Ladies, am I being too critical of his female friendships?

You men who say there is nothing wrong with it. Good luck finding a girlfriend who will stick around and put up with your BS. Its always the same type of losers who are always single coz theyd prefer to be some girls male girlfriend or emotional tampon than actually have a proper gf who they can do all of that with plus have sex. I call those morons betas. There balls have not dropped yet.

Usually in the case when the guy secretly is in love with his female friend. But she doesn't want him as a boyfriend.

Exactly ^^ thats been my point from the start. He wouldnt want her as a best mate unless he has feelings for her (the only exception is if she looks and acts like a man)

A man or woman can have a best friend of the opposite sex who isn't the person in question's significant other.

Of course they can, but their relationship will never be as fulfilling and wonderful as two partners who are also best friends. I know this from experience :-).
