Guy friends who catch feelings

Alright so tonight I would like to express my feelings towards "guy friends who catch feelings."  I've had quite a few close guy friends in my life because let's face it, sometimes girls are annoying. Sometimes a girl just wants to play video games or build campfires or do stupid idiotic things without having to listen to drama the whole time. Plus, it's nice to have a few dudes there to stand up for you like your big brother when you need them.
However, somewhere along the lines, guys have a tendency to forget the whole brother/sister relationship that once was and they get this crazy idea that their best girl friends will one day be their GIRLFRIENDS. Let me say from experience that the world is not a typical rom-com and usually if a girl has always hung out with you in her pjs and stuffs her face with junk food and farts in your presence, she is friend zoning you. She doesn't even have to be that way either though. If she ever uses the word "friend" or "pal" or "bud" with you she is using it to purposely friend zone you.
Now I'm sure there are some relationships that stem from best friendships but never in my life have I wanted to date one of my guy friends unless I initially had feelings for them.
The worst part of the confused guy friend is when they become delusional and think that you two have "hooked up" or even have come close for that matter. They continue to tell all their friends that you two have totally slept together. Lying about getting with a girl doesn't make you cool; it makes you delusional, and I feel sorry that you have to make up fake stories about getting laid. What is the deal with that? Does that make a man feel manlier? So annoying.
The sad thing is that this situation has happened to me several times. It's like it's impossible to have a friend of the opposite sex.
