Search Results: picking up women

So every girl probably has a male friend who goes beyond the call of duty of what any standard friendship would entail. Whether it's picking her up if she's stranded at a party, consoling her when she dated an asshole but he used her for sex, making a present for her birthday that took a lot of effort and consideration to make etc.

I hear a lot of women say that they were just totally clueless that this guy liked them and wanted more than a friendship when any guy including the guy she decides to go with as a boyfriend can see that this dude REALLY likes her and wants more. Women often use the excuse, well he just didn't say anything and therefore I was totally clueless.

And some women actually come around and give these guy's a chance when their desperate in their 30's and late 20's using the old tired lines like "You were there for me through tough and hard times when every other guy was only after one thing. I'm so glad I can date my soulmate and friend" or some shit like that.

But that begs the question. Are women really clueless of the guy's who like them or do they just use these guys for special favors, backup men (in case they are low on options for marriage/settling down phase), attention and ego boost.
