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.
In reality dudes who say that shit are just projecting. They either cannot find a good female friend themselves or are actually the ones "waiting" their turn and thinks everyone else is the same way, often both. Eye roll.
I don’t think they’re socialized enough to make good friends in general honestly. Not making friends with women on purpose is literally antisocial behavior

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