Please don’t come for me I am not in anyway trying to slate men but it’s come to my recent experience that I’ve never had a guy friend who can stay in the friends lane.

Every single male friend I’ve had eventually tries to make a move on me or tells me that they’ve always wanted more. I spoke to my female friends about it and appears they’ve all had the same experience. Everytime I think one is different that he’s just a friend he comes onto me or tries to do something to me and ruins the friendship and it icks me to think I saw it just as platonic when they had other intentions the whole time.

Also every boyfriend I’ve had has always crossed lines with their female friends.

I just wondered can a man ever actually just be friends with a girl or do thoughts of something more always occur? I get men and women can be friends for years and nothing happens but as men even if nothing happens do thoughts about something happening always occur? And the whole time your friends with a girl are your thoughts always wondering to more or thinking of her in a sexual view?
