I know the title might sound like I’m full of myself, but that’s not the case. I’ve had several male friends throughout my life, and while I don’t specifically seek them out, I enjoy their company. Things usually start well, but before long, they start treating me differently—giving compliments, gifts, and eventually confessing feelings like “you’re so different” or “you make me feel valued.” It’s exhausting. I genuinely want to make people happy, but it seems like my efforts come off as flirting, even though that’s not my intention. I’ve tried to tone it down, but nothing changes. I’m tired of being seen as someone’s manic pixie dream girl or savior. It’s frustrating because I have no interest in most of these men, and it’s never the ones I’m actually interested in. I just want genuine friendships without this added pressure.
752 opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic. So normally I would think a woman like you is just trying to prop herself up and let the world know that guys are so into her, because most chicks do that stuff under the guise of acting like it bothers them when they are actually low key bragging, even if they're not into those guys. Women just like letting people know there are dudes who want them so bad. But I think I know your situation:
You are probably the kind of woman who is very good with male company and is genuinely friendly. And unlike most women, you also probably respect men for who they are and are not seeking power over them, have any intentions to manipulate them, and are not trying to be sexually superior to them. When guys meet women like you it's pretty hard not to be attracted, so I can understand them on that front.
I have some female friends who are just like you and talk about the same problem. Best thing you can really do is just keep emphasizing that you like them as friends, and if they can't accept it then you gotta cut them off. But be aware that your respectful and respectable company and personality will continue to draw men because most women don't behave with that kind of grace.

1 yInstead of being Happy that every man falls for you, you coming on here and moaning about it... Either you're looking for Validation, either is just for Sex, either you don't know how to read body language...🤦♂️🤔

a lot of girls maybe only show friendship and attention to guys they find attractive. So they already think there's a level there. And if - because of your good heart amd friendliness - these men are less attractive men who struggle to get any interest from women you have given them hope. You say the guys you want are not the ones saying what you want to hear. So I'm guessing men you truly find attractive are men who do have lots of options so they don't fall for any girl that is nice to them...
Maybe. I don't know you so I'm just guessing from an outsider perspective.

1 yMaybe it's the way you are around them and the way you talk to them, not everyone has the same perception of friendship for example my ex was very touchy with every girl he didn't think nothing of it (as he said) but maybe someone else is thinking different.

1 yWell to be honest, if you're physically attractive to them and you have a nice personality (which doesn't seem to be the case in this post), then you're definitely going to have men interested in you, even if "they're not the ones you're interested in".
The reason I say you're not as kind as you make yourself out to be, is because you find it tiring to receive attention from guys, when if you're not interested in them, all you have to do is politely say so. You're probably fake with people to come across a certain way and have a certain reputation that you want to upkeep.20 Reply If guys say things like "you make me feel valued" to you, well, there's your answer. That's something men hardly ever experience. Men are shown appreciation and receive compliments so rarely that just one genuine compliment or heartfelt "thank you" will stay in our heads for years, and just thinking about it can make our day. If you really do make those guys feel that way then it's no wonder they fall in love with you.

1 yUh huh... probably because they want to fuck. How many men got to fuck and got bored of you as quickly as you get bored of these other men trying to appeal to you, to also get to fuck?
Have you considered why anyone would want to be your genuine friend? Maybe fucking is all you have to offer...
What do you do, hobbies, job, talents? Or you're just a not fat woman that looks like she took a bath?00 Reply- 1.7K opinions shared on Guy's Behavior topic.
1 yIt's because you're being authentic. You aren't trying to impress anyone, so you're being more truthful to the person you really are. Men find that attractive.
I can safely say that there are very few things less attractive than inauthenticity.

Anonymous(36-45)1 yI don't know if this a troll post. But from my experience having a close friendship with guys is a big NO NO! They get the wrong idea and expect more then get mad when told no. Pursuing friendships with men is pointless because we end up having to cut them off.

When I was younger, well, I mean, much younger than today, I used to have no need for anybody's help IN ANY WAY. But now, things have changed and I must admit that I'm not so self-assured. I have changed my mind and opened up the doors. I do appreciate you being around.
