I will say that they occasionally come out with an unexpected remark like "Orville Redenbacher could loving GET IT" and all their friends will be like GIRL YAASS and you have to once again recalibrate what you thought you knew about female sexuality.

As a straight, older female this made me laugh very hard.

I have like three guy friends who I regularly go out and have a drink with. They are random people I met through a shared hobby and work. My anecdata says that a dude will go grab a quick beer with you then you both gently caress on off home. With my female friends, it takes a bit more planning and notice. My experience only. Also all humans are garbage and desire for friendship is a grotesque byproduct of the modern condition etc

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

It's pretty cool. It's nice to get a woman's perspective on things and it will help make you a more well-round person.

It's also nice, as a straight man, to be allowed to access all of the hidden places only women can get into via the iron key they're given on their 18th birthday.

He�s pretty great. He cooks nice things for me all the time and likes to help out with chores and yard work. He�s pretty chill and is nice company. :)

Your friend is 100% angling to get in your pants. No one willingly does yardwork without the expressed transaction of being paid back with rear end.

I don't have any friends but I have several female acquaintances. They usually seem happier to see me than my male ones, but I think that's because women are generally nicer in a superficial way and they are not actually happy to see me.

I talk about actual things with my female friends. Also that is really the only way that I become aware of gossip. it is oddly difficult for me to hang out one-on-one with the bros because of ~*toxic masculinity*~ ; it is hard to come up with enough stuff to talk about when you can't get into feelings and stuff

Nah, he’s constantly helping out various friends with stuff, but because me and my husband are his favourites and he lives so close by, he helps us out a lot. He used to live with us for a bit before he bought his own house and would constantly cook us dinner.

We’ll have some other people over and he will make enough food to feed everyone and cater to everyone’s dietary needs. He’s also always doing my dishes, and replenishing anything in my kitchen that needs replenishing. He knew I used my last egg for some French toast, so he bought me more eggs and snuck them into my fridge when I wasn’t looking. Probably so he knows there are eggs if he wants to make us crepe suzette or something again.

He’s just a weird guy that likes doing chores and cooking for people. Our other friend has nicknamed him “Jeeves”.

We had a pretty frank discussion about how he has no intentions of harming our friendship or my marriage because my husband and I are his two favourite people and he roots for us both. I believe his intentions are pure. :)

I've known people like that. It's not the norm for sure, but it's nice to have people outside the family structure who care.

My husband and I consider him family at this point and he will be an honorary uncle to our future children. He’s actually really excited about us having kids.

Perhaps it’s also his cultural background. I met his parents for the first time recently and his very French father tried to offload a bunch of tomatoes and tomato juice on me. He seemed like a very nice old man. :)

My husband does not want to have sex with him. He hadn’t really thought that idea through. Also, our friend would not be remotely interested in the idea either, which is good! I would much rather just stay platonic friends and wouldn’t want to risk loving that all up.

That was a very silly idea that will never and should never happen. :)
