I'm a 30 year old male and I've always found it easy to make male friends and maintain meaningful male friendships. That includes men of all ages. I don't know how, except perhaps by being genuinely interested in their lives and projects they're working on. I'm guilty of being too honest for my own good which may or may not play a role.
Despite treating females exactly the same, more often than not they mistakenly assume I'm romantically interested in them. When I was a teenager I was often taken aback by their negative reactions to my messages. I'd copy-paste the offending my message to a male, or have the same conversation with a male, and the men always reacted positively. It was quite puzzling.
- jtbayly 5y agoThe problem is that you’ve been lied to when they taught you that men and women are identical. They aren’t. So you shouldn’t expect them to react the same way, in general.

- jtbayly 5y agolol. I mean, I don't know if this is satire, or what. Are you aware of testosterone?
- DarylZero 5y agoIt's not (directly) about testosterone in this case, women are more guarded/suspicious because they're being hit on all the time. For men it would be an opportunity, for them it's a nuisance/threat.
- bronzejaguar 5y agoIs this a joke? I’m not very good at reading sarcasm.
