I think it's because women are very specific when it comes to how a man looks or acts, so when these guys are rejected they probably think the girl doesn't think he's "manly" enough, and that's the easiest way to hurt a man. The reason why men may act more offended in such situations could simply be because men are more competitive among each other, so it's not about the girl, it's about how her views on him could affect his status in society
The evidence for the fact that men are judged more harshly lies in porn, there's really only one type of guys in porn, while there are all types of women in porn except for the completely shapeless, then there is open racism in porn done by porn sites like BLACKED. com, which basically pits white guys against black guys, and you've got everyone in porn with dicks that are so much bigger than the average dick, etc
For the record: I'm neither white, nor really a guy
Yes, we most definitivly can be friends with girls... That said, things can quickly get... complicated... with a boyfriend involved... Even if we do *not* want to get into a particular girls pants that doesn't mean that her boyfriend might not *feel* that we may... That said, I'd probably handle the situation differently from your male friends...
They can it's just most guys are dogs and only out for one thing! Or they break it off thinking your boyfriends gonna get upset and confront them... I know from this happening to me that one of my best friends s. o. said there no way we could be just friends that there's more going on!
I have plenty of genuine friends who are girls. It just really depends. I've also pretended to be a girls friends when I really wanted to date her. I regret doing that. Men and women can absolutely be friends
a lot of guys don't realise how important to have a female friend , I myself have a lot and they are friends nothing more like I'd even feel weird to think about it this way , after all it teaches you a lot about women and how to deal with them for men with minimum experience
Tbh I agree with him. All your pics are a little too much. I dont know why you'd want so much of yourself displayed online to creeps. And if you're cool w that on the internet, i can only imagine inrl. Even your question about your shirt was tasteless and attention seeking. Pretty hard to have a valid opinion on a topic like this when thats the case. & its not like woman can't show cleavage in pics. But its trashy and tasteless pics.. the face is over edited but men see a woman who tosses her tits out there & what do you honestly expect to happen? They respect you? No.
Yes but they shouldn't have to eventually find out on their own. They likely started talking to you because they were interested and not being single will make them move on. They'd need to know in the beginning so they can make up their mind on whether or not friendship is what they are looking for in you and that they'll be satisfied with just that with you. I hang out with the guys but female friends are a ton of fun too. I also managed to keep some girls I've dated as friends, which has worked out well. I'd explain gently that I didn't find what I was looking for in them but we have a lot of fun together and they respected that. Sometimes if we're both single, we take advantage as friends with benefits. If either of us are in a relationship, we totally respect each other and only communicate as friends. I've found it pretty easy to do and it's refreshing to just cut through the BS and be drama free.
Hi. Sorry. But just to clearify (and i said this to someone else too) im a vet assistant& dog handler. These guys run into me usually because of that& i tend to be extra friendly with other dog owners because it helps my job. Theyll run into me on the street with dogs normally as theyre walking their own. & thats how itll start. After a while theyll run into me with no dog & my boyfriend there. Its NOT relevent to bring up my boyfriend. Especially because i only talk & get friendly because their pet & my job. And my relationship and career dont go hand in hand.
Gotcha, makes sense. Glad that's the case, by the way. Seemed like you were kinda leading them on but I get it now. Still, they were looking for more than friendship and that's all. It's not your fault or theirs, just not in the same place. But it's definitely possible, I can attest to that. Sounds like it's rare but I've enjoyed it so far. If you're comfortable with it, possibly try throwing it out there somehow. Like if you talk about your dog, maybe say it's yours and your boyfriend's dog. Only if it fits into the conversation, like you said, it's not generally relevant, but it could help.
Friendship is based on mutual respect, a true friend is someone who will be hard on you when you are doing wrong but who will forgive you each time, it doesn't mean you have to accept its desires any time specially if you are a girl, there are some rules to be established and followed, friend zone only, no shameful remarks in front of others, no attacks toward the family, and then friendship is possible
A lot of guys tend to be a little playful with girls if it's not physically touching and word games and out of precautions when a girl is taken they avoid that almost at all costs to avoid drama so it's kind of self-explanatory. but it's difficult to pinpoint the reason why they become strangers I said being so friendly with you it just depends on the intention of the person
Every guy has a different mindset. Some just want to bang or want a girlfriend but there are few who really want to be just a friend. you can definitely find one if u keep trying and now if u know very well the mindset of former ones then you can easily find out who wants what
I have female friends that I'm not interested in. A lot of the time a guy will stop being your friend when they find out you have a boyfriend is because they know how they'd feel if their girlfriend was hanging around with a dude a lot.
I think guys-or anybody in general- that think men and women cannot be friends are extremely immature and ignorant and also just very horny. Most of my most trusted and most valued friends have always been guys and yes while they may have attempted to pursue me at first or have probably had sexual thoughts of me they respected the friendship too much and that's what i appreciate most. So, to answer your question: yes men and women can absolutely be just friends.
Honestly, usually they're not. In my experience most guys don't care about about being friends with or hanging with women like they do their male friends. None of my friends have female friends and don't usually hang out with women unless she's his girlfriend or sex is involved. Gay guys usually have tons of female friends though.
I don't think I could take a guy seriously who doesn't want to have female friends. Same goes for women who don't want to have male friends. It's just very silly and makes me question their maturity.
I was always intrrested in being friends with a girl. A guy may have only one girlfriend. But he may have a lot of female friends who are not controlling and don't care if you sleep with anyone or not. They can always give you an advice. That's awesome.
Its really hard to tell sometimes. I really like my girl friend but I don't wanna lose having her there. so I try to be a good friend to her bc she needs that more than a relationship. Some people can see that I like her but I still try to keep my distance and not get too close. I really do like her but keep her at a distance. She sometimes thinks I'm an asshole for doing that but id rather be the bad guy than ruin our friendship.
To my knowledge and experience - absolutely yes. Doesn't sound like particularly awesome guys. Perhaps you can save yourself disappointments like that if to make it clear earlier on that you are looking for a friendship and/or that you have a boyfriend?
I did have a girl friend that i wasn't attracted to i just used to like her company but after a while i did end up having weird feelings about her. I didn't ask her out or anything cause she just wasn't my type.
I haven't talked to her much since I've come out of high school.
Totally, nothing is wrong with it, but dating is spending time wtih each other ALONE. The boundary must not be walked across. "Then what do I do?" Hanging out in groups. There is absolutely no problem with that.
Some of us actually are looking for friends but a lot of guys even if looking for friends once we find out u have a boyfriend feel as if your just gonna push us away because your boyfriend won't want u around us so we make it easier on us both and just ghost

I think no! In my experience they only want to fuck you
If you present yourself to guys like you do in your pics on here then I wonder why you have the idea that that’s the case?
Well, its just pics lol guys are horny all time
Tbh I agree with him.
