Having female platonic friends or not, its a hard choice, a choice only for guys with extensive dating experience. But for guys starting using that as a strategy often leads to the same old result, knowing a lot of girls, being friendly with them and... getting friendzoned. They stick around with the same girls ALL the time while the girls themselves use them for favors ALL the time and having them around for validation when they approach the High Status guys. The issue with guys making friends with girls when starting out is that they are usually not confident with making the move with girls out of their social circle given that they now have a DHV social circle that involves girls. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by getting into conversations with female 'friends' about sex and dating when you are not actively trying to game them. The advise they give for your dating life is more often than not rubbish and possibly feminist in nature. Get more quality male friends first, they will have your back, you can engage in hobbies and get to know girls in the process.
Even for the experienced guys, rolling with female acquaintances who you are not attracted to can backfire if she suddenly catches feelings or is jealous of the new girl you are dating. Remember that girls will only realize how they feel about you when there is a risk of losing you to someone else. Things are always unpredictable with girls you are interested in, why make it more unpredictable with more females in your life?
There was this 45yr old woman, I was talking to a while back. She was saying how all the 20yr old guys in the club were after sex. Even talking to females a decade or two older than you is not going to help, they start giving you morality lessons if they happen to harbor resentment or intent on gaming/shit testing you instead.
