It's not rage bait? It's the literal textbook definition of sarcasm, it's not even that good of sarcasm either. Nothing can ruin a sarcastic joke better than lack of subtlety.
It was my first day ever at college. There was an orientation guide or whatever you call them that gave a tour of the campus the day prior, and after my classes, I ran into her again. She said she started having some strange abdominal pain and might need to see a doctor later. We had only made small talk before, but for some reason she trusted me enough to give me her number so she could call me in case of an emergency. Fast forward an hour or so later, she calls me and asks if I can drive her to the ER. Turns out her pain was a slew of issues and she needed to stay there for a while. Her parents wouldn't come over and I decided to stay with her their most of the night till about 2am, when she practically forced me to leave because she didn't want me to miss my classes. Almost 4 years later, and she's one of my best friends. I never had any interest in her romantically, and she didn't either (we both have types and we know each of us isn't that type). No ulterior motives, no friendzoning, just pure and true friendship. So yeah, friendly male-female relationships are definitely a thing.
Honestly though, men and women are into very different things in general. If I ever find a woman that shares my interests, which are mostly considered masculine, then sure, why not? But I've yet to find one.
@@JohnSmith-bs9ym yeah, like ev’n trans men are mostly put off by boxin matches an’ trash talk. Not a lotta guys like gittin their nails did an’ shit. But still, common interests exist. Like, ev’ry1 loves a good movie. Movies can be platonic, straight forward, pleasant times. TL;DR, try seein more movies wit people to make friends?
In my experience it works if the dynamics are clear from the start. The most common version is both simply never being interested in each other. The actual difficulty comes from correctly identifying weither these criteria are met.
Identifying that criteria can take awhile too (or be instant if homosexual) One of my closest friends is a woman and we met in highschool, took 6 months and a few failed dates to realize that romance just doesnt work for us.
@@MuDkipzCHancelLOr Dunno. Sounds like something that would only work for people who have standards that are very easily met. And I don't mean this in any negative way. Its just that I think most people have expectations that will clearly not be met by the vast majority of other people.
Yes, it's rare for a man and woman to be explicitly friends for a long time, but god the amount of people that agree with this is insane. One of my closest friends is a woman of four years that i met in highschool. How else do you think we survived being cavemen without full unity?
@@mrkiky If want ungadungalette to notice grubnug then grubnug need to give six grain to buy stone of how to make get muscle to hunt big gublong so that gublong not steal ungadungalette.
@@mrkiky I get the joke. But due to the sheer amount of brainrot in these comments I have to remind everyone again: Alpha males do not exist. It was debunked almost immediately by the very same scientist who first wrote about it. There is no such thing as an alpha male in nature and if anything the effect can only be reproduced with caged animals under extreme stress.
My first female friend told me that men and women can't be friends. It's funny, because it was also said, after she called herself a feminist, obviously just larped as one not the whole actual misandry part, but still... Found it interesting she said it then after 6 years of friendship.
Your female friend of many years looks at you. "Men and women can't be just friends. One of them always catches feelings." You: "But we've been friends for years, and I don't feel anything." Your friend: *stares*
@@silentnight3192 Both. She was definitely playing the long game, which for ladies means planting seeds and waiting for you to make a move and also you were oblivious it seems.
He is right, it’s impossible for men and women to be close friends. Acquaintances? Sure, but actual friends? No. I don’t have any female friends, my sister doesn’t have any male friends, my mom doesn’t have any male friends, my dad doesn’t have any female friends, etc.
They can be friends but a. The man needs a partner beforehand, or b. The girl has a partner (or a and b at the same time) A vulnerable man just can't be friends with a girl. He is either in it for the girlfriend aspect, or is gonna get his emotions toyed with, no inbetweens.
Its insane how people can literally be so desperate for love that they cant even comprehend the fact that its possible to have a friend of the opposite gender without being attracted to them (while single) Admittedly i have tried dating my best friend who is a woman, but we just failed to make it work (not because we got mad at each other but because it just didn't feel right) and ended up being friends again. She is my closest friend and we've known each other for years, the time we even considered dating lasted like a month too because we were both desperate. I feel zero love interest towards her today, she is just my best friend. Men and women can be friends without set conditions man 😭
Men and women can't be "true friends" because "true friendship" is like some kind of a platonic "marriage". Just because they are not intimate doesn't mean they are not bounding in a different way like some non erotic affair.
