My best friend is a guy, but we initially met romantically and have tried to date a few times in the past. I ended it both times saying I preferred being friends. He crosses the line frequently with jokes (when I'm single) but he's respectful when I'm in a relationship. We've been friends for 10 years, but I do find his jokes annoying. I said something to him about it once and he stopped for a bit but seemed really hurt about it. I felt so bad about hurting his feelings that I haven't said anything again- I just usually ignore the jokes now.
I lightweight think he's secretly in love with me.
Eta: So yes, based on the above I would agree that strictly platonic male friends are rare.
