Some males from Indian cultural backgrounds (patriarchal society) have a high set of expectations from female friends as compared to male friends, which creates a vicious circle of unmet expectations leading to gender bias in friendships giving a lower competitive advantage to females.
If you are a female and you never seem to understand why your male friend suddenly starts showing arrogance, then it might be because you don't fit in their ideal female persona devised by society. So, don't worry! Maybe you can help them understand their implicit behavior or just move on with your life, depending on your likeness to maintain that friendship.
(some expectations include but not limited to caring, nurturing, tidy, gullible)
Note: This is limited to exposure to experiences with men of certain demographics.
