Why can’t men and woman be friends? Why does everyone just want to get married?

My best friend of 15 years just passed away. I miss him. As a woman we don't get platonic male friends that aren't trying to fuck or play the long game and hope that a romantic relationship will develop. I know what he and I had was rare. I get enough unwanted attention from men. So to have a male best friend that I trusted with my life that would never hurt me, creep on me, or make our friendship awkward was a blessing. I've been drunk around him and he never once tried anything. I know that I will never have another male friend. 1) because I could never get that close to a man again. His shoes were too big to fill. 2) because I don't trust many men and I'm not trying to cuss a mfr out that has an unknown agenda to fuck or play the long.

You can be friends. People have a strange way of pushing heteronormic ways on innocent friendships. Look at how they treat children. "They are going to get married someday". How about we let them be friends??,

I dont think most people want to get married, I think they just want physical intimacy to temporarily fill the gap of true intimacy without having to be emotionally vulnerable with anyone.

Because men are looking for a servant in a woman, not an equal friendship.

One of my best friends is a man and I’m a woman. He’s married, and I’m single. And no it’s not weird. We just genuinely understand each other.

Not every man and woman needs to end up married. Sometimes, a genuine friendship, mutual respect, loyalty, and understanding are more valuable than romance. ❤️ Not every connection needs to become a relationship. Why can’t we simply enjoy someone’s company without expecting to own their heart? Real connection is about understanding, not possession. What do you think, gentlemen? 👇

I think most guys have like a 100 women friends and only one wife so I imagine the friendship odds are generally pretty good

I have a friend who's a man and we get along swimmingly. Also helps that he's asexual and in HR, though 🤣
