For whatever reason, Homeland Security refuses to confiscate Cam Newton's mic and camera, so he's still out here talking and causing confusion.

Most recently, he commented on being friends, well, more specifically, not being friends, with attractive women, which has the girlies in an uproar.

Apparently, Newton is in full Gaga, "Bad Romance" mode and had to let the pretty girlies know he has no use for female companionship for the sake of.

Assuming most of you don't speak elitist brute, I'll translate his sentiments: If you're attractive and I know you in any capacity, I want to have sex with you.

Full stop.

Now, many women seem surprised, and I have no idea why. Men don't choose friendship with attractive women; they settle for it.

If you have a bunch of platonic male friends, how did you meet them? Let me guess: you guys connected at some point after they expressed some attraction or interest towards you, right?

Maybe you saw him at a gas station, or work, or at the club, or the library, or the grocery store, and they shot their shot in one way or another. Either by complimenting you, sparking up a conversation, offering to help you, or something along those lines, right?

Now, why do you think that is? Again, there's no need to answer, because I've already told you: they want to sleep with you!

Men can be friendly, and sometimes they become really good at that role, but when the opportunity presents itself, they rarely turn it down.

And opportunity is the same as tragedy in some languages, so I'm going to need y'all to stop being naive. You think, "Oh, we were just friends, and I accidentally slept with him," after my mom passed away, or after I divorced my husband, or after you had surgery, or whatever it was.

It wasn't an accident; these men pretend to be friends until they get what they want, and only after that will you see what their true intentions are.

It's only confusing when you were foolish enough to believe he was ever your friend, to begin with. If he was genuinely the friend you thought he was, why would he do things like wait until you're going through it to try to have sex with you?

Resurrecting Madonna Whores

Now, if you're dead set on having platonic male friends, you need to go for men who won't even look your way. And even that's risky because having a type is not always a thing, and you'd be surprised how far out of their "type" men will go when they're trying to… let's say… stroke some keys.

In case you're unfamiliar, the Madonna-Whore complex is a real thing. Per Very Well Mind, it's defined as follows: a construct of male psychology that constrains female sexuality by categorizing a woman as either pure and good or promiscuous and bad, which negatively impacts the mental well-being, sexual function, and relational health and intimacy of all genders.

In other words, men either want to sleep with you or they want to be friends with you. They sexualize the women they want to sleep with, and see all other women as basically asexual people who they could never touch with a ten-foot pole. Dare to dream, eh?

So, yes, even if they don't always say it or act on it, if a man shows interest in you and you're not related and don't at least have familial ties, it's almost always because they want to have sex with you. The women who don't fit into that category have a much better chance of bonding on a real level, because to be around those women, they have to have some real interest or investment in them as a person. Imagine that!

And, I'm sure, it's around now that many of you are finally understanding why you may have had a platonic male friend whom you wanted more with. In those cases, you may feel like you are truly besties, and he may truly respect you and hold you in high regard. So, why wouldn't he want to turn that into a relationship, right? Wrong!

If you have a genuine friendship with a man who is heterosexual but never seems to make a move, flirt, or show interest on any level, it's because he's literally just not that into you.

Sometimes these things do change over time, but if you have been wasting your time trying to get a man to ask you on a date, you are better off friend-zoning him and calling that guy back who annoyingly calls you and seems overly invested in your so-called "friendship."

Also, there are some situations where the man won't sleep with you because of the circumstances. Maybe one or both of you are married, or you are far too young. These are men who may still get the urge but have drawn a hard line in the sand and decided that even though they would enjoy it, it's not worth the consequences.

Bottom Line

Women need to wake up and smell the Red Bull. Just because he seems innocent and helpful doesn't mean this man wants to be your compadre.

And honestly, taking him up on his offers to help you will often lead to the darkest of spaces, because when he doesn't get what he wants, he will throw everything he's ever done for you back in your face, or even worse, try to coerce you into it. Some even go so far as to spread your business and try to ruin your reputation because they're salty that they never got their chance.

The one thing I commend Cam Newton on is the fact that he's honest. Men like him are far less likely to seek revenge or blindside you because they stated their intentions from the beginning.

And, indeed, if I'm going to call out jerks like Cam Newton and the red-pillers, I also need to point out that hiding your intentions for extended periods is also a character flaw.

But you don't have to take my word for it; if you keep men around long enough, they will reveal themselves.

Don't act like I never told you.
