Can men and women be just friends?

What A Mean Comment...



Cheers Glen.

 

i have loads of ugly female friends.

 

it's not that cruel

we all ideally

want to have sex with attractive people.

that's not to say you can't be friends with these people

just if given half the chance

i'm sure lust would come before friendship.

 

beauty is in the eye of the beholder, beauty is skin deep, unattractive people can be beautiful inside and beautiful people can be ugly inside, just saying

and forgot to add that i voted yes because of course men and women can be just friends, i have many of all sexes.

 

in my life

i have learned that 99.9% of people you meet are complete arseholes

which means there are more ugly people with ugly personalities

than these constantly revered 'unattractive people with the personalities of saints'.

... so what the hell happened??

regardless

because of this - i believe

one might as well relish in somebody else's looks.

i like pretty things.

 

well in my world the percentage of arseholes is very much smaller and i don't believe ive ever met a saint, not yet anyway.
i like a pretty face as much as anyone does except i find that a good personality has far more going for a person than good looks
it's a cruel old world out there nowadays isnt it and as you say, what the hell happened.

 

i just see people as self centered.

but anyways

you do make a lot of sense

however i can't help recall what attracts me to a person

with whom i have never spoken with

from across the other side of a room.

 

Yes, unless the male is sexually frustrated

 

Yeah because it's really common for a guy to feel like he's already had enough sex with beautiful women.

 

Almost everyone ends up with someone who is about equally as attractive as they are. It's just a fact.

 

I'm not sure, I see loads of exceptions as well really.

 

I think that makes sexual tension sound way more tense than it has to be

And if what you say is true, then how come it's proven wrong all the time

Attractive guys and girls hang out all the time


If 2 people are both attractive then they can also get their sex from whomever they choose


As long as one person is not fixated on their friend as a sexual prospect while the other friend is not, there's no harm in a little "tension"


I guess it's easier for me because I'm both female and not at the level of sexiness that tends to get objectified by the mainstream.


I personally find it very comfortable to be able to appreciate a person's sexy qualities without actually *wanting* to jump their bones


In fact, the more in love with life I feel, the sexier *everyone* seems

 

I find it more age dependant, both sexes whinge more as they get older

 

It's been my observation that when one partner is significantly less good looking they usually have something like money to compensate. Of course there are exceptions. It just seems like most of the time.

 

To me it seems otherwise. Perhaps it depends on where we live

 

Of course pheromones and musk can get you both turned on!
It's like a positive feedback loop that can move quickly to the bedroom.
But yeah, you can still say "no" to the body chemistry between you.
If sex should not happen, you do keep a little distance while maintaining the friendship.

 

Yes. Absolutely

 

Yeh of course theres nothing wrong with that unless you have ulterior motives that is. The majority of my friends are female, whys gender even an issue ?

 

I'm sure you understand where the trouble can be coming from

 

My best friend and I are of different sexes and we have been friends for 6 years now it works
