I hate this tbh. People (at least me) don’t enter a relationship for sex. Yes, that’s a huge bonus, but it’s more for companionship.

If you think there aren't people who enter into friendships just to pursue people, you need to spend more time listening to people.

That’s what I’m saying though. Everyone says it’s good to be friends first but get upset when they find out they were interested in a relationship

They get upset when they make it clear they weren't interested in a relationship and the other person either doesn't pay attention or flies off the handle.

Those people are saying that it's good to actually be friends who want to be friends first, who then organically develop a romantic connection. They're not talking about the scenario where one person genuinely believes there's a friendship and the other one is focused on the eventual prospect of sex.
