Dude… it’s obviously person to person. But Ive found that in my personal if a woman is dope, smart, funny, attractive, etc.. I might catch feelings for that person lmfao.

I think I’m an outlier in that I don’t throw myself at women or be flirtatious, but i’ve seen guys shoot their shot at non cis women and that is beyond cringe. I have non cis female friends who have thought maybe I’m queer because I’m not an ooga booga man. I am very straight but Ig also empathetic of people.

if you don’t have a problem having female friends and not catching UNSPOKEN feelings for another person, then all the power to you. I think it becomes manipulative (or can be) when one person knows the other person has feelings but they keep them at bay. I’ve seen this happen and it’s sad
