Women who primarily had male friends, what was the most common type of drama you dealt with?

Gosh I guess bi/pan people just can't have any friends at all then.

Also lesbians? No more female friends. Gay guys? No more male friends. Nonbinary people? Absolutely no friends at all, sit in the corner with the multi-sexuals. (/s if it's needed)

Honestly this take is so childish and sad. If you personally can't have friends without wrapping up your romantic feelings in them, that's something you should work on. It sounds like you struggle with differentiating attention from affection. Your struggle, however, is not something everyone deals with.

Some of us are perfectly adept at being friends with genders to which we are attracted. Understand that your personal experience with life and emotions is not a universal truth, and stop generalizing boring old boomer statements like "men and women can't just be friends" thanks.
