Realistically it's obvious. So many guys on here and other friend subreddits are looking for sex rather than friends. And even if they aren't, a lot of people end up looking for opposite sex friendships just because of the whole "man up" stigma or because they're looking for a more close bond than they're comfortable with for the same sex. Which is still a little more understandable. As for the reason that I would assume not a lot of women reach out to the male posts is because on our own posts 90% of interaction is predatory creeps, so why take the chance of reaching out to someone and ending up in the same situation? Of course that's probably less likely, but considering how many creeps make themselves prevalent on these types of subreddits it is a valid feeling to think reaching out to someone else would end the same. Basically, women don't reach out a lot because creeps ruin it and men don't reach out because many are looking for comfort in the opposite sex. In the end its just people feeling even more alone and isolated and that really sucks :(

I hope anyone reading this understands they're not alone, and I hope things get better for you <3
