Just curious about your stance on this one. I myself am kind of stubborn to follow this particular red pill belief. I understand what they're getting at when they say you shouldn't befriend women, but I think there are exceptions and that you can benefit from the friendship.

For example my best friend is my ex girlfriend. There's been no issues so far and sometimes there still is sexual tension between us but why let that ruin a good thing? She always checks up on me and id consider her the only unicorn I've ever come across as far as women go.

Other example is that I'm friends with a pole dancer. She was in my room the first day we met after a film shoot and I failed to escalate. And recently we smoked together and again, I didn't try to sleep with her even though I would. I figure if she expects me to automatically fuck her on the first or second hang out then she must think I'm easy. So maybe lll keep her friendzoned for a while and take advantage of the benefits of being friends with a stripper...preselection for starters.

I think a common blue pill belief is that its dishonest to be friends with a girl you know you would fuck. I think it can work. Its just not always easy because you constantly feel like they're off fucking other guys when it could be you they're fucking.

What do you think, agree with red pill on this One or disagree? Seems like both red pill and blue pill mostly agree that men and women can't be friends under certain circumstances, but I want to challenge that.
