Hi... thought I would post here as I believe this is a feminist issue and I fear I'll be torn to shreds in aibu
I'm of the belief that men who are interested in having a genuine friendship (with no ulterior motives) with women are very thin on the ground.
Many women, particularly younger ones, shout me down when I express this view. However, from my own experience, I believe lots of men who are friends with women are doing so on the off chance that they might be in with a chance one day. When I was younger, slim, pretty, single I had plenty of make friends. As a fatter, older, settled down mum , I have none. Funny that!
So I'll accept there will be totally platonic friendships between men and women, but I think these are few and far between and many women are incredibly naive about what male friends are really thinking.
Thoughts?
