Part 4/11:
Several responses addressed the difficulty attractive women face when forming friendships, especially with men. Many women complain that men often pursue them under the guise of friendship, primarily interested in a romantic or sexual entanglement. This suspicion fuels the idea that "men can’t genuinely be friends with women," leading to a sense of distrust and loneliness.
The conversation shifts to whether men and women can truly be friends. The respondent admits that it’s possible but emphasizes that such friendships are often characterized by boundaries that prevent the same closeness as same-sex friendships. He notes that men and women tend to perceive these interactions differently and that unspoken rules often govern interactions within these relationships.
