There is no such thing as a single, hetero guy who is "just friends" with an attractive girl. Guys aren't designed that way - we don't have a "just want to be friends" classification for girls. We put girls in 3 categories when it comes to personal relationships:
- Girls I have feelings for and want a relationship with.
- Girls I don't have feelings for but find physically attractive and thus want to bang.
- Girls I don't find physically attractive and thus want nothing to do with.
Does anyone see "just want to be friends with" on that list? Nope. It isn't there. Do not be fooled.
A guy who is gay, asexual, or happily in a committed relationship can (sometimes) be "just friends" with a girl, but a single straight guy? You've got better odds of winning the Lotto.
For the whole 3 years of our friendship I was in a relationship so I guess I was safe to just be friends with. Now recently single is it likely then he won't want to be friends with me if he doesn't think of me in a sexual way?
It usually doesn't work that way. Rather, the guy is "friends" with you hoping that he'll eventually get you in bed. Now that you're single, he's hoping you "see that he's a good guy" and give him a shot. I'm not saying that stuff like that actually happens very often - it's the exception when it does - but in his mind, he's hoping that it will happen.
If you were to kill all hope - by telling him that you don't see him that way and nothing will EVER happen between you - then you'll see him fade away... BECAUSE you'll have destroyed his primary reason for hanging around with you (the hope of eventual sex or even eventual relationship).
Such guys will stay in your orbit for years, even decades sometimes, hoping for a chance. He may have other girls in a similar situation, hoping one of them gives in - but you need to understand that guys need a reason to make the effort to be friends with a girl (most are very needy), and (the hope of) sex is that motivation.
That's not true for every male. My best friend has been a girl since kindergarten, and even when I wasn't dating anyone in middle or high school, I just wanted to be friends with her. She is attractive as well by the way. Now we're both in relationships with other people.
Thanks for your reply, I love hearing how guys think because they can be hard to understand. Unfortunately it is the reverse here. He told me he loved me while drunk and then that he sees me as a friend a week later so now we are just friends. I guess maybe I have to much baggage or he doesn't see me as a long term partner. It's very hard to understand him
@Billybob46 A few exceptions always exist, but that doesn't disprove the rule.
Someone wins the Lotto almost every week, too - but that doesn't mean you should run up your credit cards on the ultra-remote chance that you'll win this week and will be able to pay them off. Similarly, girls can safely assume that their guy friends want to fuck her (and in some cases want a relationship with her), because the vast majority of the time, they'll be right. You won't be successful playing the exception against the rule very often.
@Asker There are some things I don't get about women. Like how some get a new boyfriend a week after they break up with their ex.
I think a lot of women like the security of being in a relationship. Personally I have always been in relationships and I am now enjoying life as a single person however I can't help it if I start to have feeling for someone. Sorry I don't really know why we do what we do 😁
Yea, women like that aren't my type personally.
That's fair enough.
thank you sir, I've preached it all day, honesty is best
Me and my best girl friend are strictly friends and she's made it clear that she doesn't want a relationship. The thing is, at one time she had a crush on me when I didn't and vice versa. So under extremely unusual circumstances we are friends. I'll say though, every once in a blue moon some sexual energy does rise a bit. But it's rare. Essentially, a guy and a girl can be friends with no intention of dating. But I do believe sexual energy can and often will arise even if it's only for seconds
@cutegirl135. She just won't come off that pussy for ya huh? Man be real you know you're tryn to fuck? Stop
this does apply to most guys, but definitely not all and certainly not so few that it is comparable to winning the lottery other than in your mind.
The issue with your answer is suggesting that a man is gay or asexual if he's friends with women he doesn't want to sleep with. It definitely makes you look ignorant af.
Of course this is typical guy stuff. That is because all of those male "friends" of yours , if both of you were single, would have sex with you if you offered. That is why men and women are not "best friends'. yes you can be friendly, but "Friends" don't want to fuck each other. No, it doesn't matter if you don't think of them that way. Guaranteed, every one of them jacked off while thinking about you being naked at least once.
Does it really mean you can't be "friends?" Okay yes, I understand what you're saying, but lets wait a second, and decide to "question everything." If it's just in us men to always be down for sex no matter the girl, should we really define a male-female relationship as less than "friends" if the guy is willing to have sex with her? Maybe it's just a silly way of thinking we should stop doing. I don't know I'm theorizing here so don't get yallz panties in a bunch I don't know if people have crazy views written in stone about this shit lol.
