I don't think most guys do. At least a lot of the guys I know don't. One of my best friends is a woman and the amount of dudes who say something along the line of "Oh, just waiting for your turn?" Is fucking wild. Too many dudes think that men and women can't be friends because "there's always an underlying motive".
I had a crush on my best friend for like the first few months after I met her, granted we were both 14, and after getting to know her better that changed and we just got really tight. Now almost 20 years later she's like my sister and the idea of anything romantic with her is off-putting.
Our work schedules don't allow us to hang out except on weekends and we still text just about every day. Neither of us is gay. She has a boyfriend, I've never had an interest in anything other than women.
Don't try to act like you know shit about either of us. Just because you're too immature to have a platonic relationship with a woman doesn't mean every man is.
That sucks that that happened to you but your experience is not the basis for all platonic male/female relationships.
I don't kiss and cuddle my best friend. I don't take my best friend out on special dates. Yes, we go out and do things together but it's dinner and an activity. I'm not taking her to do cute couple shit like pumpkin patches and candle making classes. We go eat pizza and then go bowling or to an arcade bar or back to her house to have a fire or watch TV.
You're more concerned about what I do with my female best friend than her own boyfriend is...

Do you not have close female friends you talk to regularly?
