There is more nuance here than you let on. I grew up with a hand’s full of sisters. I prefer female friends to male friends. I just lack the experience with the vernacular of male interactions. I am great at making friends, but I am apparently terrible at keeping them. If the woman identifiess as cis het then either they start to develop feelings for me or accuse me of having feelings for them. (even in the absence of such feelings) If they identify as queer they eventually remove me from their lives as I am either unwelcome in their circles or they are ridiculed for having a “cis het white male” friend; even when I consider, and identify, myself as more open than a hard het. (It appears if you say you are uncomfortable with labels people make them up for you and then apply their unique biases.) I’m unsure how to square that circle. I’ve resolved to just keep repeating the same cycles.