I was wearing a V-neck shirt one day with a big necklace. My guy friend said "I wish you wouldn't wear that necklace with a V-neck shirt. It makes me want to stare at your boobs and its distracting." And he also commented on the big rhinestones I had on the back pockets of my jeans which means he was looking at my butt. So I say yeah, they do check out female friends.
According to my boyfriend, yeah he does, but not constantly. More like, acknowledging. I personally think it's normal.
But at times it can turn into a rather uncomfortable situation... like when my friend overheard that her bestfriend jerked off while imagining her. That's quite awkward.
I've caught a lot of my guy friends checking me out (they think they're being discreet about it lol but it's pretty obvious). Some have even tried some light flirting.
No harm in it though. I guess guys just can't help it. They're visual creatures.

Yes, we're visual. I catch myself looking even when I don't want to necessarily (not interested in the person) or it's really inappropriate. It's automatic sometimes and I don't even realize until after that I've done it. lol. You friend, it could be just that, or maybe he likes you more than just friendship? Only he could say for sure.
The thing is that psychologically, guys have a hard time trying not to "check out" a girl... It's generally normal... but you do have to be on a lookout for any potential jerk coming your way. Having said that, I believe that it is "okay" up to some extent... but if it's in excess then, that is where it would become weird. And it is also possible that he isn't exactly looking out there. So overall, I think it is kind of normal, but not if it's in excess.
Yes. Men have varying levels of testosterone during the day/week. Testosterone causes sex seeking behaviour and as such the male body involuntary responds to sexually attractive features. Pupils widen, heart rate increases, and men will focus on those features more.
Yep. Always. It's a biological thing, for men. We're always looking for suitable mates, in order to continue the human species. Even friends are evaluated/considered. Generally speaking, men simply look for different qualifying and disqualifying traits than women do.
I check out a tree if it had an interesting crotch and bent over in front of me. Men experience testosterone constantly swimming through their bloodstream and are almost always checking things out. It doesn't necessarily mean anything. Women taking testosterone to become men have experienced the same thing and expressed shock at how overwhelming the drive of testosterone is.
I'm a girl and I check out other girls too. It's part of our nature to check out others. Boys are a lot more sexually charged than us so im sure it's pretty normal for them to check you out if you're attractive.
No , not me , no longer hormonally charged & have dropped a lot of my former female friends , as A FT working single dad , can't stand and have no time for petty drama. The few I have are decent & supportive & there is not an iota of attraction either way.
weeell, if I look repeatedly, I look because I want a piece of that female friend.
I was looking at this female friend's ass repeatedly. She was liking it. she asks if her ass looks ok.
I told her that I'd need to exemplify what I believe of her derriere. She laughed.
Happened recently, I believe I have a chance. Taking it slow, not rushing things. But her ass is driving me crazy and that's why I'm looking at it.
yes, even if we think sexual or not about them we are gonna check them out.. and we will peek if they show us cleavage, or that cross leg see panties. does not mean we will be unfaithful but like someone said we are visual, it like catching us looking at girls online or mags
This will always happen. Even if he is not interested or attracted to you. I think most men are programmed to hyper-focus on women's body parts. Which is where the controversy of objectification comes from. I wish sometimes we didn't notice these things- but it's like a biological scanner that has a mind of its own. Acting upon it is much easier to control- which is why he might look but not take any steps in that direction.
All of my male friends do that lol It actually lifts my spirtis because I'm self confident about myself.
I recently gained 100 pounds. I was telling my guy friend how skinny I used to be and I feel gross now. He said I was thick in all the right places. I think it's clear he hasn't checked me out before, or he wasn't lying to make me feel better. He openly admits to checking out girls lol.
here we go again... I wish I had a billboard... ladies there is no such thing as a guy considering you "just friends" bullshit!!! you either have money, a couch, or he wants nookie. period the end, checkmate.
