    I mean this is really not hard to understand dude. Women often have to deal with dumb asses that take every act of friendliness as an invitation to have sex. So now that she knows that you are in a relationship she feels more comfortable to talk to you because you (hopefully) are now busy being attracted to your gf instead of her and capable of having a conversation with her like a normal person.

      The amount of times women told me after a conversation that they appreciate me being just friendly and not hitting on them is kinda worrying. We humans create so many problems for ourselves…

        Emotionally stunted men cannot tell the difference between being friendly and wanting to fuck because that’s the only strong positive emotion they were ever truly allowed to feel as kids/teenagers.

        It’s a huge cultural issue, and we can all thank toxic masculinity and the patriarchy for not allowing boys to have feelings or deep platonic relationships and then growing up to misinterpret any friendly interaction as a romantic advance.

        hitting on them

        Life pro tip, you’re probably more likely to find a mate if you’re not scaring all the potential mates away. Make friends, and if you enjoy spending time together, ask if they’d be interested in something more formal (e.g. a date).

      Yep. But Anon is clearly one of those guys who put every attractive woman in the “fuck zone,” even when she’s made her disinterest very clear, AND he’s got a girlfriend.

      classic meme of friendly fire.

      we really can’t have anything nice, because we always fuck up our own shit lmao.

      I love being a human, it’s so funny.
