2022 and this is still a thing - Can Men & Women be Friends?

[No1]

People who say this don't see their "friends"as actual people, just potential conquests for which they have to bid their time until it's their turn to dive in and "sweep them of their feet".

I do believe men and women can be platonic friends, but anecdotally, it hasn't been my experience as most of my male friends are either waiting for a chance to get in my pants, then drop me like a hot coal when I say no, or they're already in a relationship of their own; and even that hasn't stopped them from trying. In fact, I'd say my only actual friends are gay men, or ace and aro ones. Basically men who are not attracted to women or anyone else in the first place.
