The question above is something that I'm wondering: would it be all right for a MGTOWer to be just friends with women? I have been friends with all sorts of women: mostly in a relationship with their boyfriends or even married ones, and I consider them close friends. Lately, I broke down in tears and was comforted by a good female friend. It does show that even MGTOWers may end up in vulnerable situations where someone could hear our cries of agony. I've learned my own lesson from when I was in high school that it's better to just settle for being friends with women instead of actively trying to seek a romantic relationship, but I'm not sure if that would qualify me for being MGTOW.
Youtuber Sandman has published a video on this topic, titled "Just Friends". It gives a good explanation on whether or not being friends with women while being a MGTOWer at the same time would be worth it. While I can say that having female friends does have its positive side benefits, you may want to draw the line between friendship and closer relationship and making sure that you do not cross that line at all costs! However, there may be risks to having female friends, especially if your friendship may grow closer towards 'more than just friends' phase, something that may eventually kill your status of being a MGTOWer.
If you find yourself being friend zoned, you can take advantage of that status for cultivating better friendships while at the same time resisting the urge to get out of the friend zone. Believe me, if you voluntarily enter the friend zone of a woman you like, chances are that you may actually have a better chance of keeping that woman as a close friend instead of trying to get out. Friend zones are a failsafe method of avoiding romantic relationships because you know very well that the woman who friend zoned you has a better chance of seeking a romantic relationship with a non-MGTOWer than with a friend zoned guy who chose to become a MGTOWer.
Overall, it's okay for a MGTOWer and a woman to be just friends, provided that you're actually in the friend zone because it lessens your risk of getting out of the friend zone and giving in to the temptation of seeking a romantic relationship. I voluntarily entered another woman's friend zone for my own sake because I know too well that the woman that I could be in a relationship with deserves men that are much better and far more successful than I am. I know that I'm selling myself short, but that's the point of voluntary inclusion into the friend zone: when you sell yourself short and lessen your value, you lessen your chances of entering a romantic relationship and have a better chances of surviving as a MGTOWer.

I know that most of my blogs are too short, so in the future I'll try to turn them into essay-like posts for better views.
