Re: Can guys and girls be just friends?
[ QUOTE ]
Straight men cannot really be friends with women. Not the same as they are friends with their male buddies. Leykis 101. Mandatory listening. [/ QUOTE ] This is, of course, absolute crap. Some of my best "buddies" are female. Even ones I find attractive! Crazy, isn't it? Some of us are actually capable of getting past that. The problem is that neither the people who can't get past that nor the people who can are capable of understanding each other, and thus spend time yelling at each other and quoting romantic comedies instead of just realizing that people are different from each other.

[/ QUOTE ] I would submit that if you *knew* there was no chance of having sex with these women, and if you *knew* there was no chance of meeting their female friends, you would no longer be friends with them.

Re: Can guys and girls be just friends?
[ QUOTE ]
Anyone who disagrees with this is absolutely full of it. Imagine you are very hungry and your job is to deliver pizza. You understand that you are not allowed to eat the pizza, even though in theory you could, it is just not worth it. That's why you don't. If a miracle happened and for some reason the pizza became yours you would certainly bite the crap out of it. [/ QUOTE ] As a delivery boy, this taunts me almost every day.

Women can, men can't. [/ QUOTE ] I love how people make these blanket statements about what people absolutely cannot do based on a sample size of 1.

Re: Can guys and girls be just friends?
[ QUOTE ]
Women can, men can't. [/ QUOTE ] This is so un- founded. Society likes to put up the impression that women have better sexual control than men, and to counter- act this argument, I would like to state a study. A male and a female was hooked up with sensors on their genitals and head. They were asked to watch several porns: male- female; female- female; male- male; animal- human; animal- animal (not porn, I know) As was "expected" the male admitted being turned on my the straight and lesbian porns, and the microbes confirmed this. The woman said that she was turned on only by the straight porn, but the microbes told a different story. She was actually turned on by all the sex, even the bestiality and the animal sex. Since your a woman, explain this for me. This does flow over into life, as well, I have met (and roomed up with) more than one woman who said there was "nothing" sexual, they belonged to such and such, etc, but oddly, she made it plainly obvious that she liked me. Just her blatant words and denial is what stopped me. I believe that it is possible for men and women to be just friends, and although I have tried this more than once, I have yet to find proof. ETC: I have several freinds who tried this and they have found that sex inherently got in the way, and I do have a few gay friends who said the same thing about their friendships with women.

Re: Can guys and girls be just friends?

Women can, men can't. [/ QUOTE ] You've taken a lot of heat for that statement, but there is some truth behind it. Saw this on a documentary on discovery. The reason why some men struggle to be faithful is our instincts. Men have an urge to better the chance of having offspring by inpregnating as many women we can. Of course, human beings developed the abilty to ingore instincts and chose logic and morals to guide our actions. The point is, the wanting to have sex thing can be in the back of the males mind when its not in the females.