I had been through that period, and the girl was cheap (self proclaimed feminist, wants sugar daddy, has guy 'friends' only who she also talk smut with,doesn't have an education or job). Realized I'm in the friendzone (yup I was that desperate)so I kicked her out (she was not happy and threw a tantrum, gaslighting even when she said she was into another guy). I started touching grass and meeting ppl irl, now I have platonic female friends who I chat with and hang out with, no romantic feelings
Bro just repeating the same things as talking heads told him from the internet @ In an attempt to start a conversation, this scarecrow immediately begins to refute the friendship option. @ Acts like an obsessive nerd @ Self-proclaims himself "certified" @ ENOUGH.
Joke or not, the sentiment is very much correct. If either party has the slighest amount of sexual interest (good luck considering biology), then something's gonna go wrong if they don't commit in a non-platonic manner. MF friendships only work if that's thrown out of the window, like if either party is already in a relationship.
This post is a joke but the fact that people make jokes about it shows that there is *some* truth to it since you really only tell jokes, at least funny jokes about the truth. Male Female straight friendships can exist *conditionally* which should make sense since most relationships if not all are conditional. It's just the barrier to entry for male/female friendship is higher than other forms so much so that it begs the question if it is possible especially to poorly socialized young people. While the actual conditions for a friendship will largely be a case by case basis there is some common points that get brought up in other comments. People saying flat out "its wrong it can totally happen" are vastly underselling how desperate and horny most people are
If you want a happy marriage that lasts, then no. Men and women CAN NOT be friends. Trust me on this, been with the same woman for 25 years. Even if the friendship is platonic, it will cause strife in the relationship at some point. Here’s one reason. Your spouse is YOUR PARTNER in life. You join and build your lives together. Your decisions affect the other. They are meant to be your confidant. If you have a friend of the opposite gender than you confide in and not your spouse, you have created a divide, and every time you do it, you will widen that gap. Plus, when (not if) the other person catches feelings, and it ALWAYS happens, because you fall in love based off the amount of time you spend and experiences you share with the other person, you’ve now given the other person the blueprint to your heart and it will end the relationship you were in. And to those that might say “well, then I found my soulmate, in my friend” that wasn’t the point at all, cause if you follow the same trend again, you will lose THAT relationship too, cause you’ve created a habit and didn’t learn anything.
No like I literally copypasted the same reply to every dude, that took the post seriously just to get an answer from at least one of them, like am I taking crazy pills or just don't understand something?
I mean…. I’m friends with lots of women, just get past seeing women in only a sexual way, my gal pals love me, they have no problem being completely alone with me either even in a hotel room or my place, I also have guy friends too, honestly as a Brit I banter a lot and the girls I know love to banter, they are also bi so we actually talk about the women we both do find sexually attractive too It’s absolutely possible this is just rage bait and nothing more
Honestly I find it very easy to make friends with women, but that's mostly due to me only really developing romantic feelings if I already know and like the person. Sure, it may often start off as gauging each other and seeing if there is anything there, but I usually make it pretty clear that i have no such intentions and it just stays as a friendship.
I’ve long given up on being open to people because I feel I easily fixate on and autistically misapply concepts like in this parody I have very general “red pill” (as in rollo tomassi kind of red pill, not current hyper-commercialized red pill) ideas but have given up on trying to fully understand women or socially succeed especially since I’m happy in my current relationship
Tbf, men and women can't really be direct friends without there being some sort of ulterior motives. It only works if you're an acquaintance or a "friend of a friend".
The way you've worded it is odd but you're not wrong. Heterosexual, single men and women cannot be friends in isolation. One might be casually acquainted with their partners friends or friends partners, they might have "work friends" who they don't actually speak to on their own time but a platonic, one on one hangout between straight men and women is not possible. One or both of them is lying or holding back.
@@TKVirusmanI mean true friendship is like being is some kind of "gay" non erotic relationship I mean look at the Trojan War and how people think Achilles and Patroclus were gay lovers. Even if Achilles had a lot of women. Or some people think about of David and Jonathan from the Bible like they were gay lovers, even if the former had a harem with many women.
I have female friends and a girlfriend. Have had many since I met my female friends. Do not try to become friends with women you are attracted to. If you want to make sweet love to her than you shouldn't be friends! Date women you want to date,friend women you want to friend. No friend zone Because I don't want to date them and they don't want to date me. That's why we're friends if they hit on me I'd turn them down. Just remember to separate those your attracted to into a separate "potential girlfriend" category and go for it make it happen. Humans are friends with humans, friends don't all have to be the same gender. If you can't interact with a female without sexual intentions THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM! And FYI it's a lot harder to get girlfriends if you can't interact casually with a woman.
My female friends, girls that I have more romantic intentions to, but that wasn't happening, although we aren't in conflict, aren't even messaging me anymore if I will not flood them with messages myself. So yeah, either you are lovers or you are nothing to each other. Or she is using you.
