Have you ever been friends with a woman, but then she wanted to date you...but you just wanted to remain friends? Has this ever happened to you?

Uh yeah, it happens to a lot of young gay men. Particularly those of us who are tall, frequent the gym and work in women dominated fields.

Most of the women I've had to politely turn down took it civilly and we stayed friends. A few others, however, got belligerent over it to the point I've had to give up a job. I wasn't reported or fired, they just made it uncomfortable and treated me like a pariah at the workplace. Some of them literally thought I was only using homosexuality as a made up excuse to not date female coworkers. One kept insisting I was bisexual despite my history of being exclusively attracted to men because she wanted to date me. Like those few cases got really bad.

I'm still grateful it's not a majority. Part of the reasons I still trust women is my friends and family who act a lot better. They're a reminder that plenty of women are sane, empathetic, fair, and compassionate. They're just not screaming in their cars on TikTok.
