I am at university and my friendship groups are all mixed. I have close groups of guy friends but when we hang out in large groups during the day, or before going out, its always with men and women. I've hooked up with some of these women in the past. However, I am not looking to hook up with any of them at the moment. However, these women are useful in raising my SMV, and I do have fun when I'm around them. But their interest seems to vary at times, and thus their social usefulness is unpredictable. I think this is at least partly because there are often enough other guys to validate them, essentially playing the gay best friend role, some of whom are my close friends.

I am somewhat confused about how to approach this situation. In an ideal world I would create sexual attraction in , as many of them as possible to benefit my SMV as much as I can, but I'm unsure whether this involves the full negging, physical escalation deal.

The problem is that I am slightly outcome dependent here, because these women are going to be around me and my friends for a few years at least.

TLDR; I've never been able to quite suss TRP's stance on female friends. If someone could explain it to me I would be grateful

Thanks

Edit: TLDR
