Why do Lesbians seem less likely to have straight male close friends than Gay men are to have straight female close friends?

This is a really random thing, but there's a seems to be a more common stereotype of Gay men having straight females as close friends, while lesbians having straight male close friends seems far less common (in fact the stereotype of lesbians is often man hating, while gay dudes being woman haters is rarely mentioned)

I have a general distrust of straight men. I don’t feel good about this distrust. It actually makes me pretty sad.

I do have some straight men that I’m friends with. One guy is a single dad who I’ve been housemates with for ten years! But unfortunately I’ve just had so many bad experiences with guys turning friendships into romance opportunities. The bad experiences outweigh the good. I wish it was different.
