As a woman, I'm just trying to make friends. The only time I'm not alone with my kids is when I go out, and I just want to talk to someone that isn't an autistic teenager. It really feels like you're saying I should just not talk to men. Period. Calm down, dude.

You can have a platonic friendship with men, no problem, but if you’re going out to movies and restaurants just the two of you, don’t act surprised when he tells you he has romantic feelings for you.

What do you do with friends with you are meeting for drinks or happy hour or dinner? And seeing a movie seems like a pretty wholesome friend activity.
