If you ask a woman if she has male friends, she’ll say yes.  If you ask a man if he has female friends he’ll say, yes, but they’re either ugly or stupid or somehow undesirable to them. A lot of men will say that they’re only friends with a woman because they’re sexually attracted to her.  A man will admit that most of his female friends, excluding the aforementioned categories, are just women he hasn’t had the opportunity to sleep with yet.   Women can befriend a man with no intention of ever sleeping with him or seeing him naked … it appears that men, on the other hand, ONLY friend women for these reasons, except in rare circumstances.

I personally, being a female of course, think the answer to this question is quite simple.  Yes.  Men and women can be just friends.  I have mostly male friends and who knows their motives for being my friend … but I know from my end, it’s because I like their company and think they’re good people.  It has nothing to do with me wanting to sleep with them, at all.  And I’m not saying my male friends are unattractive either … but they’re just that to me; friends. [My friends are sexy, for the record, hahaha]

I guess from my point of view, the motivation behind becoming and remaining friends with someone of the opposite sex, like many other things, is starkly different between the two sexes.   Men tend to have a more carnal response to all situations presented in the relationship world.  In my previous posts, I discussed how men are averse to change while women, more often than not are pretty flexible to their man’s needs.  In my future posts I will address being friends with an ex, not just a person of the opposite sex.  I thought this was a pretty good set up, don’t you?

Ladies, think about it; it’s kind of hard to fathom that every guy you’re friends with would sleep with you if you gave him the opportunity.  And guys; are you really that uncritical of those you befriend? Ok, maybe that’s reading too far into it and you can’t change a man’s thought process.  But this blog should help provoke yours.

Ladies and gents – what do you think? Can men and women really be just friends?
