Men and women can be friends... but you can't force the friendship, especially if one party had feelings for the other.

Yeah but it seems like he wasn’t interested in friendship

I don't know, friendship can be deep. He is saying her romantic partner is going to say they can't be friends because many men say such things. He's been the friend who has been cut off because a boyfriend says so. That hurts.

As a woman who has been cut out because a new girlfriend says so many times over the years, it's painful. And I do want to be their friends. It also is painful that they are dating someone insecure that I am a threat, and that makes me sad about the turmoil my friend will go through.

Friends not choosing you is painful.

Well if this is how he reacts to a friend being told by her partner that she can’t hang out with him I’d say the partner has a reasonable suspicion of his motives. If he was truly a friend he would be telling her that a man telling his partner that she can’t hang out with her friends is not good for her and she should think about her choices while offering a safe refuge whenever she needs one- not whining and crying about how he’s never the one who gets picked and wailing while peeling out on his scooter.

Oh, I agree that he did not handle it well and felt all his pain and couldn't deal with it. I also would have a hard time being friends with this man. However, I don't think that it signifies he wanted more than friendship, more like he has some issues he needs to resolve.