It can work. If one of them is ugly :'D :'O
but know the intent is still lurking, I didn't say it would happen... but he wants it too
and to even accept or pretend that the word platonic is a real word is naive and absurd
I don't know any guys who would want to sleep with an ugly girl.
yes you do!!! if you know a male of the human species!!! look alcohol has been getting ugly girls pregnant for centuries and yes if you know a guy then you know a guy that has already fucked a bowling show ugly swamp donkey. they may try to lie about it. but it's fact
poor girl is naive. ...
ohhh... my bad.. you're 18. find a 38 year old or older woman and have her explain.
yeah, but since its often n he's ur "best friend" u shud re-examine that friendship. it all depends on who/how he is n how ur figure n ur butt look like.
I "had" a female friend. I was always checking her butt when she turned around. Notice how I wrote "had" :)
Look at all the comments. Once again, guys and girls can never be simple friends. There is always a natural attraction there!
Apart from with a Gay guy and a Lesbian girl. My bestfriend is gay.
@RachelleDraws Deep down you confuse him, LOL!
I confuse most people.
@RachelleDraws Good! Keep the wondering! Keep them on their toes!!!
It is typical guy stuff but a lot times females would look at our package as well to see what we have.
You can't even tell from looking at a guy with clothes on how big his package is though
Haha, I'll have to pay more attention I think.
Yeah, guys don't make friends with girls they wouldn't want to bang. The only reason guys are friends with girls is in hope that they could potentially sleep with her at some point.
Not always. I have a few guy friends. All of which are gay.
Well yeah I was referring to heterosexual guys
It can work. If the girl is ugly 😰
All the time, if they're hot. If they aren't hot, then no not really.
Of course they do. They are not made of stones. lol My guy friends used to grab my butt or smack it. So i do the same thing to them
Yep I check out all of my female friends usually every time I see them. They rarely catch me unless I want to be caught. Usually I start to get more blatant about it when they get more blatant about it.
Yes, but not all the time. Even though they're friends, they still have girl equipment, and I can't help myself.
You should feel very flattered that he checks out your breasts and butt because he finds you desirable 😉
Yeah it is typical guy stuff lol 😂 😜
Of course. Why do you think there's attraction in the first place.
And explains why there's no such thing a man-woman 'platonic' friendships - one or the other will always want more.
A girl I like, I told her, I was checking her out all night, she was flattered, but, the problem is, she has a boyfriend.. why though then, was she flirting with me the entire night, and also gave me her number, when I asked for it
Maybe things aren't good with the boyfriend and she likes you.
She said last night that she "respects him a lot"
Yet she flirts with you... if she isn't going to leave him then maybe steer clear of her so that you don't get your heart broken.
She flirts with me, while having a boyfriend. That's called cheating
Then maybe she wouldn't make a good girlfriend for you either. How much do you like her?
A lot
Well all you can do is tell her how you feel and that you want to be with her and then the ball is in her court after that.
But I can'ttttttt... don't you get it. She's got a boyfriend, and she's still flirting with me
I know she has a boyfriend so tell her that you like her and then distance yourself from her. That way she knows how you feel and you have given her some distance to think on it all.
But it's not fair to her then, because she wants me as a friend, ya know?
Besides, I like her attention
Then at this stage all you can do is be her friend and try to shut off the feelings that you have for her until she becomes available.
Which likely, won't happen.. I mean if she "respects her boyfriend a lot", right?
Yeah I really don't know what to say. The easiest thing at this point is to try and move on from her I would say. You need to protect your own feelings first
I've tried making her jealous too. But, it's difficult when you live at least 1000 miles apart. Anyway, she's trying to tell me how to get this girl near me, but, I get the feeling she's trying to screw me over
I don't know why she would do that. Maybe just go with it and see what happens
Oh, you'd be surprised what women are capable of.. trust me
So why don't you just stop talking to her then?
Easier said than done, right?
Yes but if you don't want to tell her how you feel and don't think she will leave her boyfriend what choice do you have
She's going to lose one of us either way, right? If I get rejected, I leave, if he breaks up with her/if she breaks up with him, he leaves. It's kind of a crap shoot for me. This way, staying, and getting the attention I like.. keeps her from losing either.. until she decides what she wants to do.
