Short thought:
A woman is always the center and gets orbited by guys like satellites around a planet. Most of them are betas she calls “friends.” In truth, they are just friendly enough to eventually get a piece.
Especially when she already has a boyfriend, these male friends still stay close. They wait patiently and basically hope it ends with her current partner soon. As soon as she is single again, the messages suddenly come much more often.
“He is like a brother to me” usually means: useful, but not attractive enough.
As long as you are only the nice listener, you remain the orbiter and get used more than actually chosen.
That’s why it pays to work on yourself so you don’t end up in that role.
Have you had similar experiences or know any real counterexamples?
