    It’s funny that you never see this post with opposite genders. I’ve never once seen a guy complain that all women in his life wants to be his girlfriend…

    To answer your post. Yeah I think that’s just how it is. I don’t know a single guy that has female friend(s) he hangs out with on the regular. We’re generally not interested in that.

        You think I’m wrong?

        I’m close to 40 and this has been the case since I was a teenager. I have women I’d consider friends but I don’t hang out with them like I do with guy friends.

        I think mostly it’s just that our interests doesn’t really align.

          It might’ve been true for your personal experiences, but it’s not universal, especially across different generations. It’s definitely more of an issue for exceptionally attractive people of any gender.

            I genuinely feel for attractive people

            I’ve been moderately attractive once for a few years in my life and it was fucking awful, got grouped multiple times as a guy, can’t imagine being a hot woman for decades

            it does always feel like people want stuff from you

          Yes.

          I think mostly it’s just that our interests doesn’t really align.

          I think the decline of gender division in interests is a factor here.
