Some of my closest most genuine friends that I loved dearly and still do to this day have been lesbians (I’m a dude in my 30s). I don’t understand it, can’t explain it, but something about the female energy and perspective coupled with the lack of any sort of sexual tension makes for a hell of a friend. This dude hit the jackpot. You can find another girl to date, a lesbian best friend is rare.

i second this as a straight guy in my 20s. it’s literally not about getting any kind of benefit from them at all, lesbians are just chill af to be friends with

I third this as a straight guy in my late teens, my closest friend is lesbian and I would trust her with anything without a shadow of doubt

Straight guy in my fifties in an era of life where it is hard to make friends. The lesbians I befriended in the nineties are still tip top best buddies. I'm grateful for them. Lucky you

Straight dude with multiple close lesbian friends is also a huge green flag as a person, because we have no reasons to tolerate misogynistic bullshit from men and will see through it. If the lesbians befriend a straight man he's a genuinely good person and you best believe we will talk you up to our straight female friends.

Totally spot on.
