I’ve literally had female friends my whole life. And that’s because I don’t treat them like sexual objects. Its also kind of funny how when you treat women they respect, they actually like you. And see you as a potential partner. Like who would have guessed? That’s something many guys who are forever friend zoned or virgins will never understand. When you put women on a pedestal, they will never respond to you in a positive way.
I had as a kid in Japan -- we played in each other's houses. Then went to other parts of the world including the US growing up and got all confused between "girls have cooties" and that overly romantic pedestal stuff. Took a while for me to get used to the prospect again -- but definitely makes everything easier with both friendship and dating of the opposite sex.
I think so -- like this "cooties" concept was very new to me. Also just with my childhood, the Famicom in Japan was targeted to both sexes almost equally. So lots of girls like video games, guys like video games, and so we play at each other's houses. Builds relationships early and before puberty gives us tunnel-visioned ideas about the opposite sex. Then I went to the US and I see Nintendo targeted mostly towards boys with boyish commercials and available in boys section of Toys R'Us. Some years after, I see all these magazines at the grocery store like, "The Top 50 Secret Things Guys Want" or something like that written by some woman, and I flip through it out of curiosity and it seems totally bogus like she barely had any male friends all her life. Without this type of cultural interference, I think it is quite natural for guys and girls to be friends. And in Japan, sexual jokes usually aren't so offensive -- girls can laugh at those rather than be offended since they're used to spending all their lives being close to guys... In the US, I typically only find that with exceptional girls like ones who grew up with many brothers.
Possibly. I think most of misunderstandings come from not being able to relate to someone. So I agree with your observation on the importance of understanding and getting to know the opposite sex. It’s not just about rushing to see what’s under the blouse. Most likely if that is a persons only goal, they’ll never see it come into fruition.
I think it helps here that, just culturally, boys and girls starting from a young age are encouraged to do that with lots of interests that they tend to share in common. By puberty, probably almost every guy in every culture wants to sneak some peeks under the blouse, but it helps if we had some years before that to get used to hanging out and having fun and talking to each other. For sexual desire though, I never found it that big a deal. I'm confused when people on here say that makes things impossible for friendship. I think a "crush" makes that impossible, but not a semi because I saw a hot female friend of mine bend over. That's not gonna make me jealous when she flirts with other guys or introduces me to her boyfriend. I don't know -- it seems especially common in Western cultures for guys to conflate sexual interest with something much more. Just sexual interest is something we should be able to have towards total strangers. It's not committing or something that should make us act all weird.
I used to go over to me female friends house and play Mario cart growing up. She was one of the most attractive girls in my grade and so were her friends. We’d also go swimming together where I got to see them in tiny bikinis. While I was sexually attracted to them, I never let that get in the way of how I treated them. Which was with respect.
So you are not wrong, that growing up with girls and having common interest I. e swimming and gaming, helped me on later in life being able to understand and obtain women.
It seems very practical to me. We master hanging out with girls, talking to them, having good times -- and that carries over to everything else including the sexual and romantic. It seems totally backward to prioritize the latter before a guy gets the hang of the former.
No you are comparing oranges to apples, if the the statistics isn't reported the same way the can't be compared. In sweden each act is counted not the number of crime reports like in yours. So any comparison will be flawed. Rapes are not common in sweden, they are very rare if you compare with other countries.

You’re wrong about testosterone by the way. You’re thinking of libido. Which is sometimes linked to high testosterone but not always.
Also not all women want to be objectified or are attention seeking. That is you excusing inappropriate behavior from rude men.
Education of the right kind is meant to help you. Not cripple your point of view, with a misleading narrative. You say all women are attention seeking and enjoy being objectified? Great. Go tell that to your mother and see how she responds.
And women are never going to stop deliberately sexualizing themselves because they want the attention and it gives them power over men.
OK, so you can read a bit. That's good. Now work on your comprehension.
I'll help you out a little this time but I won't always be here to hold your hand. Nowhere did I say anything about "all women", but there are obviously plenty who sexualize themselves and do it for attention and the power it gives them over men. If you haven't noticed that, you should come on down to planet Earth and observe it for yourself.
Maybe your problem is your inability to write. You said “women”. Not some women, or certain women. But now that you’ve clarified, from your original, poorly written statement, I can understand your point a little better. And to that, I would say it’s a very small population of females who would fit that description. Such a small percentage, I consider your statement to be borderline, if not outright misogynistic
What’s funny is that those guys will call you a simp if you tell them they’re too thirsty. Like no bro, my entire life doesn’t revolve around busting a nut. I have hobbies that preoccupy my time.
But that is his point. The traditional sexual rules have broken down, and now we are in a place where it is sexually anarchic.
Okay. Well I want sexuality to go away altogether unless it’s for reproductive reasons.
True. It’s because I was giving an answer, wasn’t interested in arguing. I’ve learned often times people on here like to ‘win arguments’ and that’s boring to me. I’d rather answer the question directly.
Yup.
