A man with no female friends better have a sister to talk to. It's really difficult for women to find a man attractive if he has no female friends.

It's a really dumb stereotype. Yes, gay men have female friends, but this does not mean that all men who hang out with females are gay.

My only friend is female, and I ain't gay.

It's a total stereotype. I have several male friends, and none of them are gay.

total stereotype, think nothing of it.
actually, i'd become creeped out of a person (male or female) only has friends on a single gender, either their own or the opposite.

Well, if you're constantly going out shopping with them for clothes and doing all sorts of girly things together, there may be some truth to it ...

lol!

Aspie men sometimes have an easier time making friends with women because women have more expressive faces and because some NT women feel safe with the literal way that aspie men interact.

In my experience, NT men who have more female friends than male friends are either sensitive, looking to romance the friends, or are gay.

Not necessarily so! I mostly seek out women as friends and I'm the biggest gynephile you could caper to meet.

I wasn't aware it was considered a stereotype. In my opinion, if a male doesn't have any female friends by choice, then he lives a very narrow-minded and isolated lifestyle.
I'm straight and have more female friends than male. I'm not attracted to them sexually or secretly yearning for a relationship with them. I just enjoy their company.

Could be that a man who prefers women's company and has close female friends is more in touch with his own feminine side than men who have little contact with women, but that doesn't have a clear link with sexuality.

and what interesting is that women who have all or mostly male friends are not consider lesbian.
