Yes. I think it's built on mutual respect for each-other. I have a friend that people keep teasing me about, but I would never make a move on him because I know this isn't a good time in his life for that. Yesterday he told me that a kid who had a crush on me asked him how he should approach me. He tried to not encourage it, but the guy did it anyway and I turned him down. We had a good laugh, but I really appreciate him realizing that the guy interested was a bit of a player and respecting me enough to discourage it before it even got to me. Sometimes you and another person get along great, but you aren't compatible for a long-term relationship (ex. you drive each-other nuts, your lifestyles are opposites at home, your goals in life would never match up, etc.) so you end up just being friends.

They don't.

They get touchy, giggly, and dress up nicer when they know they will see him. Or, they ignore him totally while dreaming about him.🤣

they laugh...a lot

Excluding overt sexism, but regarding the subtle sexism like 'you throw like a girl', or even the benevolent like 'watch your language there's ladies present' is so deeply rooted in our society. Men are taught that they shouldn't express their emotions and to 'take care of women' and because of that, I don't think men (generally speaking) are as emotionally and socially aware as we all should be. I'm a women, and experience these subtle sexist things often, but I don't think men are inherently sexist though.

i don't think its that big a deal, its more of like an added bonus if you have them but it doesnt really matter that much.
