Good Question: Can Men and Women Just Be Friends!?

Jul 28, 2012


We’ve Got Questions.  You’ve Got Answers.

 

Harry met Sally and wanted to bang her. In every movie, the girl discovers that her male ‘best friend’ was pining for her all along.  All men know this and some women have figured it out. More research came in and yet there are people who will never believe their “friend” thinks about sex.

Read the new research at dailymail.co.uk. and let us know what you think.

This actually just FML this past weekend. Known the guy for 3 years, neither of us speaking of the attraction between us (he is married and I am in a long term relationship). All of a sudden this weekend we're drinking after a party and he brings it up. I was screaming inside my head "oh no not now! definitely not the time or place or level of sobriety to discuss this!"

If a nice fluffy pillow is in trouble, how can a real live girl stand a chance?

If you genuinely like the woman, its easier not to want to have sex with her.

 

But if she asked, then why say no?

Absolutely! Now stop bothering me. I'm running late for my trip to Saturn.

Sex is always on the table.  Usually the guy tucks it away, and as soon as the woman gives an opening it's on.

No matter the girl, the thought always crosses our minds, it's an automatic impulse that we reject when it comes up, but please believe that it does come up.

Even if a man doesn't fantasize about having sex with a girl friend, he definitely has imagined how she performs in the bedroom.

Women can be friends with men but men cannot be friends with women. Every guy friend I've had that I thought was platonic actually wanted to bone me at some point or another. Women separate men into two catagories; friends and potential dates. Men just categorize women based on how badly they want to fuck them (even if it would take a lot of alcohol and a darkened alley). Because women have more opportunities for sex we have to narrow the pool down to a small group while men can leave it wide open www.laddertheory.com

 @SarahMcSassyPants I'd also add that chicks will associate with a guy if he has something to offer them... drugs, money, favors, free meals, he has a nice car, can fix stuff, if he has status with in a particular group, he's in a scene or band or if he just pretends to listen to her inane babble. And, she may have no intention of either being genuine friends or putting out. A guys only motivation is sex. Unless he's gay. In which case, all bets are off.

Not really.  If you're hanging out with a chick, either you're thinking about banging her, or your chick THINKS you're thinking about banging her.  It's a no-win if you're in a relationship.

 

If you're single, then yeah, it's possible, but usually just to get with her friends.

 

Stepping back into character...  According to my spreadsheet, it's not possible.

Even if your female friend is unattractive, even if you have bigger and better things going on, even if it is definitly never going to hapen, sex is always an elephant in the room.  That's just common sense for most guys.  Don't know why so many women would debate it.  Either in denial or have a super low sex drive.

 @elephant_droid You love you, I love you and Jesus loves you! That's three people right there! Actually, I don't know you...and God doesn't exist.

I think Harry from When Harry Met Sally said it perfectly.

once u realize there is no chance, listening to that whiner bitch about her mother/neighbor/boss isnt quite as interesting no matter how big her tits are

Sure they can, but if either one tries to take it to the next level without the other one feeling the same way the relationship it's over but that's true for a bro-mance also.

I love being friendly with all woman but friends with them; not so much. As an adult i dont have the time to be a friend with a woman that I don't want to engage all of myself with. Strangely, I feel like it would almost be selfish. I mean, when I do have the time I should spend it with my sister. I don't know if my attitude is right or wrong its just how I feel. Its a pleasure to be able to work with lots of women so I get to still be friendly with them regularly without being friends.

No. We will eventually fuck it up and want to sleep with her. That is the way we are wired.

Sometimes, but it still depends on how much alcohol is involved.
