Women use their friends, especially their male friends. Why is there such a disparity between men and women on the question, "Can men and women be just friends?"

They (especially the pretty ones) know the spell they cast on men and they exploit this as much as they can.

That's only because some men let themselves be exploited.

Here's a better question: Why don't you ever see a hot guy with a string of ugly female orbiters that drive him around, buy him things, and do other errands with him while he complains about the other women in his life?

I'm sure they exist, but I have never met one, and there is NO way that they are anywhere near as common as a female with male orbiters.

Because women benefit more from having beta male friends (read: orbiters) more than men benefit from having female friends (I'm talking actual "we hang out at things other than parties" friends, very rare are the legendary cool female friends who hook you up with their hot friends). Females don't interact with men unless they are attracted to them or unless they are serving them in some other way (does their homework, free drugs, etc. <-- all of which I have witnessed, so I know it is a thing) Also, men don't generally hang around women they don't want to fuck. Men know this and I think women subconsciously do as well but of course their hamster is beast mode when it comes to stuff like this.

They can only be friends in that hetero boy/girl way. A friend who is a girl will never be a friend who is a guy, because a girl will never be a guy. Unless she gets a sex change.

So.... there you go. Stop expecting women to be men, and you'll do fine.

Why is there such a huge disconnect between how men and women perceive the issue?

is there really such a huge difference? i've seen (non-RP) men already state that they have female friends tons of times (and vice versa), and from what i've seen posted there isn't any crazy scrutiny applied to those relationships; they're just friends. it really seems like more of a disconnect between how RP and non-RP people view it, because RP followers don't believe men and women are capable of having genuine friendships.

I've never heard any person - man or woman - say, "I don't really hang out with guys. I just get along better with women."

I have. Mostly women and people in the LGBT crowd. If you spend most your time in the "manosphere" you wouldn't see those people much.

why are these views so prevalent? Is there some truth to them?

80% of Americans believe in angels and only 61% believe in global warming. Do angels have more validity than climate change?

I think women are fully aware that they use men. They won't ever admit it, though, because it makes them look like really awful people

According to this TRPer, all human interaction is a power struggle. Now that's not a view I hold but I'm sure it exists. I'm absolutely sure that some women use men, just like I'm positive that some men only pretend to be friends with women to get in their pants. I think both sides of that are sad and limiting. There's value to being friends with people that have different backgrounds and characteristics than you.

People use each other. Men use men and women use women and women and men use each other in different ways.

Well now you have.

Post Titles need to be as neutral as possible:

"Women use their friends, especially their male friends."

This is your opinion, and you're more than welcome to express it in the body of your post, but we ask that titles be neutral.

"Why is there such a disparity between men and women on the question, "Can men and women be just friends?" "

This title would be fine, but you'll need to re-post your question and add a flair.

Guys who are trying to hit on women will generally not accept reciprocal favours when offered in order not to appear weak. It's more often guys trying to insert sex into a relationship where there is no chance that ruin the friendship.
