i have something to say. if a man doesn't have any successful platonic relationships with women he isn't related to or dating that is a 100% guarantee that he is a misogynist and i have never been wrong about this

I didn't realize you were on here. Sweet!

Makes sense. And guys, when I asked wife-to-be out on first date, I suggested meet up at local pub with shared friends; half were women. Made sure to take time away from the table getting drinks so they had talk time. She told me later she appreciated I provided references.

Hear fucking HEAR. 👏👏👏

There's an exception - if the man is in seclusion, and doesn't have relationships with anyone; or similarly, is a monk, living in a community of like minded people, etc.

Yes, a give away warning, backed by research

While I wholehearted agree with this, there are also a lot of women who are convinced that men can’t have platonic friendships with women and prevent them from doing so. Lost a good friend that way, unfortunately.

if you as a man cannot sustain platonic relationships with women that tells me that you are incapable of viewing women as full human beings with value outside of being something that you can fuck or something that will be your mommy or both!

Most of my close friends have always been women, no romance or sex involved. They tend to think and feel a little deeper about the world.

Sometimes guys just don't hang out with women or are unable to. Doesnt make them misogynistic. For a lot of my guy friends I was their first female friend. For some I was their first friend in general. That mentality is only going to make it harder for them to get those platonic relationships. :/

I'm really pleased that my male friends also have other female friends, to me out days they are decent people who aren't expecting anything from the relationship
