No it just means you are a respectful person that values the foundation of a relationship , You wear your partners’ shoes the same way you want your partner wearing yours. You distance yourself from opposite sex friends out of respect for your relationship , to not make your partner feel insecure and jealous, opposite sex friends can add fire into your relationship without realizing you are doing so. When I was younger I had a group of girl friends that were just my friends , when I met a girl that I was interested in , that girl would get jealous and insecure of my girl friends’ so out of respect, I wouldn’t spend time with my girl friends without my partner by my side. Hoping she would do the same for me. If she didn’t do the same for me? It would turn into a double standard and the relationship would pretty much come to an end because I will start hanging out with my girl friends without her by my side. I realized if a girl can’t respect me , I will not respect her , it needs to go both ways or the relationship will not last

So I'm pretty hot LOL and I know for a fact men and women girls and boys grandma's and grandpas can be friends because that's who we are as human beings it's not always about sex and trying to manipulate the opposite sex to get into their pants as a matter of fact when that's done or even tried we all know it turns out into failure and you never become friends so you have to make a choice in the beginning either get in their pants and somewhere down the road the relationship ends because it was never meant to be or be their friend and remain their friend because that's who we're meant to be

Even a gay who isn't sexually attracted to girls prefers pretty girls as friend because he can use them as lures or at least this is the concept in his gay mind.
Maybe I'm not observant enough but I've never seen a ugly girl with lot of male companion who isn't a complete slut. Slut have their usual disgusting male clientele a classy girl wouldn't even touch with 2m long pole.
In one hand it's difficult to upkeep friendship with boys because they use you or want something from you, but in other hand it's an indicator for your attractiveness. In this context is your question right.
On the other hand, you can't never learn the balance to keep male friends at right distance when you don't attract them or they can't exploit your attractiveness. As attractive girl you will learn it sooner or later and male friendship won't be some challenge anymore.00 Reply
2.7K opinions shared on Relationships topic. No… bc at some point the looks don’t matter, it’s about HOW you want to be with that person — HOW and why you’re attracted to them.
For example, someone who looks “hot” but is only intellectually stimulating to another person… those two will most likely just be friends.
The sweet spot is when a person can be intellectually, emotionally, physically AND socially stimulating to another person… that’s love, attraction… the whole package.00 Reply

So you want to have sex with every woman? That seems like a problem
- +1 y
@CrabCakes11 That's an overstatement. Men often think what sex would be like with a particular woman, especially if they know her well; that doesn't mean they want to, nor that they will, have sex. Women have similar thoughts, by the way, usually with the same lack of action.

+1 yI disagree with that entirely. Physically unattractive people also know that the MAJORITY of men would have sex with an average physically attractive girl if they are given the chance.
I would say there are SOME respectful guys and girls that would never cross the line when someone is in a relationship and not be a homewrecker, but if you're physically attracted to someone and like their personality or both, there's always a chance they might develop feelings towards each other.
You don't have to be attractive to understand human nature.00 Reply
+1 yNo, it means you have a strange relationship with dating and friendship that either makes you think all your opposite sex friends are in love with you, or you have some kind of intimacy problem that makes you fall in love with every opposite sex person you’re close with. It’s really not that difficult to have opposite sex friends. Take it from a bisexual, you can be friends with any gender

If what I read sometimes in this place is the norm I despair for people, I really do.. Good friends of both sexes are important, as you and I clearly both know and if they (some, not all) cannot be friends without thinking it is sexual, I wonder how can they ever be happy.

@TommyMountainFigure yeah. I dont know how a person can fall in love with literally any opposite sex friend. It’s a weird mix of intimacy and attachment problems and sexualizing the opposite sex too much

I wonder if it has also to do with respect. I mean as a kid the saying goes, 'respect your elders'. I was always taught to have respect for the opposite sex too.. Maybe that seems to have gone awry these days?

@TommyMountainFigure maybe
+1 yI don't agree with this one, from my experience males and females can have a friendship but you both clearly have boundaries, i for example could never be as close to my male friends as i am to my female friends just because they undrestand me on a different (girl) point of view.
