Why a lot of men instantly assume that a lonely woman online is looking for a relationship?

[Maria]

I have a female friend who's pretty lonely, actively looking for friends or someone to play with online and she literally cannot go without getting at least 3+ men who assume she wants a relationship instead of friendship..

I actually remember back when I tried to find people to play Project Zomboid with,

I was married,

No.

Are you sure you are talking about men and not teens and young adult males?
Because the vast majority of male and female adults I know, that play games together or communicate online does not assume its a flesh market..

I think it is age thing.. teenagers will often think its a chance to score some luck

quite simple :
man who want a wife have no interest in wasting time on a woman that friendzones them.
-> it's ineffective use of their time.

from experience if you are just friends with a female as a man, and she does get a husband eventually, you will be pushed out of her life, as other man will not like her being "so close with another man"

the only time man and female friendships ever work is when both have a stable relationship already and thus no need for more.

if it's just "to play online" it may be less an issue.. but than you hardly are a friend you are just that stranger they play with once and can easely remove once they are done with that game.
you are just a better AI to them to play against or with.

you should show this post to every woman who ever dates you, they'll instantly love you forever and want to marry you

Men are gross ive been telling people this for a minute.

[Not Big Surprise]

but yea
my guess is a mix of loneliness and a lack of social knowledge, combined with some potential biases in your observations, and struggles to see others as truly equals at least from the ones you've seen

Considering all of his other views, it would honestly be a miracle any woman would want to date him to begin with.

The real question is why always blaming mens from supposedly being like this? As if womens can do no harm themselves with their own beliefs and biases.

[Grimmz]

damn.. women sure have it tough.

i wish i had a line of women trying to harass me for relationship every once in a while.

[Grynn]

I suppose it's because most of the guys already have friends and don't want another friend, they want something more. So when/if they get friend-zoned or find out the woman is married they leave.

I think men and women are perfectly capable of being friends, they just have to be very clear with their intentions.

[pasa]

Why not? A lonely women *anywhere* is fair to be assumed is open for something.

Though, the "looking for relationship" part is your distortion.

[Rio]

If your lonely fellows and can't find a gf, just find a bf.

AI husbands are here and I hear girls are loving them. All the attention and compliments, with no expectations behind them.

[Lilly]

Maybe it's because she's specifically looking for male friends.

YES

This is what ruins so many relationships, of all kinds. Improper communication, and dishonesty about expectations (with oneself, and with the other party).
