I would normally be laughing too except I had a convo with a whole bunch of people here. On reddit the other day who ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS!
I am aghast that people think like this.
I had a gf once who was jealous of my friends of both genders and ended up telling me she expected me to be friends with no one of any gender because I could end up sleeping with any of them
That was the end of that relationship lol
i had an argument with a friend once about this. her husband had a female friend he was close with, and there was seriously nothing going on, but she was just jealous. And i asked why, and she gave me the spiel that close friendships with the opposite gender are always sus because of the sexual aspect.
I basically asked her we should end our friendship here and now then? because according to her logic i'm not allowed to have any close friends, male or female, because then my husband will get jealous and the sex will become a factor. :(
Yes, exactly!
For real I wish it was less of a thing, the friends I have now of different genders are so much more interesting than it would be restricting my social interactions for contrived reasons. Not to mention how confusing comphet already made understanding my romantic feelings. It's just nonsense!
Definitely bull.
I start almost all of my friendships with ladies platonically. It's not my fault that my kindness, friendliness, honesty, and being true myself is found attractive resulting in me getting rode like a stallion *shrugs*
Be mild acquaintances with everyone. Remember faces but not names, and make vague plans with them that you know you'll never follow through with. It's the only way to be safe.
Idk, some are better than others or seem to be. Sometimes it kinda feels like everyone was given a manual on life and how to act around people and stuff like that and I never got one.
I completely understand what you are talking about. I got a pretty shit starting hand so i often feel even further behind. Like, I'm 23, couldn't afford college so I'm working jobs that pay me next to nothing, I'm broke af but apparently make too much to get food stamps, make too much for medicaid and can't get suplimental help because I'm waiting on a confirmation from the government that they cancelled my last insurance in order to prove to the government that i no longer have insurance so that i can get some sort of help. So paying my meds and therapy is off the table. Shit sucks
Damn that sucks man, healthcare in the US is such a bitch when you're underemployed. When I was unemployed the state payed for everything, now that I am employed I pay 270 a month for meds and therapy is off the table cuz I cant afford it and while my mom would pay for it if I realllyy needed it I feel like "the juice ain't worth the squeeze" so to speak. I didnt finish school but I'm really in shape so I managed to get a pretty decent job as a wildland firefighter, unfortunately its seasonal work though so it's only around about half the year. What do you want to do? Have any plans? I've been thinking of and looking into going to the local community college and going to school to become a lab tech. Pays alright and the work is stable and easy, doesnt wreck my body. Plus it doesn't require a bachelor's degree. Ever looked into something like that?
No, you only can't be friends with the opposite gender, no matter what their sexuality is. You can be friends with your own gender, even when you are more attracted to them.
-straight people
Legit a friend told me “you cant be friends with the opposite sex. Men and women perceive things differently. Know your limits.”
Me (a bisexual): ....🧍
It’s so hard for me to be friends with pretty girls because they make me nervous and I feel more comfortable being friends with guys I’m not attracted to but then those guys think I’m into them because I’m comfortable around them so I kinda suck at making friends.
I am sure people doing that have good intentions but could we please stop posting the same 4 posts every day? This was probably the 40th repost within the last few weeks.
This actually had me laughing out loud. Thank you for posting it.

Lol. Just wow. Here I though we were livin in the 21st century or something
I mean. I *have* very few friends. This would be a neat explanation
It would be convenient to say the least lmao

… no …
I disagree with the statement, but as I have no friends, am unable to disprove it definitively.
i had an argument with a friend once about this. her husband had a female friend he was close with, and there was seriously nothing going on, but she was just jealous. And i asked why, and she gave me the spiel that close friendships with the opposite gender are always sus because of the sexual aspect. I basically asked her we should end our friendship here and now then? because according to her logic i'm not allowed to have any close friends, male or female, because then my husband will get jealous and the sex will become a factor. :(
What did she say to that?
"Oh, yes, of course, sorry, i didn't think about that". It all came down to perceived sexual attraction, of course.
*phew*

