I'm a recent MGTOW convert that discovered his own way in the last year or two and since then I've pretty much only had one night stands. I realized the complication that were accompanied with bedding women that I'd have to see again, so I've began making a lot more platonic friendships.

Prior to this revelation, I've only ever looked at women as potential mates, and never really took into account what they could bring to the table as friends. I was a firm believer of "no such thing as a platonic friend" unless obviously you were friend-zoned into oblivion (which I have been). Although I still don't consider these friendships all that valuable, sometimes it's fresh to see things from a female perspective. Especially since I've chosen creatives as my life's calling and adding female perspective definitely puts things in a new light.

My problem is this. I've had similar encounters with a few girls that I see on a regular basis, whom I consider friends that have made passes at me. Not saying there was any elaborate profession of love or anything, but frequently bringing up that I am "attractive" or they are "crushing" on me or wanting to "cuddle" makes me raise my eyebrows about the nature of these kind of friendships. I've even confessed to two such ladies that I am MGTOW (which is a hilarious if not extremely taxing process.) And I'm still not completely sure if they comprehend or not.

I would love to hear what the rest of my MGTOW brethren has to say on this matter and perhaps share your own experiences with it?
