In my own experience it was a scary personality change in him. Maybe she was friends with you at beginnng just because you were nice to her and now when you act like a different person she is angry because you are not that nice guy anymore which she knew before. I don't know if many women enjoy male friends which actually are just as <bleep> as with they male friends.. Maybe she would not be friends with you at first place if you would act from beginning like you do now. You faked it.

Friendships like that usually never work out.

Yeah, women don't generally dig it when they find out the only reason a guy is nice to them is because he hopes to get in her pants. Go figure.

Well of course there is a difference in behvavior when you are pursuing a woman romantically than platonically.

When I friendzone a man he does what you did. Unless he is being stubborn and trying to change my mind. Which has worked before! Anyway, you are not trying to change her mind so what you are doing is totally normal.

There is an in-between though. I have felt before if a man doesn't enjoy my friendship we would not make a good relationship. Friendship is the foundation. But if I am rejecting him I also don't feel like he needs to be focusing his energy and time on me as much. He wants to find a woman that is interested in more, he can't do that if he's focused on me.

Then your friend can talk to her for hours and be a support system for her.

You both went into the situation exploring a romantic interest. During that process she made it clear she wasn't up for dating and you discovered she has anger issues. No obligation to pursue anything further.

Never lived in the mindset that "gender" determined Friendships. So I am out on this one.

Good luck on modifying your behavior and ability to be kind to humanity. It is a life skill that take some bumps along the way.

Guessing you're young, haven't been through this before.

I have an inner circle female friend, we friend-zoned each other not too many years ago (c. 2013). No, I don't go the "extra mile" for her, she's one of the guys...with a vagina. If she wants all that, sleep with a guy and make him earn it. I've only had to say once "I'm not your boyfriend, not going there" and that was that.

Nor does she do GF favors for me, that would be just icky. When I have actual GFs, or she BFs, we kind of fade off as three's a crowd. That insanity always passes, though: friends are forever and valuable, partners pretty much worthless over the long-term.

No woman I'm actually intimate with will ever be an inner circle friend that I tell things to except what they want to hear as my "GF." For as long as that lasts *chuckle*. Buds are buds, dames something else entirely. She knows that.

It's not quite as simple as that...yes men may naturally feel intimate attraction for a woman, but it's definitely not all about "getting in her pants". Men can fall hopelessly and completely in love, can become attached 100% emotionally to a woman, and want not just her for her body, but for her genuine love, affection, and her heart (and which IMO, are even more important, than just the physical component). Please remember that men have feelings too...
