Girls can be friends with guys but guys think this a lot like were going to get emotionally attached and guys they don't think we can do so but as a girl who likes music and gaming i get on more with guys than females but because guys feel we can't be a guys friend without gaining some sort of emotional attachment they start freaking out over it, i haven't had a proper guy friend in ages now since i'm older and more guys are showing interest in me, but the fact is when we don't like a guy we MEAN we don't like them but it doesn't mean we can't be friends with them and we will NEVER gain an emotional attachment from it ether because we simply don't connect in that way. Guys these days think "Well we are a male and a female and we're bound to fall in love no matter what you say, so there is no way we can be friends", no... i'm sorry but just because were two different sex's doesn't mean we will fall in love. Why is it so wrong for people to think it's not ok to be friends after a break-up? or are most guys not man enough to handle the fact she was hurt? i feel the majority of guys run away because they feel guilty about the hurt he caused by breaking up with her and it's not unusual that guys regularly run away from their guilty conscious in many different situations, it's just cowardice. A real man would be a girls friend and still be there no matter what, it just shows how much the guy really cared for the girl in the first place. I can understand it when they always fight and can't stand each other but when they broke up on good terms there is no need to run out of fear, us women are fair when it comes to relationships, a lot fairer than men can be that's for sure.

Because girls can be friends with a guy without being sexually attracted to him. At that point, you're pretty much like a woman in a man's body. Except with a male brain. So you have give her many advantages as a friend; in particular, a fresh perspective and slice of life that is separate from her female friends.
It's like this: Imagine one of your male friends, especially the way you feel towards him (totally unromantic, right), and whatnot. Now put those feelings on a girl you have no sexual interest in. You could bring up the same topics of conversations as you would with your male friend, but she'll give you different responses, because she's a woman and estrogen through her body.
That's how a girl feels about her guy friends-- At least, that's how I feel about MY guy friends. Which I don't have any of... And the few I do, are married. :(
I don't stay in contact with ex's. I see no point in it. I mean if I run into an ex, I'm cordial but that's it. As far as I'm concerned when a relationship ends, it ends.
Many guys, apparently you also, see an ex as a past sexual partner, but not someone that you had a deeper relationship with. Once broken up, you see no more sex and feel no more friendship. Many women have a deeper emotional feeling about most relationships. Once she realizes the romantic, sexual part is over, she still remembers the emotional attachment and wants to keep that guy as a special, but not romantic, friend. She has been close, trusting, and intimate with him, and casting that aside would be denying that it was true feelings.

Because most of us are sweet. We love to be around people, we cherish our friends. And it started with a friendship, why not end it in a good way? Good or bad break up, it doesn't mean the girl didn't love you. Loosen up, you'll get over it. :) If you don't want to be friends with her just tell her and block her or whatsoever
Sounds like you're really frustrated. I know, girls are messed up. Including me. I think what girls look for in relationships is a friend first and then someone to be with romantically. So I guess they still want their exes to be friends with them even though it won't work out romantically...? Idk. You kinda stumped me too.
The reason we ask to be friends is because at some point in the relationship, we get attached and we want you close by if we end up realising our mistake and want you back (only if you want to). It also eases our minds knowing that you're still around. I don't know why, it just does. And it also makes it so that it doesn't just end with a bang. It allows it so that you guys steadily stop talking, not all at once
Mostly girls want to stay friends because they still love you and don't want to hurt your feelings but it was just maybe better that way.
I have never done this myself, but I think it's our genders lame attempt at trying to make things okay, and end on a good note.
I never remain friends with an ex.
It's a lie we tell people so they feel better
Cus you love them so much that you don't want them to leave you
TL;DR
They need an emotional tampon.So he could still do stuff for me.
We don't
