I had a guy best friend once! He held on to my phone and wallet for me while we were out drinking one night, because my dress didn’t have pockets and I hated wearing a purse. No biggie, he was my BEST FRIEND!
I texted him from my laptop a few days later and noticed some really suspect previous messages.... which were MY nudes from MY phone, sent to HIM. He went through my phone, sent himself my nudes, deleted the messages and gave my phone back like nothing happened. Even took credit for being such a good pal and keeping it safe for me. He, an android user, had no clue that my MacBook and iPhone could sync messages.
I obviously stopped being his friend out of sheer disgust. A year later, I found those exact nudes on a revenge porn forum that was organized by city/state, and contained my first name and last initial. This means people (read: disgusting men, users of the site) I knew were easily able to identify me, then comment on the post to share more private information (my college, my sister’s name, my place of work, etc.).
I had to contact the owners of the site and tell them I was underage so they would remove the post, after giving me a hard time about it. The photos were re-uploaded within a week and they refused to take them down the second time. Things eventually blew over, but only because hundreds of photos were uploaded to that site every day without any of the women (or girls!!!!) knowing.
This is why I fucking hate men.

I was 21 at the time. I only told the admins of that site I was underage because after some research, that was apparently the only way they would remove it. They refused to remove it the second time because they had “proof” that I was over 18. Absolute bullshit.

How is that even legal? Such image sharing practice breaks at least several laws of privacy, copyright, human rights and revenge porn. This only proves that the age of consent should be raised to 25 years to legally ward off these predators, when everything else fails.

Always use a passcode on your devices (not blaming you) but every device I own has a passcode. If he can't open your phone he can't text himself.

I thought I had a best guy friend once, but he tried to rape me when I was drunk. Never again.

I’m immediately suspicious of women who only have guy friends. Or the ones who describe themselves as “one of the guys”. The cool girl is just a pick-me in disguise.
[–]pangolinplatypusFDS Newbie96 points97 points98 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Was this girl. I was so obsessed with "breaking the code" by being one of the guys so they'd treat me better than they did other women. Mostly they just dumped all their problems on me and then dated/banged traditionally feminine women, but they'd try to sleep with me on occasion while telling me how "not like the other girls" I was.
0/10 do not recommend.

Yes this was about 2/3 of my college experience. Bad times were had by all. Except the guys who got a free therapist/ego boost/dating strategy coach out of the deal 🤡
[–]pangolinplatypusFDS Newbie7 points8 points9 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yep! And afterwards I'm sure the guys just forget about it when they marry the girl they just spent 30 therapy sessions complaining about. I mean. Unless they slide into your DMs 10 years and 2 kids later with, "hey."
Point is! Guy friends are really only worth it if they actually treat you as a human being and don't shit on other women in or out of your presence.

“Girls are too much drama!” Andddd what are you again? A man? 🧐

So true.
[–]nyclaurcoFDS Newbie88 points89 points90 points 3 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
wow, extremely not true. if you have a friendship like this, maybe reevaluate things. i have two guy best friends. one of them is a musical genius and an architect. we usually get dunkin donuts or make music. the other is in my master’s program with me and graduated already. we helped each other with our math and science courses. i guess the catch is, one is asexual, and one is gay.

I have two male best friends one is gay the other is straight. Both are extremely kind mature and great to be around. I would say like any relationship with men you need them to be HV, LV/NV people are good for nothing.

I had a male best friend once and he managed to talk me into a FWB situation when I was at a really low point in my life. I hate him now.

My guy best friend is everyone’s best friend and he is the voice of reason amongst all of us, always trying to get some common sense in our heads when we end up in bad situations.
So can’t disagree more.

My guy best friend went on to college and told me a new story every week of his other female friends’ boyfriends manhandling or straight-up raping them in the next room over. He could hear it going on every time. His answer to “why didn’t you help her” was always “I was scared” or “I was going to, but I didn’t.” Sooo...you just kinda suck, huh.

I had a male best friend who gave me guy advice once too. Turned out he was secretly in love with me and subtly giving me advice that would sabotage all my relationship attempts so he didn’t have to watch me date someone else. There are women who are straightforward and honest, I’m confused why you’re acting like this is a gender thing...

Your OP says that you’re thankful for guys because groups of women make it dramatic or aren’t honest, and your female friends go to you because the “guy advice” is so superior. The ones your friends with may be that way but that also hasn’t been my experience which is why I commented about the generalization about both genders.

I mean... if pointing something out “isn’t very kind” then I guess we just shouldn’t point stuff out? You said you value honesty and straightforwardness, I haven’t insulted you or denigrated you in any way, just pointed a very biased way of thinking that you apparently don’t want to acknowledge or look at 🤷🏼♀️
[–]biggestsighFDS Newbie4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I find girls, especially groups of girls, manifest random things that wouldn’t have necessarily crossed your mind.
So groups of girls = bad?
Isn't it good that they make you think of things you wouldn't have thought of? None of your girlfriends teach you to be high value? Only your straightforward guy friends?
I'm not trying to rag on you but I think you need to take some time and ask yourself why you don't have high value female friends.

Straight guy best friends always want one thing: your love or your body and they will feel entitled to it because they are such “nice guys.” One guy friend began to resent me when I kept rejecting his advances and he turned our friends against me. Another one when we were drunk scooped me up in his arms while I was sleeping on his couch and took me to his bedroom. When I realized what was happening, I yeeted on out of there and he followed in his boxers. Disgusting. And other guy friends will just completely stop talking to you after finding a girlfriend.
