if a male friend confesses to having feelings it must mean he had nefarious intentions and he was never a real friend. (maybe subconsciously true? most women are extremely annoying to have as friends)
Disagree, it took him three years to develop those feelings for her, not that it took him that long to ask her out. It is neither true on a conscious or sub-conscious level. Perhaps he found her attractive when they first met, but that's normal for a man his age to do. If he had feelings for her in the beginning he would have asked her out than. I can understand him agreeing to walk her home in the beginning. Perhaps she was underage, or had just turned 18, but after three years she is a grown woman who can vote, buy alcohol and own a gun. He doesn't owe her anything, he isn't required to do anything for her, and if it gets to much of a hassle to "escort" her home and walk home himself, he has a right to stop. I'd like to ask these women who is going to escort him home while he's drunk. After all men are the majority of victims of crime. Where is his protection? Has she ever offered to escort him home when she's drunk and he's sober? And better yet, if she is scared to walk home by herself, why is she getting drunk in the first place? Where is her self-accountability? We all know where, but still.
This man did everything women tell men to do, and the women who told him to do it are crucifying him for it. He didn't hit her up for casual sex, he didn't turn down her friendship, he took time out of his life to escort her; and when he developed feelings for her, he was upfront and honest about them. Accepted the rejection, and decided if he was going to find love, it wouldn't be found escorting a grown ass woman home. Imagine all the hours he wasted escorting her home and walking to his place, that he could have used for something else, and in college no less. When he's supposed to be studying his course work, and preparing for exams. The self-absorption of women, of foids, never ceases to amaze. And these same women will wonder out loud, why andrew tate of all people is popular with their sons.
Men are vending machines that you put friendship tokens into and get protection out of:
Part of the reason foids think men view male-female relationships of any kind as transactional is because that's how they see it. Women are entitled to men's protection, men's time, men's money, men's sperm, men's spaces, men's etc... All while they refuse even the most basic of decencies like not murdering their unborn children, or not abusing men and children. And it pisses them off to no end that a lot of men have figured out they think this. You owe foids nothing, especially lesbian foids who think foids are in any danger from walking alone at night on a college campus even when drunk.
