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.
men and women can be friends. most people also want to get married.
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??,
Why can't everyone just get married?
I can be friends with men. I've mostly had guy friends my whole life
They can 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.
Married??? Pfft… We just wanna plough…
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? 👇
If you think they can't be friends you're around the wrong people
I don’t want to be tied down like that
I agree it’s like every guy I’m friends with want a relationship
I don’t want to be married AND I don’t want friends lol
Because they always end up fucking each other
Hi
Social pressure.
I can. It’s easy.
I think most guys have like a 100 women friends and only one wife so I imagine the friendship odds are generally pretty good
Because....... WHY NOT!!
It's possible, yeah there may be some chemistry that may lead to things but
the concept of being legally bound to another is pant-shitting worthy
I have plenty of female friends without even attempting marriage with one
I have a friend who's a man and we get along swimmingly. Also helps that he's asexual and in HR, though 🤣
