Seeking advice on how to be a better friend to women
I'm 20 and I'm lucky to have a few solid female friends in my life. I value them a lot, and I want to be a better friend to them to make sure they feel truly seen, heard, and understood.
I've realized that the way I interact with my guy friends doesn't always translate well, and that's okay. I don't want to force a "bro" dynamic where it doesn't fit. I want to understand what makes a friendship with a woman feel supportive, safe, and meaningful from her perspective.
I’m not asking for dating advice or how to get a girlfriend.This is purely about being a better platonic friend.
I'd especially appreciate insights from people 25+ who have more experience with mature, long-term friendships across genders.
