The general red pill attitude towards friendship is that male friendships tend to be more fulfilling (less drama, more fun debates, less mindless yapping, more fun activities like sports, etc). That being said, if you come across a woman who you genuinely enjoy spending time with and who you're not pursuing, there's no reason not to be friends with her

TRP is not a goddamn religious sect.

It assumes you are interested in them sexually. If you are not... why would you try to sleep with them?

Obvious answer, here.

If that's how it is, that is perfectly healthy. From my experience, I can get better quality friendship from guys, but it's not a law of nature.

The only female friends I have are my friend's girlfriends, fiancees and wives. Every other girl that I know assumes were friends.

You can do whatever the hell you want, we're not a cult. In general, we find that men turn out to be superior companions, for they put more effort into the relationships and have less of an entitlement complex.

wondering if a guy is allowed to have friends who are girls

Count me in the group that disagrees with the prevailing TRP wisdom on this subject. Men and women can be friends, but . . .

1) You need to be honest about why you're there. If you're trying to do friends in lieu of a real relationship, then you need to cut it out.

2) You can't let her play and tease at you.

3) You can't allow her to act in a GF-like manner toward you at all, because some potential female mates will get a sniff of that and avoid you.

I will say that a decently attractive female friend can be a very useful social prop in a game context. Being the cool guy with attractive friends of both genders works very well in full-on social circle game. I have a female friends with kids (who I never intend to date for that reason) who I use this way. She's cute, she's very cool, and she's very easy to hang around with. It goes a long way toward drawing other women into the conversation as long as I keep boundaries with her.
