Episode notes
Her Anxiety Can Be Valid
- Women reasonably fear opposite-sex friendships because many men in those friendships often want sex.
- Recognize her concern as valid even if you personally don't feel sexual interest.
Reassure And Include Her
- Compliment your girlfriend's attractiveness often if she compares herself to your female friends.
- Include her in inside jokes and shared memories to reduce emotional distance with your friends.
Demonstrate Balanced Friendships
- Show you befriend both sexes and aren't exclusively close to women to reduce suspicion.
- Frame female friends as sources of social information who make you a better partner.
