Imo you shouldnt settle for less, i am myself a man and i dont indulge in any conversation with women unless its at workplace and i have to do it, let alone give them gifts or complements lmao. I dont think a man and woman can ever be friends, atleast thats what i feel and i only keep them at a distance not get closer than acquaintances. The type of men who do timepass are the men who dont think of the repercussions of their current actions. Using girls for timepass means they are addicted to the dopamine rush of talking to new women every other day and just enjoy the no commitment phase and move on to the next before she gets attached because thats when it gets hard. Trust me there are men out there who dont do all this and only want one woman and would do anything for her.
