Aish! This is such a mess. Some men don't understand the meaning of the word platonic.
It is a dangerous, dangerous thing to be open and approachable to anyone now a days.
You either get taken advantage of or end up in situations which are really really crazy.
My advice to girls in the business world: Don't ever try to be sympathetic and understanding to men. Most of them won't understand decency if it came and punched them in the face. They take your concern personally and assign it meanings you never even dreamed of and then get offended when you don't react in whatever way they anticipated.
And then the next day you have to go back to work and see these B@#$%^s again and watch them glower and glare and in general treat you as if you have betrayed them, rather than the other way around.
Is it not possible for a girl to want only friendship from some guys? Must everything have sexual undertones? I understand that some girls 'use' men by flirting with them and such, and then dump them afterwards with phrases like "I just want to be friends". But that does not mean that all girls and all relations are like that. Sometimes people just want to be friends. It has nothing to do with gender and inclinations. You cannot be attracted to everyone. You cannot sleep with every girl and guy you are attracted to. So allow us our choices and respect those choices. Don't force your assumptions on people and for God's sake, stop feeling entitled. You are not.
I don't understand people. And the more I see, I don't want to understand people!
Best to avoid all that and be a cold bitch! It is safer. Believe Me.