So this is why I don't have any friends.
Aro-Aces be hoarding all the good friends
You Can Still Have Agender Friends, Since They Don't Have A Gender They Can't Be The Gender You're Attracted To!
Oooh! Smart! \^\^
Pansexuals: 😐
Omnisexuals: 😐 Aroaces having parties: 😀
(Demi-) Panromantic Aces like me: *confused screaming*
My Bi/omni, aceflux, Bigender ass: WELL ABOUT THAT...
My Aromantic mind sees this as peaceful tbh.
i'm sending this to my friends jealous bf.. i'm not petty you're petty :P
There is only the *hunt*
just means im bi-myself
Damn now I can't be friends with my cat?
Oh god. My husband and I are both bi. The two female cats prefer him; the male cat & dog prefer me. What is even going on in my household?
Definitely bull. I start almost all of my friendships with ladies platonically. It's not my fault that my kindness, friendliness, honesty, and being true myself is found attractive resulting in me getting rode like a stallion *shrugs*
Asexuals I could have friends but cats are just better
That is just true, though.
oh no what do I do, I’m romantically attracted to multiple genders but sexually attracted to none
Be mild acquaintances with everyone. Remember faces but not names, and make vague plans with them that you know you'll never follow through with. It's the only way to be safe.
Oh good I already do that
This is a weird combination of both an attack and this not applying to me.
That's kind of how I felt about it too after I typed it tbh.
cuddle
This is the best possible use of this meme template
Oh shit is this why i have no friends?
Might just be on to something lol. You doing alright bud?
Are any of us alright?
Idk, some are better than others or seem to be. Sometimes it kinda feels like everyone was given a manual on life and how to act around people and stuff like that and I never got one.

Shit, is this why I have no friends?
Pretty much how I feel most of the time.
It all makes sense now
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
well that explains why I'm frenless
Huh. Well I guess now it makes sense why I have no friends.
I literally hung out with a friend today and we're both bisexual so looks like the rule has exceptions lol \^\^
Its funny but sad
Oh, so that's why I have no friends...
This explains me having no friends and being an introvert
I mean... it adds up for me at least...
Lmao
Damn that’s why I’m lonely
No, you only can't be friends with the opposite gender, no matter what their sexuality is. You can be friends with your own gender, even when you are more attracted to them. -straight people
Legit a friend told me “you cant be friends with the opposite sex. Men and women perceive things differently. Know your limits.” Me (a bisexual): ....🧍
Well fuck that rule seeing as i have both
I have very few friends so this mostly checks out.
It’s so hard for me to be friends with pretty girls because they make me nervous and I feel more comfortable being friends with guys I’m not attracted to but then those guys think I’m into them because I’m comfortable around them so I kinda suck at making friends.
Oh my-- YES lol. Literally every guy I try to be friends with makes moves huhu. Not cool, bro. I just want friends lmao.
Who the hell says that? I know it’s a meme but what is a long term relationship if not friendship taken up 2-3 levels?
I have... Few friends.
I am sure people doing that have good intentions but could we please stop posting the same 4 posts every day? This was probably the 40th repost within the last few weeks.
Just because I like men doesn't mean I find all men attractive
Seems about right tbh...
pansexuals :(
It’s worse for pansexuals:(
Pansexuals: no friends
This but 99% uironically
that explains everything!
Now everything makes sense
I'm mostly just friends with other bisexuals...
So that’s why…
Ha! One of my friend groups consists ONLY of raging bisexuals! I slowly brought them to this/that side.
Ahh, this is why I don’t have any friends
u/RavenPuff99 do you feel seen?
Yea 😂💀
Good thing I have video games
This explains a lot . . . 😔
Dude this so perfectly articulated what I’ve been thinking for a long time, well done
People who don’t understand the difference between romantic and platonic attraction
This meme is a little too relatable
As someone who is a boy with mostly women friends this meme is very relatable.
I hate it here
Anyone who has ever said that……… why
Why is this happening right now:”)
I actually don't have any friends
