I have always been in touch with my masculine side, which has allowed me to form close-knit, platonic friendships with men. Being a woman, I can confidently say that having male best friends helped shape who I am today, providing me with some of the richest and most meaningful friendships I’ve had to date. Over my 34 years of life, I’ve accumulated a handful of close male friends from my college years right up to the present day.

Suppose one trending issue regularly appears to surface in female-based community groups. In that case, the trope of successful women attract weak men. Of course, we all know at least one beautiful, intelligent, successful woman who never seems to find men who are anywhere near her calibre. It appears, for whatever reason, that the most desirable women often inexplicably end up with abusers, cheaters, or downright losers. Have you ever wondered, in a state of bewilderment, why these strong, independent women seem to struggle so much when seeking healthy relationships? From what I have gathered, it’s a mix of things. However, there always seem toRead More…
