Many men will not tell you when they feel lonely and/or used.
Many women will take too much of their male friend's time, energy & love, often aware of how they feel about them. This is no one's fault but a simple observation of mine. To a man that doesn't respect himself, he will overly devote everything to her & many women will let them continue this unhealthy behavior because people like attention. I believe some women are unaware they do this but many are also aware of this.
It's no wonder why so many of their male friends are secretly lonely but don't speak on it because it's the only way they do get attention. Please do not demand too much of your male friends' time or love if you know they see you somewhat romantically; it's not good for either of you. If you truly know your male friend is suffering from loneliness, perhaps help boost their self-confidence by introducing them to other women who can return their romantic interest instead of patronizing them in order to temporarily make them feel good. This does not make you a good friend to allow them to behave this way. The temporary feeling will leave them unfulfilled, empty & used as simply a tool for emotional support/attention seeking.
Many women will lead men on to believe they are something more when they don't actually mean it. Some even treat this as a joke and I don't respect that.
Men are humans too & if you want us to respect/defend you, then you should respect/defend our hearts instead of crushing them. Not only is it toxic behavior to lead someone on but selfish as well. You are enabling their loneliness & depression by doing this.
I personally do not believe a male having a sexual attraction to a female friend makes him less of a friend UNLESS he acts & treats her differently according to this feeling. I think it's BS to say that because the reverse assumes there's females that don't have sexual attraction or simply find other males attractive (I don't buy this for one second). I agree, no woman owes a man sex & a man shouldn’t start a friendship off with this intention but a man also does not owe you friendship either. They can give that attention to someone who can return the love they seek & makes them feel fulfilled instead of empty & used, as many lonely males friends feel daily in my experience observing those around me.
Help them instead of making them feel guilty for finding you attractive because that's not exactly something you should be offended over unless they cross that boundary you should create & enforce if necessary. Stop feeding into the toxicity.
Even male friends who do desire to be intimate with you do not have this narrow of a mindset & it actually makes them feel worse when you reduce their intentions to this single point rather than simply asking them how they feel.
Your male friends who want to be with you are DEPRESSED AND LONELY. Show them compassion please.
