What Guys Said
I can. Assuming she likes the same hobbies enough to be friends with. In fact a lot of my friends are women.
Why do you think all men are romantically attracted to all women?
I only find a small portion of women attractive physically, and an even smaller portion attractive mentally, and its so rare to find both in one package near my age group that every women I come across has a 0.00000000000001% chance of being anything more than just a friend (and straight up zero chance if under 25 or over 45)
I've had lots of platonic friendships over the years. When I was in college I always hung around with Samantha, Kate and Sarah. They were easy to talk to and just seemed like regular people.
At University I used to hang around with a girl called Diane. She was my cinema buddy. Must have been to maybe 50 movies over 2 years with her. Neither of us were interested in anything more. She was attractive enough but I was far too busy studying to even contemplate relationships.
Since I've been married I have loads of female friends through my wife's connections. I don't want anything from these ladiee except interesting chats.
If you have feelings for the girl it’s not easy. Guys and men don’t get courted the way girls and women do. Females have more social media followers, females tend to be courted/approached more. Guys/men Have this thinking to if I’m her friend maybe she’ll deal with me and that confuses women to. It’s not an easy thing and I guess when sexual tension and feelings are involved it’s not that simple. I have respect for girls I work with that I only consider colleagues even if they are pretty because I need to keep it professional.
Most of my friends are women actually. I get along better with them in general, although my BEST friend is a guy. Just the way things worked out I guess.
I do thing men in general have a harder time not seeing her as a dating prospect. For a lot of different reasons, but they're too varied to get into.
Because if there is no spark, usually men and women don't have enough in common to remain close friends. Few women want to talk about pussy, how big my last poop was, how great it was that I got my cum swallowed last night, oil changes, guns, biceps, or most of the usual make interests. Few men are interested in "woman's issues" or hobbies or complaining about men or your period. If I am showing interest in typical feminine subjects it is because I am interested in her. In fact there is a certain amount of calorie burn for men when women are around because we can't say whatever we want and I'm sure it is the same for women.
It's not an absolute rule but yes men and women can be only friends. However, I advice men not to be friends with women unless they absolutely have to because men dont get anything from such relationships. Women get the attention, time and resources however, men do not get the sexual attention. So it's a one sided deal. However, if a man feels like he's in a friendship with a woman and he's not attracted to her and she brings value to his life than sure.
We can if we have our base covered, ie got a good girlfriend. Or if she is unattractive. But for most parts we are different so most women are simply not worth having as friends because then you get the compromises of a relationship but not the benefits. Men are just simpler to deal with as friends.
In your opinion what is the difference between platonic relationships between a male and platonic relationships between a female friend?
Interests, ie women like different things, also expectations men don't really have any, women do.
Why do you believe men don’t have expectations in relationships compared to women?
Also thank you for the honest responses ^
We just chill, there is no expectation. Aslong as your not a ahole your fine. And I don't count normal behavior as an expectation. Because you can expect to be challenged on shit like that.
I've been friends with this one woman since high school. It's been more than 10 years right now. We've never once flirted or acted romantically because we have absolute respect for each other. Of course, being single, I WOULD take her in a heartbeat if she gave me the sign.
But we've been friends for this long, I really don't care what our relationship is at this point.
For the most part it is either just physical or emotional like the other guys said. I do not remember where I found it at, but call my bluff and look it up, I wants read that men do fall in love faster than women. Rather it does start off with luxe or even Personality, it’s just something we do. I don’t know if it’s from an revolutionary standpoint or just primal drive
Well I for sure can but there is hormonal feelings and naughty thoughts with a fair number of these girls, 5-15% of whom I've had "dual naughty conversation" with
But they would probably say that they can't because they see girls being there friend as either: (A not the purpose of male female interaction (B disrespectful to there already girlfriend/wife or (C see women or girls as property of men and only for romance or sex.
