling they complain.

      Oh trust me I would love to have a group of female friends where we can hang out together, watch movie and go for shopping or sightseeing. Unfortunately, the women around me are mostly married and have no time to hang out with, or love gossiping which I am not fond of. Some just like going to the bars and get drunk and all. I don't judge what they do but their lifestyle is just not for me.

      You are hanging around the wrong women then. For every you, there are thousands just like you. I get not making friends with every woman, because you have differing interest, but there is no way that you can't make ANY female friends for that reason.

      So why are males your savior if you have female friends? It's quite obvious that these guys dont want to just be friends... and you can't keep male friendships how are guys your savior? Not being rude, but it seems like you just like having a lot of people around you. If you have genuine friends you dont need to seek out more.

      There are some real hetero Tom boys out there that relate better to guys than girls. Nothing wrong with that. But those girls usually don’t have enough developed feminine wiles to get enough guys seriously interested in them.

      But then there are those femme fatale bitches who have several if not dozens of male orbiters. They are professional friendzoners. They knows how to toy with them to keep them in reach (when need them) but never lets them get in their pants. THOSE women are the worst. They are also usually very good attractive and highly extroverted. They know to throw men a few bones but pull back when the guy gets hungry. I HATE those types of women. They usually become gold diggers.

      @backinblack22 Your second paragraph describes women who just wanna use their guy friends as a "part time bf" when they need them. I don't agree nor have I done anything like that. With my guy friends, I pay for my meals when we hang out, movie ticket and I take uber (or drive) so that they don't have to spend on their gas to fetch me. If that is the case that you have just mentioned, then her male friends have their right to leave her all alone. Oh giving mixed signal is also a no no.

      I’ve fallen victim a few times by these professional freeloader/friendzoner women. Again it only works for them if they are very attractive. A part of a man’s brain shuts down and they know how to exploit it. Ironically they usually end up falling in love with the guy who is the least interested in them. The challenge intrigues them.

      Hindsight is 20/20 but what I would give to have be able to go back and be armed with foreknowledge of what they are all about.

      and those are the guys who get the goods 90% of the time. The other 10% are usually very rich and/or have some sort of special advantage. She will spread her legs and fake it for him a few times, but quickly leave and is more likely to cheat.

      These women completely disgust me. Their bullshit rarely gets publicized either (reality shows, entertainment, etc.) but pump and dump guys get vilified. But they don't give a shit and that's part of their whole modus operandi.

      The good news is these type of women quickly lose their power when they age. However they are the type to take a rich guy to the cleaners in a divorce. They rarely have financial success on their own without being a parasite to someone else.

      This is not all women of course, but unacceptable percentage of them pull this crap.

      @desidoll I'm glad you try to pay your fair share when you are out with your guy friends. That's better than most women.

      If they are fine with the arrangement than so be it. But tbh you are still getting more benefit out of that than they are. They are there to protect you, you get can get strong male advice/logic, they will do heavy lifting for you and they also have to suffer some embarrassment if someone the guy if you two are together. A single guy who has to admit that his attractive single female friend is "just a friend" almost always feels ashamed if he's attracted to her. However I've had friend-zoned women LIE to other people we are dating. They get more wiggle room than guys do.

      But these guys are going along with it. So their choice. I wouldn't tolerate it though, especially if she wants to call me and hang out a lot w/ no physical interest. Different story if she was just a casual friend in a big group setting. But solo one on one "friendships" for guys with girls is emasculating.
