If your male "friend" runs through women like a train or treats women badly, he is low value and should be cut off. HVW have absolutely no business associating with low value men, whether that be in a relationship or in a friendship. Levelling up means ruthlessly assessing the character of the people in your life and acting accordingly. Moreover, I do not know why a woman would want to be friends with men who are womanisers and players. These men have no respect for women meaning they have no respect for you. Women as a class need to come together and reject shitty behaviour from men, and this includes poor behaviour from so-called male friends. Levelling up is not possible if you continue to surround yourself with people who exhibit low value behaviour. Do yourself a favour and cut them off. You won't be missing out.
