When Harry met Sally

I used to think men and women could be friends. I held a long friendship with a man until recently. Now I'm of the opinion that I can be friends with a guy, but I'm not so sure there are many that can be my friend. Unless they are married, and if not, they aren't close friendships. 

99% of men who have been or claimed to have been my friend, have really just been waiting. Waiting until I offer more. If I don't offer more, they eventually stop being my friend. It might take weeks, months or even years, but it happens 99% of the time. This stat could eventually escalate to 100%, but I'm still alive. It's pretty sad.

This habit men have leaves me pretty disgruntled.  More than upset, but genuinely sad. Sad that I lose friendships and that it seems perhaps all I have to offer is my sexuality. It's easy to slip into this thinking when, if I don't offer what that 99% of men want from me, I'm useless and they go away. 

Well fuck. That sucks.
