Mates, Friends, and Relationships

As all things are subject to inflation, sadly, so are my prices. With the raise in my cost of living, commission prices have gone up, see footer below.
I've been thinking a bit about some things lately, and I realized I have reached an impasse.
I do not list a mate, nor do I claim one, as I prefer solitude, most times, to any kind of company, but I do, however have a good many friends I chit with online, and at conventions.
I've begun to notice and wonder a fair bit about the driving force behind the concept of a straight male, as myself, simply befriending a straight female.
This equation should be something simple, but I've found on many occasions that the female finds it necessary to guard up and flatly announce "I'm not looking for a, b, or c."
It may seem to make normal sense at first look, but consider, if I befriend a gay male, or even a straight male, that line never comes up.
There's this unsettling expectation from the female that because a kind word, or some silliness is offered, that there's some kind of driving desire to jump into the sack. It's mildly frustrating to attempt to even explain anything once that has been brought up, because it starts to sound like placating lipservice, instead of honesty.
Makes me think we need to take a hard look at ourselves and how we really choose to interact with one another.

Its sad really
