I haven't had a male friend in over 5 years

I'm M25 right now.
The truth is that throughout my life I’ve always had more female friends than male ones. When I ask myself why, I think it’s because I grew up surrounded by female figures: I have no male cousins, only female ones, so everyone my age in my family was a woman, and my mother was a housewife and therefore the one who raised us while my father worked.
At school, my group was made up only of female friends.
I don’t know I’ve had male friends, but their communication codes feel very alien to me, I dont feel comfortable . Also, my last two male friends… one was cheating on his girlfriend and I ended up falling out with him because I told her, and the other was a client of prostitution.
With this I don’t intend anything more than to share an anecdote from my life, and I’m not trying to imply anything beyond the idea that early stages can influence a person and in fact, I think all of this has affected me much more negatively than positively.

this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that tension shows up immediately That’s what makes this interesting. Not convinced this is settled yet.

Putting bias aside, this depends heavily on what happens next and that’s where it gets complicated Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s the impression it gives me.

From my side, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s what people are responding to At least from my perspective.

If you zoom out, this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that tension shows up immediately That part stands out. This could age very differently in a week.

Honestly, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone We’ll see how people react over time. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
