women talking about male friendships

Speaking from the perspective of someone who believes in evolutionary psychology, women don't believe in it (evolutionary psychology). Feminists preach that male and female babies are born with identical brains and everything that's different about our behaviors, preferences, etc. has been learned. They think that we just need to unlearn our "unhealthy" male behaviors and preferences and that we'd be better of if we thought and acted the way they do.

I don't know if it's gynocentric or some other word, but they can't see the world except through their own attitudes and preferences and that they are the correct ones. As another example, there was a post a year or so ago where a woman was saying that men don't understand things and don't problem solve well because unlike them we don't think with our emotions.

Additionally, I think that an underlying problem with almost all of their weird ideas is as I said above, that they think with their emotions instead of using logical analysis.

As someone who was raised by all women and the majority of my friends were all women up until about 10 years ago I think the biggest difference I have learned is that female friendships aren't the same a male. Women view any female acquaintance as a friend in some way or another while men do not. Most women's friendships are very shallow and self serving from what I have observed where as if a man calls you his friend it has a much deeper meaning. Even women's friendships with men tend to run deeper than with women. At lest from what I have observed.

I'm honestly thinking that some of these women who respond this way to male loneliness aren't giving much reasonable lessons on being less lonely for the sake of upholding their feminist ideology.

I see it as this, some women in general do not want the majority of men to succeed in relationships with women, since to them the bottom percent of men are bothersome and abusers to women's safety. I'd say that these women thinking that male friendships are not only similar to female groups but are more of a need than companionship with a woman is saying more about how these women want the bottom percent of men to be docile, weak, and above all, ignoring women unless they decide to settle down with these same men during their 30s and 40s.

Basically, I think modern women are deliberately saying this bs for the sole purpose of telling men to stay away from them in the nicest way possible.

And when I say nice, I mean in a way that benefits them. They know most of these men have no friends. They are aware that men don't usually form sororities. They just do not want them at the moment before they decide to settle and start a family.

This is why young men are going abroad, they realized that they're invisible and basically unwanted by western women at most. Albeit, in my opinion, I'm guessing foreign women may display the same behavior.

Women may, in general, use these "helpful phrases" to have some form of safety net to men they're not attracted to, or otherwise, uninterested in. Imagine getting friendzoned by other women you don't know, but instead, they want you to gravitate to more male spaces and less around women.

"There's someone for you out there" is at least a better response, honestly. I'm assuming most women outside of modern western ideology would respond this way to lonley men.

This sounds a lot like victim blaming.

Well it's not new. I mean, women talking bull on topics they don't even begin to understand

One thing women tell us to do is vent about our feelings. We don't do that because we don't see the point. If we discuss our feelings with someone we're doing that to get an outside perspective and brainstorm solutions that we didn't think of ourselves. Women vent just to talk and don't want to hear about solutions.

Men don't open up to each other while women are around. Do women ever consider this possibility?

The men in our lives have told us and studies and research and stuff

Because they are egocentric. It really is that simple.
