Unlike Men, I Refuse To Use My Male Friendships To Gaslight Women

“One guy only knows so many well-raised men, and their inner circle doesn’t possess enough bodies to convince most women that the juice is worth the squeeze.”

“That’s just the men you know!”

Men everywhere

Many people hold the misconception that women who are courageous enough to speak out about their experiences or share very real statistics regarding relationships between the opposite sexes are lonely and void of all male interaction. Nothing can be further from the truth.

I can honestly say that most of my cherished relationships are indeed long-term friendships with the masculine, and I wish more women would relieve themselves of the long-standing notion that men and women cannot be friends. I do understand the sentiment, as some men completely take advantage of these relationships as an easier way to dive into a friends-with-benefits situation. It’s an opportunity to gain a woman’s trust and only to use it to their benefit. So I do recognize the threat in engaging with men on this level. However, if a woman uses stealth and intuition the reward can actually be worth the risk!

Take it from me: I place all men in the friend zone for good reason. It is a beneficial set up.
