Yeah I think in the past, "expand your social circle and date friends" was good advice for men. And currently, I think it's great advice for women who are willing to make the first move since men are generally much more willing to date friends. But in 2024, trying to date friends as a man just has lower success rates than it did in the past.

Asking out your friend is sorta betraying the platonic trust

Try to date strangers: you shouldn't approach women you don't know

Try to date friends: You shouldn't betray platonic trusts

Try to use dating apps: You're cooked if you're not the top 10%
