"He’s your friend only because you have made it absolutely clear that nothing else is happening except this friendship we have. We remain your friends in hopes that one day there’ll be a crack in the door, a chink in the armour," said Steve, according to Complex.

"Notice here, he says he is incapable of that. Then proceeds to say that '99.9 percent of men think this way'. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is called projecting. Thank you for coming to my TED talk."

@tnwhiskeywoman commented:

"Some men really do a disservice to themselves, acting like they have no control over their impulses yet turn around and demand we respect them as leaders."

"It’s just really funny to me how men will say things like this but then be offended when women assume all men want is sex. How is that not a safe conclusion when men *loudly* express they can’t fathom a relationship with women outside of sex?"

@TheFilmNoir_ said:

"But he's wrong in this case."

@CurvyKristeena commented:

"Says the man who's cheated how often now?"

@realsonofisfada added:

"The nerve to say 99.9% of guys with female friends just want to sleep with them. If you’re a pervert, don’t put it on others."
