I agree. It's weird that lots of women think mean are all just knuckle dragging neanderthals only interested in getting into a woman's pants. Sure, some are, maybe a lot are, but many aren't.
Through various voluntary work, clubs and societies over several decades, I've known loads of men who I've had purely platonic friendships with, very few of whom have shown any inclination at all in trying it on with me. I have more male friends than female friends but not had affairs with any of them.
My DH is exactly the same. He doesn't actually like other men, not even for friendships, and has always had female friends through his various hobbies and voluntary work. It's how we met in the first place, but we were friends for a year before we got together romantically. We'd have both been content to have remained friends I think had we not got together.
The thing is that it's the knuckle dragging neanderthals who frequent the pubs and clubs, active on OLD, going around chatting up random women etc., so it does kind of give the impression that most are like that. But it's not the case. The ones who are like that, are approaching huge numbers of women - it's a numbers game, if they ask enough, they've more chance of scoring. Whereas the "nicer" mean (for want of a better word) aren't "Out there" on the pull, so are more invisible and that's why events, clubs, voluntary work, etc are a good place, as the "nicer" ones are more likely to be doing that kind of thing rather than chatting up everything in a skirt in a pub!
