I can hang out with my Male friends 7 times a month and we’ll both pay for whatever we get and/or I pay on some days and he gets to pay on some days I also don’t have to pamper his emotions when we banter/gist so it makes the whole thing more fun and seamless. That said… this brings us to how you people also ask why Men just can’t be friends with Women without wanting sex. The major problem is, once you people see the presence of a Male figure, you automatically don’t want to become useful(even when capable) Most Women refuse to tender other things when building something(friendships/acquaintances) with a Man, besides SEX.(and some Men make do with that) So when that sex is taken out, having to always hang out with female figures becomes a HUGE loss to the Man in the long run coz it eventually turns into a parasitic togetherness as against symbiotic… Men rather chill with their fellow Men since the Men are willing to tender other tangible things. And when they chill with Women, they find a way to accept their only tender(or should I say the only tender Women are willing to give) ? Ladies, ask yourself.. how many times do you get to holla at your Male friend(s) and just go pick him up, chill.. pay for whatever you guys get and probably drop him back home ? Tender all these other things and see if he won’t want to hang with you more.. . . . Away from all of that, I don’t think Women realize how energy-consuming it is to just co-exist with them, considering how they’re almost never self-sufficient This has nothing to do with whether or not she’s a good woman/bad woman/broke woman/rich woman. Men don’t get to express these things enough.
