Male interest groups

[KarlMars]

I find making friends with people easy based not on their sex, but whether their personality and interests click with mine. I've had a lot of male friends and frankly, none of them "expected" sex, which is why I've never been put off male company. Sure, some few were interested in a relationship, but they knew they'd have to work at that if they wanted it, which is not the behavior of someone who simply expects something to be given to them. If you were treated in that way by some men, please be assured not all of them expect it. Nor do all of them want it from every single passing (perceived) female.

Most people have or will have families (or want relationships) at some point. That would narrow your friend choices down quite a bit. It might be easier to adopt a strategy by which you maintain distance from people who want to be closer, rather than limiting getting to know people based on these criteria.

I already maintain distance from people who want to get closer and avoid normal straight nuclear family people. I'm doing odd jobs now with this awkward closet bi male crossdresser from my church. Once I tell him I'm off limits he was fine.
