Why Can't Guys Just Be Friends?

One of these days I hope to travel the country. There's a way to ride train around the USA continent for about 1000. I wish soo badly but need about 1month of time

🙏

Again I have abused by everyone in my life. I have 1 guy friend who waits for me to initiate which I like. There's no pressure or then keep trying to take it even after I clearly tell them no. Yes no respect for women in PA

They take it more than I give it. It's soo hard to tell them no cause it gets bad

guys will always take it if you give it even the ones you are just friends with

They DO exist! Come to Virginia and meet real Southern Gentlemen!

it is very nice to know that good men do truly exist. Just not here I sware lol🤣

Most of what you'd get from something like this is "not all guys", dismissing your experience. I'll say, I have a few female friends. I don't have a partner. Some of them I've dated and just realized we were better friends, some I never had interest in that way and just always saw as a friend. Chances are, you're a pretty good looking person that people want to hook up with. People who don't look so good have the opposite problem, guys want to be friends, but never want to date. A lot of factors play into it. Maybe it's the location. Maybe it's just the guys you expose yourself to? The environment you find them in? Hard to say. There are guys out there that maybe would be okay just being friends. But, the big problem is you seem to find guys that don't respect boundaries. I know a few women I wouldn't mind hooking up with, but I know they don't see me that way, so I don't go for it from them. It can be done. I know I'm not the only one out there like that. Many of my friends are the same way. That's the kind of environment I'm in. Maybe try changing your patterns, changing the activities you participate in to expose yourself to a different kind of guy? Lots of possibilities here. Lots to take in. I guess in the end, I'm just saying... It is possible.
