FEMALE FRIENDS?
I know that your post is directed at women. And I know you’re going to push back and say that ‘you’re not, we’re not, anywhere near the normal distribution’ but you know, I have always valued my female friends, especially if we are incompatible other than as friends.

I’ve valued my female friends, though (a) yes they often think you’re interested. I”m not I just value women’s opinion and insights because I’m on the opposite end fo the perceptual spectrum. (b) yes they often are interested in you (not a problem for me, I’m totally oblivious. lol)

I think you use female friends honestly like women use male friends honestly: “Hey, can you help me understand this?” Or “Hey, can you give me a (man/woman)’s opinion here?

It really helps if you’re both very attached and preferably married. It also helps if you’re in groups, whether couples or not.

So I suppose this is a difference between cooperative friends, supportive friends, and intimate friends. And you want to limit the support requested and avoid the intimacy at all costs. 😉

I really value female friends. 😉

Hoping you’ll educate me here in case I’m sufficiently on the spectrum to be stupid about these things. 😉
