what are the positives of having female friends, as a male?

Getting to complain about your female friend not wanting to fuck you.

Or something.

My female friends are just regular friends. What are you talking about?

None. most are uninteresting

The same as having guy friends would be? They're people? Two of my best friends are women. Women are awesome.

Sexual tension

Same benefits as having male friends, mostly. Friends are friends, no?

Friends just betray you

If you had any female friends you probably wouldn't have made this thread

How in the world would they be classified as the "same"? I have way more interests and things with common in guys, compared to women in general. I'm also not attracted to my guy friends

...jesus christ

i've had some female friends help me choose outfits and stuff since i have no idea what looks good on me, as well as some hair care products to use

How is it the same benefit

Guys have way more things in common to talk about with other men. If I have an attractive female friend, the subject of sex or attraction will always be there

I think the things I would say here mostly just revolve around me getting to avoid toxic masculinity, but that was an issue I'd mostly only run into in my adolescent years. It might not be as bad anymore.

all you literally need are decent fitting clothes.

Other women actually view you as trustworthy

Some real maidenless responses in here

It's a sad day when you need to have the aura of being around people to be "Decent". Rather than actually having accomplishments, loyalty, goals, and integrity without the need of relying on other people

That's a smart question TC

friends are good to have

and ofc CE jsut thinks of it as a way to leverage to meet girls. lol

You have more friends.

lol doesn't work. female friends eventually get BF's, and spend most of their time with said BF. While the BF will look at you as a weirdo or a threat to him if you're still talking to her.

As a guy, I can still theoritically have a good guy friend and the GF wont be intimated by my friendship with him

Theres some proper crazy thoughts in this topic.

The benefit to having a female friend is that you have a friend.

You seem like a very socially stunted and sad person.

thats the reality of most men. Most men are more lonely than women and have less support groups. While men are told to bottle things up and hide their feelings away to not appear "weak" or vulnerable.

And they said misery loves company. Guess not lol

Don't be weird, just view friends as people. Not everyone has to be based on a would you fuck them scale.

Can confirm. Whenever Ive had a female friend, one of us tries to have sex with the other.

Not necessarily true at all, unless the things you are into are inherently harmful to women in a way that would lead them to steer clear of them.

So, what, bisexual people just shouldnt have any friends?

Sounds to me like you just dont really view women as having any value beyond their usefulness to you as an object of your own sexual gratification.

Men generally have to act different talking to women VS talking to men. You can't talk to a woman, the same way you talk to a man

One of my closest friends is a woman and Im independently friends with her husband too. Its been a very favorable experience.

Fashion tips.

This, learned some cooking tips from the ones who liked to cook, and then it's also good to get opinions from both guys and girls about various stuff

women r cool

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Wont work. Society tells men to either man up or get over it when they become open with their feelings.

It is socially unacceptable for me to talk about my problems or issues or even cry most of the time outside of legit therapy.

There is no hope for men. Which is why a lot of them grow up to be virgins, have depressing thoughts, etc. When men get brutally rejected our treated as an outcast, they are supposed to deal with it. men tend to deal with these issues

Also, as a guy I can shoot the shit and talk about a cute girl I saw with a buddy or talk about how I would fuck X or Y girl. Just an example of typical locker room talk BS

with women, you can't talk about these same subjects. you have to approach women differently than men. talk to them differently than men. otherwise you get labeled misogynist or "creepy"

You're overthinking it, man. Unless you're the epitome of a frat boy and only talk to your bros about smashing chicks, you absolutely can talk to women like you talk to guys. They're not going to faint from the vapours or something.

Women are into make up, hair products, and beauty stuff

Those 3 things already demonstrate that there is no common ground of interest

that's the only way to know where all the dust is.

You'll have someone to give all your extra money to, no strings attached

Practically speaking, do actually you have friends though?

Practicing talking to girls. It helps you become less shy. You can't talk to women the same way as men though. You have to know her well on what to talk about. It also helps build trust with other women, notably ones you might be interested in and don't have as close of a connection.

You could try to make a move and risk the friendship.. Definitely don't do it if she's in a relationship already.

You don't want to be thought of as a fuckboy or womanizer either. Word spreads fast between friends if you try to ask several women out who are friends with each other. Women talk.

Especially be careful at work.

You can as long as you arent being a dick about women when talking to men. Funnily enough, they dont like that.

Theyre like dude friends but with different stat distribution

Some of the responses here... do better

I adore my female friends and it's not because I secretly want to bang them. One of my "groomsman" is a woman, and she supports my relationship more than anyone.
