I have one female friend (not girlfriend) who I know does by default not interpret any sexual intentions into the actions of males. For example, once she was asked out for a drink by a male stranger, and she did not see the intention behind this. She thought it was just about hanging out. I am not sure how old she was there. When this sort of thing happens a lot to you, then you probably become more aware of it.
That said, when I ask her to meet up, to play chess, she also did not see my intention behind that, and there she was definitely in her twenties. Thought that is just a sample size of one.
Interestingly, it seems that with these sorts of women it is easier to be friends. I definitely also experienced that women would react negatively toward me being friendly. Even if I was just being friendly. Maybe they immediately interpret sexual intentions into my actions and feel the need to make clear their disinterest (this might be unconscious). This could be something as benign as saying “Hi” in a friendly tone of voice. Though I might understand my tone of voice less than the woman. My tone of voice might reveal parts of my mind that I am not aware of, that contain attraction towards the woman.