I've even told her. I will not leave her, until she says "creep", or "go away". And even if she's saying it in like, a playful way or whatever.. to a guy, that means, you crossed a line, and I should respect what she says. If she wants me back, she could then come back to me, but, if she says those things, don't expect me to come crawling back to her
crap shoot for her*, is what i meant
If that's works best for both of you go for it, it won't be an easy road though and someone's feelings will get hurt and they will likely be yours sorry to say 😥
Maybe so, but, I can enjoy the attention while I'm at it.. ya know.. we both win. I get the attention, she gets to stay with him
If that what works go for it and I hope it works out for you 🙂
Anyway, I hope you sort of got what I was trying to say in my original answer.. if we check you out, we find you attractive, and want to at least talk to you
well yes it is normal (animal nature )
all depends on how and what they do after getting caught 😅😅
yup we can't really help it. it just happens. If it's someone we shouldn't be checking out we stop as soon as we notice.
Yes, if they are attractive or have features I find appealing. It would be silly not to.
Sometimes, though not all the time. A pretty girl is still a pretty girl.
More so I take notice and acknowledge lol. But yes, just not all the time.
Yes, but you have to understand how little that means. We check out *every* girl.
there are rarely any true friends of the opposite gender. really rarely.
I think that's typical. The important thing is to not be too obvious or creepy about it.
Sometimes. But I've mastered the art of not getting caught.
Simples...
Yup. I could have no romantic or sexual feelings for them and still check them out.
Hell, I used to catch myself checking out my guy friends, not to mention my girl friends.
He's hardly your friend just a guy that wants to fuck yoh and foolishly thinks listening to your problems and drama will get him laid.
Yes. The odds are if you are friends with a guy, he will find you attractive. Hence he checks you out.
you sure he doesn't like you , and i dont mean in the bestfriend way. i mean in the would she ever be mine way
Yeah but I've fucked most of them already or done 4 play with them so doesn't really matter
Occasionally but I usually feel like a bit of an ass afterwards.
Well, yes and no. Quite some are attractive, but it wouldn't feel right to ask them for being friends with benefits
we check out all girls friend or not , if we can bang her we will sex is much stronger than any friendship
I don't believe that, honestly.
people like you make us look bad. you may check out all girls, but speak for yourself
you are not a guy, you are called a slob where I am from. Also, Im not insecure that I have to let everyone know my sexuality by drooling over every female that passes me. have some self respect LOL
you probably check out women at the retirement home too lmao
you sound really dumb right now lol. im a white knight because I dont check out every girl? dude, you are setting your species back 2000 years. Go eat dirt.
actually They do pretty often, still does not have anything to do with you being a slob who goes for every girl he sees.
you aren't even a good troll LOL, you fail so badly. Ill give you a 2/10 for trying though
troll attempt 1/10. try harder next time
goddamn your a dick your not a man your a spoilt boy a man treats women and men with respect
That sex is stronger than any friendships one might have.
im not saying I dont look at any women that I am attracted but you said ''all girls'' there is just a certain line your cross where it just comes off as pervy
don't have any female friends but sometimes if there's a girl I know you'll be walking one way and you find yourself staring at her butt.
If I'm attracted her then yes, but I never get caught 😏
go stand in front of her don't be nervous let the air out then ask her out
@ValerieLin Thanks, but just because I check them out doesn't mean I wanna date them.
hahahaahahah okay
Yes, exept for the real friends, as in like some of my best friends
Sorry girls but i do
I only have one female friend who is Through online x
I don't currently have any female friends who are attractive in that sense but if I did I would
no definitely not same goes for siblings parents children
yea a bit but its not like I am fantasizing about them
Can't check out my female friends if I don't have any in the first place.
Sorry, but that happens. Some times it's not even intentional.
Yes of course! Most of my friends are female and without question each one has been filtered through a yes, no or maybe filter.
Yes, I do! I also sneak a whiff or two of their undies and other girly things when they're not around...
every once in a while I can't help it, but I try not to.
Once I decide that I would not be interested in her for a LTR then I don't check her out anymore.
dont take offwnce to it its thats pretty much how we are wired..
I am not surprised when they do.
Men afterall are visual creatures lol 😂
@TaureanBull81 that is true. :) Are the females visual or intellectual creatures? :D
Females are very subtle when it cums to being a visual creature plus you are intellectual creatures as well 😉
@TaureanBull81 On point. ( I noticed ) hahah :D
Why thank you @aminature 😉
@TaureanBull81 You are welcome, :)
I've sent you a follower request 😆
@TaureanBull81 Yeah I see that. Thanks for stalking :D ( mean it in a nice way)
maybe he is looking at your heart, it's not his fault your tits are in the way
of course they do, and I don't care when they do it
go chew gum we dont care
